To help with nausea you can: eat small frequent meals; drink lots of fluids (cold, clear carbonated beverages often help); avoid hot, spicy, fatty and odorous foods; avoid heat; try to get lots of rest (being tired will contribute to your nausea); eat slowly; and avoid lying down after eating. Vitamin B6 can be used to help with nausea in pregnancy, also your doctor can prescribe medication if required.
