"Morning sickness" refers nausea or vomiting in pregnancy - which may occur at any time of the day. It is usually worse during the first trimester, sometimes extending into second trimester. Chinese medicine sees pregnancy as an altered state, and special requirements for the mother and baby need to be accounted for during this time.

My boyfriend is originally from Spain, and he is also a wonderful cook, so when the Summer comes, I beg for him to make me his Gazpacho.
Gazpacho is a refreshingly cool Spanish soup and the first time I tried it, I was hooked! My boyfriend's family typically eat gazpacho in the morning and call it their 'rocket fuel' - and it certainly is nutritious fuel for your body!
Gazpacho is high in antioxidants and is wonderful for your blood pressure, eye health, protection against cancers (such as prostate cancer) and has anti-inflammatory and anti-aging properties!
Just thinking about it now makes me want some!
