Kingsland, GA (prHWY.com) February 12, 2011 - Many women experience morning sickness when they're pregnant and for some, it's one of the first signs. There's no reason any woman has to endure debilitating morning sickness with the information available at EndingMorningSickness.org.

EndingMorningSickness.org is dedicated to helping women eliminate the morning sickness associated with pregnancy. The site offers information on the causes, along with tips and natural remedies that can help women rid themselves of unpleasant symptoms that can arise during pregnancy.

Pregnancy is one of the most exciting times in a woman's life, but when a woman's hormones begin changing, it can lead to morning sickness. Morning sickness can occur even before pregnancy has been confirmed, often between the fourth and sixth weeks of pregnancy. While there's no cure, there are preventative measures that can significantly reduce the symptoms. Morning sickness usually disappears on its own by the end of the first trimester, but some women experience symptoms throughout the entire pregnancy.

Many remedies have been used throughout history to treat morning sickness. The most popular is ginger which has been used since ancient times. It's ingested as a tea that can be sweetened to accommodate individual tastes. Ginger candy is also available. It relieves nausea and vomiting, and many doctors and midwives routinely offer it to their patients. Pre-made ginger tea bags can be purchased at a variety of health food stores and those that offer holistic remedies.

Another popular treatment is acupressure, also known as sea bands, that work by applying pressure to a point inside the wrist. It works on the same principle as acupressure, but without the needles. Acupressure wristbands can be worn day and night to relieve symptoms.

A change in eating habits can also be beneficial. Eating six or seven small meals throughout the day, instead of three, places less stress on the stomach. Many physicians recommend eating a square or two of saltine crackers before rising in the morning to help absorb acids in the stomach. Greasy foods should be avoided, as they take longer to digest and can trigger nausea.

One of the reasons that women experience morning sickness is a heightened sense of smell. Many women discover that they can't tolerate some familiar scents and odors when they're pregnant. Smelling a slice of lemon is useful in warding off nausea if offensive odors can't be avoided. The aroma of peppermint has also been reported to work.

While morning sickness generally disappears without fanfare, some women experience such severe symptoms that it affects their health and the health of their baby. Women should contact their doctor if they experience such symptoms.

The anticipation surrounding the arrival of a new baby is a wonderful feeling, but the symptoms of morning sickness can interfere with that joy. EndMorningSickness.org maintains an array of informational articles, tips, remedies and resources that can help women eliminate the unwelcome symptoms of morning sickness, allowing them to enjoy their pregnancy to the fullest.
