My wife is a month pregnant and she vomits a lot morning through night on a daily basis.

Stress and Fatigue can cause morning sickness, and is more common in first pregnancies. There are no cures for morning sickness but there are ways to alleviate symptoms.
*Eat a diet high in protein and complex carbs, both of which fight nausea. general good nutrition may help, too, so eat as well as you can under the circumstances.
*Drink plenty of fluids, especially if you're losing liquid through vomiting. If they are easier to get down than solids when you're feeling green, use them to get your nutrients. Consentrate on any of the following that you can handle: A milk shake, fruit or vegetable juices, soups, broths, and bouillons. If you find fluids make you queasier, eat solids with a high water content, such as fresh fruits and veggies - particularly lettuce, melons, and citrus fruits. some women find that drinking and eating at the same sitting puts too much strain on their digestive tract; if this is true for you, try taking your fluids between meals.
*Take a prenatal vitamin supplement to compensate for nutrients you may not be getting. But take it at a time of day when you are least likely to chuck it back up - possibly with a substantial bedtime snack.
*Avoid food smells that trigger nausea. Choose only sweet foods if they're all you can tolerate (get your vitamin A and protein from yellow peaches and cottage cheese at dinner instead of from broccoli and chicken). Or select only savories if they're your ticket to a less tumultuous tummy (have a grilled cheese and tomato sandwich for breakfast instead of cereal and O.J.).
*Eat early and often - before you feel hungry. When your stomach is empty, its acids have nothing to digest but its own lining. This can trigger nausea. So can the low blood sugar caused by long stretches between meals. Six small meals are better than three large ones.
*Eat in bed - for the same reasons you should eat often; to avoid an empty stomach and to keep your blood sugar at an even keel. Before you go to sleep at night, have a snack that is high in protein and complex carbs: a glass of milk and a bran muffin, for example. Twenty min before you plan to get out of bed in the morning, have a high-carb snack: a few whole-wheat crackers or rice cakes, dry cereal, or a handful of raisins. Keep them next to your bed so you don't have to get up for them.
*Get extra sleep and relaxation.
*Greet the morning in slow motion. Rushing tends to aggravate nausea.
*Try Sea-Bands, (my doc recommended this to those in need) they are one-inch-wide elastic bands, worn on both wrists, put pressure on acupressure points on the inner wrists and often relieve nausea. They cause no side effects and are widely available at drug and health food stores.
*Acupuncture, acupressure, biofeedback, or hypnosis, or just meditate and visualize.
*Turn to ginger, a spice long known for its tummy-taming properties. Try ginger candies, foods prepared with real ginger, real ginger ale - even the smell of fresh ginger can quell the queasies for some women. (Peppermint also works which is why restaraunts give you mints at the end of a meal.. so you don't leave with a belly ache and want to come back).
*If nothing else helps, ask your Dr about a pX of B6 and antihistamines which seems to relieve nausea in some women. Do not take any medication (traditional or herbal) for morning sickness unless it is prescribed by your practitioner.

Can you do Hypnosis while you are pregnant?
Q. Before i got pregnant i did hypnosis for my irritable bowel syndrome and it seemed like it worked. Can i do hypnosis while im pregnant?
Answer
My opinion as a professional hypnotherapist is that hypnosis greatly helps during pregnancy. I have given hypnosis sessions to pregnant clients, and they've reported a much calmer, more comfortable time, up to and including the birth experience. And I also teach them to do self-hypnosis, and suggest recorded sessions for them to use, as well.
Self-hypnosis is extremely easy to do, and can help alleviate any anxiousness, stresses or discomfort that a person may experience. If you have had a wonderful experience using self-hypnosis or hypnosis in any form in the past, there is no reason to think you would have a different experience now. To make the best use of it, you can let yourself go into self-hypnosis anytime you like, for 5 minutes, or twenty or on your way into sleep. There are many places where you can find simple instructions about how to do self-hypnosis, or if you like, you may email me from my website and I'll be happy to send you a .pdf of my own version.
Meanwhile, if you like, you can just let your eyes close, and then imagine yourself walking down some steps into a jacuzzi or hot tub...feeling the warm steam on your skin, and the warmth going into your muscles....then sitting in the water and feeling the tensions dissolving, and how very relaxed you can be there, feeling the strong stream of water, sending the warmth deeper into muscles and joints, and feeling the wonderful tickling of the bubbles on your skin, relaxing deeper and deeper, just letting go of all the tensions and stresses of your day. And when you are there, feeling really good, and warm and relaxed, you might decide to visualize everything going really smoothly, experiencing whatever is appropriate for you to experience right now...and when you have done whatever it was that you wanted to do, you can allow yourself to drift off into the wonderful world of sleep, to get exactly the right amount of refreshing rest, that you will awaken completely rejuvenated and ready to start your day in the very best way. And if, for some reason, you want to get up after doing self-hypnosis, you might just imagine instead that in a moment, when you open your eyes, you will feel so much more awake, aware and refreshed, and will feel as if you had a wonderful nap of just the right length.
It's very easy, a natural human capability, and can be extremely helpful to you and your life.
Wishing you health and happiness!
