Moms' Morning Sickness Remedies

By the editors of Parenting, Parenting

If you're like 85 percent of moms-to-be, you've had at least a few bouts of nausea  -- with or without vomiting. Doctors recommend such queasy-easing remedies like vitamin B6, ginger, and antihistamines. But here's what moms across the country say worked wonders for them:

"If it hadn't been for Gatorade  -- especially orange  -- I wouldn't have made it."
 -- Emily Cassetty, Bowling Green, KY

"Cinnamon gum. Actually, anything cinnamon usually did the trick."
 -- Michelle Klein, Scarsdale, NY

"I kept raisins by my bed and would eat a little bit throughout the night."
 -- Gloria Armstrong, Syracuse, NY

"My husband brought me a bagel and chocolate milk in bed every morning. I'd eat a few bites and then go back to sleep. When I got up later, I didn't feel queasy."
 -- Leslie Garrison, Virginia Beach, VA

"Pickles."
 -- Anne Murphy, Long Beach, CA

"Crushed ice with Coke syrup mixed in."
 -- Brenda Josephs, Palisades, NY
