What vitamins or supplements would help for terrible nausea during pregnancy (1st trimester)?
I thought I remembered hearing nausea was caused by a defeciency in a particular vitamin or mineral, but I can't remember what it was. Maybe one of the B vitamins, but I am really not sure. It would come in handy to know what do to for my terrible nausea. Thanks!

The most popular and effective natural products for soothing the stomach are Peppermint Oil, Ginger, DGL (Deglycyrrhizinated Licorice), and Aloe Vera. Any of those should help quite a bit.. try out one or two of them when you get nauseous. Good luck!

I don’t think vitamins would help with that problem. The N and V is probably from the hormones. B vitamins are definitely good for you during pregnancy, but they don’t help with feeling sick.
Ask the doctor if it would be safe for you to take an anti-emetic (anti-nausea drug). I have also read that it can be treated by eating a few saltine crackers and sipping on gingerale in the morning BEFORE getting out of bed and moving around.

I had horrid nausea for the first 14 weeks or so, and my Dr. prescribed vitamin B-6. I took 50 mgs twice a day, and felt better. Whether it was the vitamins or just my body adjusting, I really don’t know. But it finally went away at about 18 weeks.

oldtimek is right, just make sure not to take more than 4g of ginger a day as this level has been shown to be an abortifacient.

B6……where I work we give out lots of samples of a sucker called Bnatal which is B6

It is B6 once a week. It’s a shot quickly at the Dr. office. During pregnancy , supplements are not enough unless maybe when it is only occasional…and you may waste time and money if you have nausea real often. My daughter did all the herbs etc and nothing helped til she got a shot and what a relief!!!! For occaisional relief, get Ginger.

Ginger worked for me and Peppermint oil helped me relax.

Be very careful what you take during the
1st trimester. This is the time when your
unborn baby can be affected the most by
anything that’s in your blood that’s not supposed to be.
Lay in bed when you wake up. Keep soda
crackers by your bed. Eat a few. Get up
slowly. Is there any kind of juice you can
drink that doesn’t make you sick? If so,
drink this first thing. Only put very soothing
and unspicy things in your stomach. Also,
low on the fats and greasy foods.
