Marshalee- My daughter-in-law is expecting my first grandchild this fall as well, so I will be Granny Nanny soon.;-) I used Adelle Davis' "Lets Have Healthy Children" extensively during my 3 pregnancies and raising my kids, and she always had a vitamin or mineral answer for everything. Now I also learn and know about herbs and CS as well. Anyway, she recommends B6 for nausea, 10 mg to prevent, 25 mg to stop, and up to 250 mg for severe cases. The other thing is the relation of nausea to low blood sugar, as after sleeping all night. To prevent this, she recommends eating a protein snack with some natural carbohydrate, like milk fortified with brewer's yeast or protein powder, eggs and toast, or cheese and fruit, at bedtime. Then eat a little protein before getting up in the morning, and eat small amounts frequently of the same during the day, or spread the food from each meal out by eating a little every hour or two instead of all at once liah...@utah-inter.net. I would carry protein snacks like cheese, nuts, or peanut butter and crackers with me everywhere and snack frequently when I was pregnant and it worked well. The only time I threw up was one morning when I ate sweet rolls for breakfast. Adelle Davis also stresses the need for more protein when pregnant, 75-90 grams, and counting grams to make sure intake is adequate. Avoid sugar and white flour and processed food. Incidentally, I found out the hard way that little kids also need constant snacking with protein foods to keep their blood sugar level up between meals. The brain is the most sensitive organ in the body to low blood sugar and the control centers of the brain shut down when the blood sugar is low, so temper tantrums and fits are the result. One of my daughters demonstrated this when I was busy and didn't keep her blood sugar level up, and another daughter perhaps had this problem but also lost control after eating red food coloring.
