Why do I get morning sickness and nausea, and what can I do about it?

Nausea in early pregnancy is a condition that often can be managed nutritionally:

• Eat small meals
• Avoid going long periods without food
• Drink fluids between, but not with, meals
• Avoid food that are greasy, fried or highly spiced
• Avoid foul and unpleasant odors
• Rest when you are tired
• Severe nausea and vomiting in pregnancy is rare, but if it occurs, it may cause you to become dehydrated. If you feel that your nausea or vomiting is keeping you from eating right or gaining enough weight, consult your doctor.
