There are several modalities that can help with nausea and vomiting during pregnancy. Some of our patients experience very slight nausea and occasionally throw up during pregnancy. And other patients are so severe in their nausea and vomiting that they are hospitalized and/or medicated. Sometimes it just lasts for couple of weeks or months and sometime it goes very deep into the pregnancy and all the way through the pregnancy. Naturally, the most powerful modality we have for nausea and vomiting is Chinese medicine. We use acupuncture to decrease the nausea and Chinese herbs to control the vomiting. And once the nausea and vomiting are under control, we use nutrition to stabilize the blood sugar and make sure that both mom and baby are given the nutrients and fluids they need to be healthy.
