Its very common to have morning sickness during the 1st trimester. It usually resolves on its own as 2nd trimester starts. Apart from a few medicines to counteract the nausea and vomiting, make few modifications in eating and sleeping habits. Avoid being awake late nights, better to wake up early in the morning. A good uninterrupted sleep of about 8 hrs is necessary and sufficient. The 1st thing to enter the stomach in the morning after waking up should not be any kind of liquid (no water, milk, juice, tea, coffee etc. Rather it should be something dry and absorbent like 2-3 biscuits, rusks or puffs. Then have the medicines with the minimum amount of water. Then have breakfast witim 30-45 mins. Fluids to be taken strictly after breakfast. Stop tea and coffee completely. Lots of fluids of any kind throughout the day. Eat something (anything) every 3 hours. Have 3-4 proper meals throughout the day, day with snacks and fruits in between. Have something sweet at night. Medicines at night will help reduce nausea n vomiting in the morning.
