10 Nausea Remedies During Pregnancy

Pin It Now!
The first trimester with #2 has been much harder then I had during my pregnancy with Baby Bear.  During that pregnancy, I was working full time and I don't know if I just had to ignore how I was feeling, or I felt differently.  I was nauseous, but not to the same degree.  I was also really tired this time and just generally not feeling well for three months.  So naturally, I needed to have a cabinet full of remedies to help keep the nausea at bay. I try not to eat food with additives or anything artificial in general, but especially when pregnant. 


~My 10 favorite remedies for nausea during pregnancy~




{1} Anything Ginger Helps
Ginger Tea
Ginger Chews (try Reed's Ginger Candy)
Candied Ginger
Ginger Ale 






{2} Soda Water or lightly flavored LaCroix 
I need something other then water when my stomach is flipping








 {3} Mary's Gone Crackers
After eating saltines for a few days, I needed an alternative 








{4} SweeTarts


My cousin Adina told me about eating SweeTarts when I was pregnant with Baby Bear.  I had them in my desk at work, in my purse, and at home! You have to suck on them and not chew to get the best effect. I could not find a more natural alternative and they work like magic. 








{5} Preggie Pops
Had these in the car 'just in case'
















{6} Watermelon
Cold & Crisp and great to help replace electrolytes

{7} Plenty of Water 
I always carry a reusable bottle of 'emergency water' everywhere with me because sometimes I feel like I need to drink an ocean.  My best friend and I joke about this, but I always had it with me when I was pregnant with Baby Bear when I was on the train in Chicago.  




{8} Glee Gum





{9} Young Coconut 
Coconuts are incredible to eat fresh.  We would buy them by the case in Chicago, but I have trouble finding the young coconuts in Detroit.  They have good fats and the water fresh from the coconut tastes better then any bottled variety that I have found.  Then you can also eat the meat of coconut or put it in a smoothie.  
Just a note-coconut milk is not the same as coconut water.


{10} Peppermint or Chamomile tea
I found that drinking Peppermint or Chamomile tea with a little honey helped to prevent the morning sickness for a little while

    1. I LOVE the preggie pops! I actually give them to my hubby or friends if they have an upset stomach. It helps A LOT. It doesn't totally stop the throwing up part but it usually is enough to settle my stomach if I have them right when I started feeling bad.

    2. Well I usually feel bad in the morning when I wake up up until I go to bed at night... So maybe these will make me feel better than!

  2. I lived on rice cakes, water and popsicles for my ENTIRE pregnancy. I was throwing up right until I delivered. I had rice cakes crammed everywhere. In my desk, in the car, beside the bed, and in every purse. In the beginning I could only handle plain, then I moved to popcorn flavoured, then white cheddar and caramel. He was so worth it though! The bonus was I down 5 pounds by the time I went for my 6 week post-partum check up! Now we're going for #2, hope it's not as bad this time, but I will definitely keep these tips in mind! I love sweettarts!

  4. Sweet tarts or any other sour-ish candy worked for me! These are all great tips, I would order flavored soda water at the local coffee stand since they carry the ingredients for italian sodas, if I couldn't find a spritzer near by.
