  • Milk Thistle: Taken before and during first trimester, it can diminish nausea, even vomiting. It is also good for increasing breast milk once the child is born.

    • Milk Thistle 

    Many blogs have appeared online as to how this herb has helped women with continual nausea and vomiting. Also, it is good to take this a few weeks before pregnancy if you have had the problem before.

    Always check with your doctor, to see whether supplements might interfere with your meds or conditions.
