Episode 33: Morning Sickness

In this episode of the Nourishing Birth and Beyond podcast, I discuss the challenges of morning sickness during pregnancy, debunking the myth that it only occurs in the morning. I offer practical tips such as consuming dry, crunchy foods and herbal teas, and explores alternative therapies like acupressure, reflexology, and acupuncture. I also emphasise the importance of seeking medical advice if symptoms become severe and encourages listeners to share their own tips for managing morning sickness.

•  -Tips for managing morning sickness during pregnancy.

Sound bites from this episode:

“Having in your pocket constantly something you can just nibble on as soon as you need it is really helpful.”

“A reflexologist can really help press into those specific spots to help ease that nausea and sickness that you’re experiencing.”

“If you are finding that you’re really struggling and none of these things are working, you’ve tried all the things, then it might be the time to seek out some medical support.”

“Morning sickness is manageable but crappy sickness in pregnancy.”
