How to cure nausea, seriously!?

What I am learning this pregnancy is that for every symptom you have, every cold you get and every pain you have, there is nothing to help! Basically SUCK IT UP SISTA! The medical profession sides on the side of CAUTION. Caution from being sued! We all hear the stories of our parents and the horrible things they took and did while pregnant with us! My god our parents should be ashamed! Not seriously. I wish I lived in the world free from fear!

My nausea has been bad this pregnancy. Sure I had the nausea last pregnancy but I was in a different mind set. I thought the nausea was kind of exciting and totally pregnant thing to have. This pregnancy (my 3rd) I want nothing to do with it, I have it 24 7 it even wakes me up in the middle of the night. I lay in bed and pray for it to go away. I even put one foot on the floor thinking that will help. You know like when you drink to much and you want to make the spinning stop! I would try anything....so I searched the internet for home remedies and cures. What I found my favorite top 5!

1. GINGER - Put a little fresh ginger in with hot water or in sparkling water or sprinkle on some food. It's a traditional remedy, but be cautioned consuming to much could cause extreme diarrhea and even miscarriage! WHAT1? I will admit I tried it and yes ended up with extreme diarrhea! Won't go back to ginger.

2.EAT Small Frequent meals - Several articles out there suggest eating small frequent meals several times a day. They even suggest you put crackers next to your bed and eat a few before you sit up! They go on to suggest that eating high protein snacks such as beef jerky, tuna salad and cheese will help curb that nausea. However, do not eat more then 6 oz of tuna a week or you may give your baby mercury poision! Don't eat to much cheese or dairy because that could add to the nausea and even constipation. Read the lable make sure that cheese is pasturized! It is super important to watch how many calories you take in because you shouldn't gain more then a half a pound per week!  So I guess we nibble on food like rabbits?

3.Avoid greasy or spicy food - Makes since right but in the same article they advise you eat what you crave because your body will tell you what it wants! Even if it's the spicy burritos. Seriously!? I went to Taco Bell, giving into my cravings (not my better judgment)! I was miserable for two days! Taco Bell is evil on pregnant women...or just me!!!

4. Drink plenty of fluid - but be sure to do this in small amounts through out the day. Avoid drinking while eating or snacking. Wait 20 minutes after eating to drink and avoid eating for 20 minutes after you drink! UH!? Is their an app for this!? I can't keep track of that timing. I think my head is spinning...oh no just more nausea.

5. Open a window - Breath fresh air sounds simple and smart/ Oh,but, yes there is eaven a caution to the fresh air! High humidity, extreme high temps or even extreme low temps could add to the nausea. Stay clear of aeras with lots of exhaust fumes or cigarette smoke! For those of us that live in city or highly populated areas...don't breath!

Seriously, how the hell do we cope! Their is nothing you can take without a caution! SUCK IT UP SISTA, you are pregnant pray it ends after birth!
