Prevention and Treatment of Morning Sickness: Can morning sickness be prevented?

There is no cure for morning sickness other than delivery; similarly, there is no effective treatment.  There are many strategies for effective management, however.  Most suggestions involve avoiding triggers and making small but effective dietary changes.  The most important advice is to figure out what works for you and just do it.

The mainstay of morning sickness management is maintaining adequate fluid and nutrition intake along with the use of anti-nausea medications if needed. Several medications may be given safely, but it is important for a pregnant woman to check with her physician before taking any medications. 

Well-ventilated rooms, which prevent accumulation of cooking odors or cigarette smoke, may help prevent morning sickness. Avoid smoking or being around others who are smoking.  Avoid other strong odors such as those in beauty salons, chemicals, etc.
