Morning Sickness:
Many women suffer from nausea and vomiting in the early months of pregnancy. Nausea is maximum in the mornings and hence it has described as morning sickness. It usually ceases after the first three months but may persist a little longer some cases.
1. One of the easiest ways to prevent morning sickness is to eat something before getting out of the bed. A cup of tea with some biscuits or a piece of fruit eaten on waking up, helps a lot.
2. In case nausea and vomiting still persist, you should see your doctor. There are various medicines which can give symptomatic relief.
3. As soon as you wake up in the morning, take 5-6 drops of the juice of green ginger mixed with a spoonful of honey and sip it little by little.
4. Get a little cumin seed (jeera) and a little coriander powder them together and mix the powder with the decoction prepared by boiling Nelli (Amla) fruits in the water, add milk and suger to taste and drink it twice daily morning and evening for a few days in a moth until there is relief

Pregnant women should never take any drugs, injections and X-rays for ant ailments and anti-nauseants for morning sickness during the entire period of their pregnancy especially during first 12 or even 20 weeks when the congenital nucleus structures such as eyes, ears, heart, bones, muscles, etc of the infant are in the process of formation and development in the fetus, unless it is for a pre-existing illness or one that has developed during pregnancy. Even then the decision about when to administer drugs or injections in such special cases and which of these are safe from the point of view of toxic effects on the fetus is still a ticklish question.
Excessive consumption of foods containing vitamin A during pregnancy will result in disfigured or physically defective offspring. This has been established in the researches made by Dr Edward Lamor of Toronto, Canada.
