Health Tip: Soothing Morning Sickness

(HealthDay News) -- Morning sickness can plague a mother-to-be all day, preventing her from getting the nutrition she and her baby need.

The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists offers these suggestions to help soothe morning sickness:

• Make sure you get enough rest.

• Stay away from odors that upset your stomach.

• Instead of eating three large meals each day, eat five to six smaller meals throughout the day.

• Before getting out of bed, eat a few crackers to calm your stomach.

• Snack on protein-rich foods, such as yogurt.

• Skip foods that are greasy or high in fat.
