Morning Sickness:

Nausea and mild vomiting in the morning during the first and sometimes second trimester of pregnancy. Often occurs because of low blood sugar, build up of a by-product from increased hormonal activity, a vitamin B6 deficiency (which may cause low blood sugar problems), and/or a calcium deficiency.

Natural Remedies:

Walking at least a mile a day in the fresh air, if weather permits, is a wonderful way to get your circulation going and to get rid of the hormonal by- products.

Increase the amounts of the B-complex vitamins and iron in your diet. See "The Vitamin Guide" for more information on B6.

Avoid spicy and greasy foods; cooking, eating or smelling.
