How to Reduce Morning Sickness
1. Avoid prenatal supplements that contain iron or a high dose of iodine or zinc.
Iron-containing supplements may aggravate the symptoms of morning sickness in the first trimester. If you are iron deficient, studies have shown taking an iron supplement twice a week is just as effective as daily iron supplementation for boosting haemoglobin levels.
The pregnancy hormone, hcg stimulates the thyroid and this can aggravate the symptoms of morning sickness. Iodine also stimulates the thyroid so high doses are best avoided in the first trimester. 150mcg is the least amount of iodine recommended for a prenatal supplement.
Zinc supplements can cause nausea in people whether they are pregnant or not. The RDI of zinc in pregnancy is 11mg daily and it may be best not to exceed this in the first trimester of pregnancy.
2. Take a prenatal supplement that contains 75mg of vitamin B6 and 1300mg of ginger.
75mg of vitamin B6 and 1300mg of ginger are the clinically trialled doses and have been shown in several studies to be effective at reducing the symptoms of nausea and vomiting in the first trimester.
3. Take a prenatal supplement that contains blood sugar stabilisers.
Chromium picolinate and biotin are excellent blood sugar stabilisers.
