30 Healthy Pregnancy Secrets from "Dr. Mom"
Coping with Morning Sickness
During my first pregnancy, I had intense morning sickness. But I found one amazingly effective remedy: fresh ginger.
I took a thumbnail-size piece of fresh gingerroot, chopped it fine, and steeped it like you would tea in hot water, for two to three minutes. I'd sip that all day long and chew the ginger at the bottom of each mug. My nausea was decreased by about 50 percent. Nothing else, not even prescription drugs, was as effective.
