I'm pregnant and I have really bad hyperemesis (or morning sickness, if you rather) and the doctor is convinced that it's not going to go away.
Right now, he has me on a pill to keep my stomach settled, but it's not so nice to me. It makes me restless and fidgetty, tired and sleepy, and whenever I wake up after taking it, I feel like a have a hangover.
Does anyone know about anything better for nausea? I could really use the help.

I could really use the help. Ginger and peppermint, along with plain, unsalted "saltine" crackers. Mint tea, sipped all day long, will both help combat nausea and encourage food to stay down. But honestly... very little will make it go ALL the way away, except time and patience.

Pregnant women should always follow guidelines for clove use. In some cases it can cause irritation and it is not known if clove has any harmful effects on the baby.
I agree with the other girls,
Peppermint is considered generally safe and is not only an antispasmodic (reduces stomach spasms) but also a mild analgesic. Ginger is similarly beneficial.
Red Raspberry leaf is also HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, as it is believed to assist in the strength of contractions during delivery. Check with your doctor before beginning a regimen of any of these herbs, especially raspberry which should be taken for several weeks prior to delivery.
Best wishes on a safe and healthy pregnancy

IN general, raspberry is for use in the last trimester. ^^

Just make sure you are careful! You are pregnant so you have to be extra careful. Too much ginger isn't always good! You should look to see a naturalist if you have one near you!!

This is late, but hey... "Why Not?" (shameless promotion)
I, a young gentleman approaching 19, have another idea~!
Part of the morning sickness is brought on by blood-sugar levels... specifically low blood-sugar. By waking up a few times in the night, to have a little something sweet, you should be able to dodge the problem a bit more... as well as eating lots of complex carbohydrates (whole grain is best ^_^).
I understand if the idea of waking up is not big on your list... but by ingesting complex carbohydrates at lunch and/or a little later in the day (but before dinner/supper) you should be able t avoid the worst of it.
I say lunch or a little later because if it is in your stomach when you go to sleep, it will just sit there through the night, instead of proper digestion. If you have food in your stomach when you go to sleep, I'd say you are more likely to get sick as a result.
So yes... as a recap...
Something small, but sweet if you are willing to wake up at odd hours to avoid the morning trauma...
Whole-grain foods in the middle of the day (really any complex carbs... I'm thinking along the lines of pasta, but any thing should be fine (starches should work for this... so potatos and rice, et cetera)).
And plenty of fluids to keep the body functioning properly.

That's true, very much so. Especially since during pregnancy, your insulin levels fluctuate pretty majorly.
