10 best ways to deal with morning sickness and early pregnancy symptoms?

Morning sickness is very common in early pregnancy and is often characterised by nausea and vomiting. Some women feel sick all day long and it can significantly affect their day-to-day life. Morning sickness doesn't put your baby at any increased risk and usually clears up by 16 to 20 weeks of your pregnancy.

There's no sure-shot treatment morning sickness. Things you can try yourself to deal with morning sickness and early pregnancy symptoms include:

• Take plenty of rest
• Avoid foods or smells that make you feel sick
• Eat something like dry toast or a plain biscuit before you get out of bed
• Eat small, frequent meals of plain foods that are high in carbohydrates and low in fat
• Eat cold foods rather than hot ones
• Drink plenty of fluids, such as water
• Eat foods or drinks containing ginger as ginger may help reduce nausea and vomiting
• Try acupressure to get relief from the symptoms
• Try anti-sickness medication after a consultation with your doctor
• If your nausea and vomiting are severe, immediately seek medical attention
