While there is no cure for morning sickness, except the passage of pregnancy, there are things a woman can do to help alleviate morning sickness. Morning sickness can occur at any time of the day, not just the morning, so be prepared for a bout of nausea when it occurs.
1. Morning sickness starts in the early stages of pregnancy and subsides by the second trimester.
This soon will end.

2. The golden months of pregnancy are usually between the fourth and sixth months when morning sickness disappears, the abdomen is not too large, and it is easier for a woman to maneuver. Also, this is when the obvious signs that a new baby is on the way which means new mothers-to-be can start showing off their pregnant figure and new maternity clothes.
3. Eat small meals throughout the day.
4. Eat saltine crackers before getting out of bed in the morning.
Sometimes eating saltine crackers will help.

5. Eat bland meals. Gelatin, Popsicles and ginger ale may help ease the queasy tummy.
6. Eat carbohydrates. Try a plain baked potato or dry toast.
7. Avoid stuffy or over heated rooms.
8. Avoid spicy foods, if they bother you.
9. Avoid odors or smells that bother you. For each woman it is different, for some it maybe the smell of eggs cooking, coffee perking or the smell of wood smoke. For others it could be perfumes, room fresheners or detergents.
10. Use acupressure wristbands sold for motion sickness.
11. Rest as needed. Sometimes staying refreshed and relaxed will help ease morning sickness.Discuss the use of prenatal supplements with your doctor. Some women are sensitive to the iron in the supplement which can cause morning sickness.
Warnings:
1. Call your doctor if you are vomiting blood.
2. Call your doctor if you lose more than two pounds in weight.
3. Call your doctor if you vomit more than four times in one day.
