22 Morning Sickness Gift Ideas

The smartest morning sickness tips lean heavily towards strategies revolving around staying hydrated and fed with food specifically chosen for morning sickness relief.

Gummy Prenatal Vitamins

Believe it or not, traditional prenatal vitamins can trigger the gag reflex and lead to vomiting. If this is the case, a perfect gift is a bottle of gummy prenatal vitamins for her to try. This prenatal vitamin alternative is a great solution when going through the roughest parts of “morning sickness”.

Morning Sickness Drinks for a Gift Basket

Vomiting due to morning sickness leads to dehydration, which ironically will make her feel more nauseous. It’s a vicious cycle. Therefore, morning sickness gifts that encourage hydration are a perfect choice. Here are a few of my favorite gifts to keep her hydrated!

Water Bottle

Of course, any water bottle will do, but it’s a sweet gesture to give her the water bottle she has her eye on. Currently, Stanleys are all the rage! Figure out her favorite color and give it as the perfect morning sickness gift.

Morning Sickness Snacks for a Gift Basket

Having the right snacks ready to go is an important strategy for combating the symptoms of morning sickness. Eating foods high in protein and nutrients is the goal, but sometimes bland carbohydrates are the onramp to get to that point. Here are some foods that other parents found helpful during the first trimester.

Peanut Butter + Pretzels/Crackers

These peanut butter crackers are tasty and handy, but any form of nut butter and a pretzel or cracker does just fine too. Some find the individual squeeze packs of peanut butter (below) to be the perfect solution.
