How To Beat Morning Sickness

Morning sickness is a bit of a misnomer since it can occur at any point throughout the day. The best way to beat it is to eat early in the day, (maybe even keep some crackers near your nightstand to have prior to getting out of bed).

The most famous food to beat nausea is ginger which can be consumed a myriad of ways. Ginger tea, ginger chews, ginger powder, ginger ale (preferably homemade), any way you can get some down will help.

Stay hydrated with lemon water (even just smelling lemon can help!) or lime with a pinch of sea salt for electrolytes.

Vitamin B6 is a water-soluble vitamin used in over 100 essential processes in your body to produce amino acids & metabolize macronutrients such as carbohydrates, proteins, & fats. Consuming enough Vitamin B6 is crucial to the function of nearly every aspect of your body and health, from blood cell production to brain function.

Your baby requires a supply of Vitamin B6 for the healthy development of its brain & nervous system. B6 helps you maintain healthy blood glucose levels. It also plays a role in preventing several issues in newborns, including eczema & low birth weight.

A typical dose of vitamin B6 for morning sickness is 10 mg to 25 mg, 3 times a day.
