BEA ROWELL: Hi, my name is Bea. I'm a midwife working here at Labor of Love Birth Center in Tampa. We specialize in looking after ladies that are having low-risk pregnancies and are looking for natural birthing choices. I'm here today to talk to you about how to prevent morning sickness. Morning sickness, unfortunately, is one of the first signs of pregnancies you're going to have. It's associated with the high rise in your hormone levels at this time. It's also associated with low blood sugar levels in your system and can also be caused by emotions and stress issues. So to avoid morning sickness, you could benefit from having a protein bar before going to bed. This is going to keep your sugar levels up, and they'll be fairly high in the morning when you wake. Also, you could benefit from a vitamin B6 supplement. Fifty milligrams of the B6 before you go to bed at night and at noon has been shown to help prevent pregnancy nausea in the mornings. When you wake in the morning, try having beside you a cracker or some biscuits or just something nice to eat to settle in your stomach before you get up and start moving. Ginger is a very good supplement to take. You can have ginger cookies or ginger tea or a raspberry leaf tea. Unfortunately, people tend to suffer from morning sickness, whatever they're doing, but these few tips might help minimize it for you. Have a happy and safe pregnancy.
