My friend Tania told me that one of the worst things about the early days of carrying her son was trying to find a way to get past the morning sickness. Pregnancy nausea relief became an obsession with her as she searched high and low for anything that could help her get through the day. “I thought it was called morning sickness,” she said on one of the bad days, “So why do I still feel like crap at 4:30 in the afternoon?”

Tania’s doctor told her about some of the anti-nausea medicines she could try but she really wanted to carry Tyler as ‘naturally’ as possible so she stuck with taking plenty of B vitamins , staying hydrated and looking around on the web for ideas. Most days she stuck with a simple program of sleep, and hydration, and a regular diet of saltine crackers.

“Sleep is the most important thing!” Her mother told her – so she tried to get enough sleep even though she still had to go to work and take care of the rest of her life and get the room ready for her baby.  Her mom told her to “Get to bed early enough so that you can get eight hours of sleep.  Also, rest or even nap during the day.”

“Hydration is very important!” Tania’s trainer said. “Carrying a child is like training for a marathon. Remember to drink water throughout the day.  Drinking water before and after meals, instead of during, will help stave off feelings of bloat or queasiness.  Water-filled fruits, such as watermelon, are light, delicious, and keep nausea at bay.  Drinking mint, ginger or lemon tea or lemonade is also very helpful.” so she drank juice and water and water and spent what seemed like hours running to the bathroom to pee.

“God I used to love saltines!” her friend raved. “Nothing settled my stomach better than some saltines and a little diet coke. When you do eat meals, make them small ones.  It is preferable to eat a few smaller meals throughout the day, rather than a couple of heavy meals, which will take longer to digest.”

Tania was miserable. She never gets enough sleep, the water made her have to pee all the time, and if there is one thing ‘T’ loves – its good food.  “This little thing inside me had better be grateful!” she joked, “I’m going through the worst 9 months of my life for them!”

Then she found a program called “End Morning Sickness Now” “Its a great book that talks about using all of the regular tricks along with secret acupressure techniques that work to stop nausea in nearly everyone who apply them.” Tania raved. She looked around on the web at a few of the free sites like this and this but couldn’t find any real information on it. At this point she felt she’d do just about anything to get some pregnancy nausea relief, so she got the book and gave it a shot.

It worked! Suddenly the world got brighter and Tania could actually enjoy her pregnancy – well, parts of it anyway. She swears by the technique now and tells every pregnant woman she meets about the benefits of using acupressure to cure their morning sickness. Every person and every pregnancy is different. What works for one person may not work for you and what works for you may send someone else scampering for the restroom. The key to dealing with morning sickness is to find what works and go with it. After seeing what Tania went through and the rapid results she got from acupressure to cure morning sickness, I’d highly recommend “End Morning Sickness Now” to anyone who is struggling through their early pregnancy.
