10 Nausea Remedies During Pregnancy

Pin It Now!

The first trimester with #2 has been much harder then I had during my pregnancy with Baby Bear.  During that pregnancy, I was working full time and I don't know if I just had to ignore how I was feeling, or I felt differently.  I was nauseous, but not to the same degree.  I was also really tired this time and just generally not feeling well for three months.  So naturally, I needed to have a cabinet full of remedies to help keep the nausea at bay. I try not to eat food with additives or anything artificial in general, but especially when pregnant. 

~My 10 favorite remedies for nausea during pregnancy~

{1} Anything Ginger Helps
Ginger Tea
Ginger Chews (try Reed's Ginger Candy)
Candied Ginger
Ginger Ale 






{2} Soda Water or lightly flavored LaCroix 
I need something other then water when my stomach is flipping

 {3} Mary's Gone Crackers
After eating saltines for a few days, I needed an alternative 








{4} SweeTarts


My cousin Adina told me about eating SweeTarts when I was pregnant with Baby Bear.  I had them in my desk at work, in my purse, and at home! You have to suck on them and not chew to get the best effect. I could not find a more natural alternative and they work like magic. 

{5} Preggie Pops
Had these in the car 'just in case'
















{6} Watermelon
Cold & Crisp and great to help replace electrolytes

{7} Plenty of Water 

I always carry a reusable bottle of 'emergency water' everywhere with me because sometimes I feel like I need to drink an ocean.  My best friend and I joke about this, but I always had it with me when I was pregnant with Baby Bear when I was on the train in Chicago.  

{8} Glee Gum

{9} Young Coconut 

Coconuts are incredible to eat fresh.  We would buy them by the case in Chicago, but I have trouble finding the young coconuts in Detroit.  They have good fats and the water fresh from the coconut tastes better then any bottled variety that I have found.  Then you can also eat the meat of coconut or put it in a smoothie.  

Just a note-coconut milk is not the same as coconut water.

{10} Peppermint or Chamomile tea

I found that drinking Peppermint or Chamomile tea with a little honey helped to prevent the morning sickness for a little while

Maybe you are not pregnant, but your friend or spouse is, how about make them a Feel Good Kit!
