Morning sickness is caused by the hormones that support your pregnancy, so feeling constantly nauseated is actually a good thing (in a stomach-churning way). Nevertheless, wobbly first trimester tummies need special treatment. Here are some foods that may help you feel a little less nauseous.

Morning Sickness Remedy #1: Ginger
Pickled, in a tea bag or as a capsule ‑- whatever the format, ginger is a natural remedy for nausea.

Morning Sickness Remedy #2: Crackers
An old standby, but one effective for many women. So are potato chips ‑- though they're saltier, which isn't necessarily a good thing, you'll leave fewer crumbs in your wake. This is useful, as vacuuming probably isn't high on your to-do list right now. Some women also swear by rice cakes.

Morning Sickness Remedy #3: Frozen yogurt
It looks like ice cream. It even tastes a little like ice cream. And it's pretty gentle on your stomach. Plus you don't have to do all that chewing which triggers nausea for some women ‑- same goes for applesauce, oatmeal and pudding.

Morning Sickness Remedy #4: Lemons
Simply sniff to relieve nausea.
