Results of a relatively large research study recently showed that an anti-nausea drug appears to be safe for use during pregnancy.
The Associated Press report says, "The Israeli study, led by researchers at Ben-Gurion University, included pregnant women enrolled in Israel's largest HMO from 1998 through 2007. It compared the health of newborns of 3,458 women who took metoclopramide, for as little as a week to more than three weeks, with 78,245 newborns of women who had not used it. Rates of problems were low and similar in both groups."
According to WebMD, metoclopramide is a pretty powerful anti-nausea drug ... it is used to help chemotherapy patients with their nausea. WebMD has several suggestions for dealing with morning sickness. If these types of home remedies are not working for your pregnant daughter, talk to her doctor about whether she should try metoclopramide.

Morning sickness is a very difficult thing to handle...and some of us develop nausea from smells of food also...fragrances help.And it's best to keep the diet simple and light and avoid all the things that cause nausea.
