Morning sickness can be helped in a few ways. Dry cereal, crackers, and toast are great things to keep around - keep a small baggie in your purse, in the car, on your desk, and by your bed. Exercise also helps, but not within an hour of eating a meal. Try not to lie down within thirty minutes of a meal, either. Avoid fatty foods for the most part, especially around the times you experience morning sickness. Also, try to avoid the heat or a warm, stuffy room as much as possible, as it can be a trigger for nausea.
Keep fluids in you as much as possible. If you are getting dehydrated, make sure you have Gatorade on hand - a "light" flavor you can stomach, such a blueberry, rather than a citrus flavor.
If it gets to be too much, speak to your doctor about getting a prescription for an anti-nausea medicine safe for pregnancy. A great page of information for morning sickness causes, concerns, and tips is here (http://www.babycenter.com/morning-sickness?showAll=true). I hope this helps you out a little!
