How to Ease Morning Sickness
Learn how you can lessen your pregnancy nausea in the morning and throughout the rest of the day
Sick of morning sickness? Acupressure may ease pregnancy-related nausea and vomiting, according to a study in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology. Researchers recruited 80 pregnant women who had been hospitalized because of nausea and divided them into two groups. One group wore wristbands that applied pressure to the P6 meridian point (a spot two fingerbreadths below the wrist crease at the base of the palm); the other wore sham wristbands. Only 11 women in the treatment group stayed in the hospital for more than 4 days, compared with 18 women in the placebo group. "Acupressure appears to interfere with signals to the vomiting center in the brain," study author Alexander Heazell explains. "It's also safer than most drugs used to treat this condition." If you're pregnant and feeling ill, try the Sea-Band ($10 per pair, Sea-Band Ltd).
