Treatments for morning sickness, typically at its worst in the first trimester, include all of the following EXCEPT:
  1. Eating small, frequent meals.
  2. Limiting calories
  3. Eating before getting out of bed
  4. Ginger
Explanation
Answer: B - Calories are necessary for fetal growth, and mothers should not limit caloric intake during pregnancy. Ways to deal with nausea include eating small, frequent meals and not letting the stomach get empty. Keeping snacks next to the bed and eating them before starting to move may also help alleviate some nausea. Drinking between meals, rather than with them, stems some nausea. Steer clear of carbonated beverages. Some moms find relief by eating candied ginger or drinking ginger tea. Acupressure wristbands alleviate nausea for some women. Morning sickness can happen at any time during the day. If nausea and vomiting are so bad that the mother cannot keep any food or drink in her system, she should seek treatment.
