Okay, so you are pregnant. One of the draw backs or symptoms is nausea and vomiting. Well this is not so fun, it is one of the things that comes with pregnancy (unless you are one of the lucky ones). I was not one of the lucky ones.

Nope, I was not lucky at all when it came to nausea and vomiting, instead, I had it the worst ever! I was sick day and night, throughout my entire pregnancy, up until I delivered. Yuck!

This brings on the question whether or not you want to take the medication root or the natural root. There are many different things that you can do for yourself to help yourself through this time.

One of the things that I always did was eat tums like they were candy. Yes, they are packed with calcium, but your body will only use what it needs, and the rest will just be flushed out. Tums were especially helpful with nausea, and their chalkiness was even more helpful (as yucky as that sounds). You could also drink peppermint tea, and you do have the option of purchasing that caffeine free.

If you want to go the herbal route, check with your doctor first. Ginger is a great herb that is very soothing on your tummy. But, if you don’t want to take a herb but still want the ginger effects, something very tasty would be ginger snaps. You can buy that in a grocery store. I used to keep a box in my car.

I used to keep a package of unsalted or salted soda crackers at my bedside, or in my car, just in case I got a bout of nausea. I always kept peppermint tums in my purse so I could eat them whenever I needed them.

Although all these lovely natural things worked for me with both of my pregnancies with my sons, my pregnancy with my daughter was even worse. With all of my pregnancies I always had one thing that would set me off the most, but when I was expecting her, it seemed like everything was not allowed in my tummy. Since I was loosing weight so quickly, my OB/GYN prescribed me Diclectin. It is a pregnancy safe drug (if you look at it, there is a picture of a pregnant mommy on it) and that was the only way that I could actually keep anything down.

With both my sons I was prescribed Diclectin as well, but I was determined not to use it in fear of anything that would disrupt my pregnancy or my baby. Although my fears were common, I know now that I should have done the research and calmed my fears. So when it came to my health and the health of my unborn baby (my daughter) I realized that I had no choice but to take Diclectin. I did the research and I did take the medication. My daughter is healthy and happy and to think that I could have lost her is now put behind me. Thank goodness for research!
