Sick of Morning Sickness? Here's how to help

How to Avoid Pregnancy Induced Morning Sickness

• Remember to take fermented cod liver oil daily

• Daily magnesium intake as I worked to intensively boost magnesium levels. Also using Magnesium Oil on your skin!

• Upped protein intake BEFORE you get pregnant if possible

• Eating very little/no processed foods, sugars, etc

Why Magnesium?

Since digestion changes during pregnancy, it can be difficult to absorb magnesium correctly, especially once you are pregnant. I found the magnesium oil seemed to be the easiest for me to absorb, and even before pregnancy.

Magnesium is also an important mineral during pregnancy, so even if you are already pregnant, it would be worth a try to lessen morning sickness.

Why Fermented Cod Liver Oil?

Fermented Cod Liver Oil is a great source of Vitamins D & A and Omega-3s. Vitamin D is essential for proper absorption and use of magnesium in the body, so this likely also helped the magnesium be more effective. Many women find they do better from consuming enough healthy fats and proteins in early pregnancy (magnesium aside) and Fermented Cod Liver Oil is a great source of healthy fats.

Protein + Fats

Another factor that could make a difference is to in very early pregnancy is to eat a lot of healthy fats and proteins daily. This is supportive of the pregnancy and healthy blood sugar levels before they could start becoming a problem. A good daily protein intake these days typically includes:

• 3-4 eggs

• Some form of healthy meat at every meal

• 2 cups (average) of homemade bone broth daily

• 2-4 Tablespoons of Coconut Oil

• Coconut based snacks like coconut cream

• Various other forms of protein and fat used in cooking, biltong for snack, etc.

Try to consume 3-4 cups+ of vegetables each day, usually in soups or with meats.
