I distinctly remember being pregnant for about 5 weeks with my first pregnancy. I felt great and food tasted wonderful! In fact, my husband and I went to dinner to celebrate our pregnancy once it was confirmed by a blood test and I believe I ate the best tasting salad of my life. I thought I had beaten the odds since I had not experienced any nausea or morning sickness.
The very next morning, I felt incredible nausea which lasted for about 6 more weeks. I knew of few ways to cope with morning sickness at the time except advice from my female friends who said to "eat saltine crackers."
For about 50-90% of expectant mothers, coping with morning sickness is one of the biggest challenges of early pregnancy. In some cases, it can be severe enough that mothers become dehydrated or lose weight.
The good news is that morning sickness typically passes after the first trimester. Many women find at least partial relief to help them cope with morning sickness by utilizing one or several of these methods simultaneously.
