The Signs of Morning Sickness

Nausea and vomiting are the most obvious signs of morning sickness but there are two other signs that are widely experienced. One is increased mood swings and the other is a heightened sense of smell. If you notice either or both of these, then it may be that very shortly afterwards you will begin to experience some morning sickness. Of course, if your sense of smell is more acute than normal, then you are more like to be nauseated by certain foods or substances.

The Causes of Morning Sickness

Many of us would like to know more about what causes morning sickness, as for many years it's been something of a mystery. The editor of one of our 'colleague' sites, Surebaby.com, has kindly written this article on the medical causes of morning sickness, specially for Pregnancy Information Guide.

Finding a Cure for Morning Sickness

OK, so it turns out you're one of the unlucky many who suffer from it, but the question you really want answered is, “Is there a cure for morning sickness?"

Online and elsewhere you'll find many recommendations. I'd never had any nausea with my first pregnancy so it had been a real shock when my second pregnancy announced itself with early morning dashes to the bathroom.The best solution I found was to have a dry cream cracker or oatcake in a little plastic container next to the bed. When I woke up in the morning, before I moved more than my arm, I'd reach out and grab the box, then slowly eat the cracker, then lie for about 15 minutes more before getting up. It seemed to help a lot - until I started getting the nausea through the day as well. That was harder to solve.

At first it was mild but then it got really bad until it was lasting almost all day and was restricting my life considerably.I was really fed up with it!

I began to search for a natural remedy for morning sickness and soon had tried ginger, several different herbal remedies and a homoeopathic remedy. Some did actually reduce the symptoms but nothing took the awful nausea away completely.

Finally I spotted a tiny section of a web page that suggested an E-book about how to cure morning sickness. I downloaded it and allowed the dishes to go unwashed while I sat and read it. This time, thank goodness, I'd found the solution and a few days later I was free of all signs of morning sickness and nausea, and I stayed that way for the rest of my pregnancy. Phew!

That E-book is still available and I thoroughly recommend getting your own copy. The lady who wrote it offers a cast iron guarantee that if it doesn't work, you can get your money back, but she reckons over 90% of those who try it find that it works well for them. There are lots of testimonials on her page, so take heart – there really is a cure for morning sickness that works for 90%+ of us!
