Getting Through Morning Sickness While Taking Care of a Toddler

Those of us who have severe nausea due to pregnancy know that the term “morning sickness” is one of the biggest fallacies in the English language. The sickness for us can be morning, noon and night. The first trimester of expecting baby #2 (or 3…) can be the most challenging times for any mom. Changing diapers and preparing meals while on the verge of losing your cookies can be an awful experience.

I’ve tried every remedy suggested from B6 vitamins to ginger to mint tea to prescription medication and nothing relieved the nausea. What did take the edge off was acupuncture. Twice a week until I turned the corner. Good luck mommies, and hang in there!
