Hey there!

What you're experiencing is typically known as morning sickness, though as you've probably figured out, it's not just limited to the "mornings". It could happen at any time during the day, and luckily, there are a few "cures" and "remedies" you can try to see if it helps at all with the nausea. Here is like a list for you (I'll provide the link afterward):

• Ginger: You can use ginger in a variety of ways, but the most common use of ginger to treat morning sickness is ginger tea.

• Saltine Crackers: These are the crackers you use for soup and such like that. Pretty self-explanatory

• Eat small amounts of food frequently

• Avoid odors or smells that cause you to feel nauseous

• Acupressure bands: This is a form of accupuncture, just without the needles. The link can provide more information for you

I found out all this information here: http://endmorningsickness.org/morning-sickness-cures/

You can also use Google to search more ways to curing morning sickness.

Best of luck!
