Is morning sickness hereditary?
Morning sickness is not yet proven to be hereditary. It occurs on an individual basis depending on your own body chemistry. It also occurs sooner and is more severe in women who are pregnant with multiples.
However, a study published in October 2010 in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology by researchers at UCLA and USC indicates that "familial aggregation" is present for extreme morning sickness, known as "Hyperemesis Gravidarum". Women with HG were at least 5 times as likely as control subjects to have a sister with either severe morning sickness or the more extreme HG. A woman with a sister having HG was 17 times as likely to have HG. Further, one third of women with HG reported a mother with HG--about four times more often than the control group.

What helps with morning sickness?
I am now 37 weeks pregnant and had horrible morning sickness. I tried the crackers and dry, bland foods everyone swore by but the truth is, if it's going to come up there's not much you can do to stop it. In fact, soda crackers were the first thing I threw up and it all went down hill from there. But I did find that my body didn't really want to throw up milk. Cheese and yogurt rotted my stomache, but milk seemed alright. Ginger teas do help calm the stomach and if you can manage to keep it down, gravol is safe for pregnancy. There's another remedy that won't make you sleepy, or sleepier than you already are, and that's ginger root pills. Your doctor may prescribe you Diclectin. It was a god send for the first bit, but your body does eventually try to fight it. There is another solution that worked like a charm everytime, though it is quite controversial. You have to decide whether or not you feel it is right for you. I have many friends who swore by it and I tried it myself, finding it workes the best. If you smoke a little bit of marijuana, it really helps the nausea and increases your appetite. One or two puffs should be do you just fine. I'm not saying go out and buy a garbage bag full of pot to smoke, but in small doses like that, it poses little to no threat to the baby but some women aren't comfortable with it. Like everything else in pregnancy, you have to find what works best for you. Everyone will give you advice and there's nothing wrong with listening and trying, but remember that it's your body and your baby. Some people get very pushy. Good luck
What can you do to cure morning sickness?
Ginger helps relieve nausea. Many women sip ginger ale or eat Ginger Snap cookies. If you do not like the taste of Ginger Snaps, buy ground ginger and put in your food when you are cooking, or you can fill gelatin capsules (get them at the drug store) with ground ginger and take like medicine (check with your doctor to be sure it is okay for you). There are also Ginger candies (often found in Asian markets) and Crystallized ginger in the spice section of the grocery store to eat like candy. Some women say that even just sniffing fresh ginger slices helps.
Chicken stock or broth can be made or bought canned and add quarter sized pieces of fresh ginger (start with four quarter sized round slices and then adjust by taste for more or less ginger flavor) and simmer the broth until the ginger slices have turned a darker color. You may also want to add some lemon grass stems for more flavor. Make this ahead and freeze in ice cube trays so you can make a cup in the microwave with one or two cubes whenever you feel the nausea.
If you like sweeter things, then make ginger tea with water and ginger slices plus honey (or sweetener or sugar) and a twist of lemon to sip. It can also be made ahead and kept in refrigerator to sip cold or reheat in the microwave. Honey is fine for moms-to-be to eat, you have developed the antibodies that are needed to be able to safely eat honey, but it is not something to give a child until at least one year old. Your unborn baby will not be harmed if you eat honey.
Heartburn and indigestion occurs generally in the first trimester and the last trimester. It's very common. The best thing you can do is to start eating smaller/lighter meals and not lie down for at least a half hour after eating, keeping head up on two pillows instead of flat. Many doctors recommend Tums to relieve acid indigestion. Or you could try some of the products for nausea that contain ginger, like Gingera. Ginger has known to help relieve the nausea and indigestion from morning sickness and indigestion in pregnancy, plus motion sickness and sea sickness. There are also wrist bands for sea sickness that use acupressure to stop nausea that many pregnant women have found helpful. Sniff or suck on a slice of lemon or eat soda crackers or saltines to help keep your blood sugar from being too low. Other foods many women suggest are: salty potato chips, pretzels, Popsicles, gelatin desserts, watermelon, sips of lemonade.
If you let foods cool from cooking temperatures to room temperature before serving, since foods have less aroma at that temperature than when hot.
See the related question below: "Why does eating a protein meal late at night prevent morning sickness?" Other contributors have said:
* There is always the "eat crackers before you get out of bed" thing. For me this did not work. I wore sea bands for most of my pregnancy and they worked pretty well. You can buy them in just about any drug store where they have motion sickness medicine. They are little stretchy bands with little plastic balls on them that you wear on your wrists. The little ball pushes something in your wrist that short circuits the message to your brain to be sick. They work really well. Other things that helped me were sucking on lemon slices (sounds awful, but really helps!) and eating dry Cheerios. I kept Cheerios next to my bed for months. Also try to eat them right before you go to sleep and if you get up during the night, try to eat a handful. This almost always prevented sickness the next morning. * Although they taste sour and not sweet, lemons actually have more sugar than many other sweeter tasting fruits. The sweet flavored foods often add to nausea in morning sickness, so that is why lemons can work so well. Some women find salty flavored foods are better. Cheerios, like saltine crackers, are another source of a fast acting carbohydrate that converts quickly in your body to raise your blood sugar, but does not taste too sweet. See the related question below about proteins and morning sickness.
* Many moms swear that ginger helps alleviate the nausea that comes with pregnancy. Eat anything with ginger in it, such as ginger cookies, hard ginger candy or crystallized ginger. Drinking ginger tea is also great, calming your stomach naturally. Just break a piece of fresh ginger root, grate and put in hot water. There are also ginger capsules sold today. Check with your doctor first to be sure that taking this supplement is okay for you. == == * Morning sickness can be prevented by eating plain crackers before even sitting up in bed. Crystallized ginger pieces are good to keep in your hand bag to prevent nausea, as a handy snack. Ginger tea and honey is also very effective. * If you dwell on the fact that you feel ill, you will continue to feel that way, try to distract yourself from it. * Avoid being at your PC for too long, the refresh flicker on the screen is known to cause morning sickness in some people. * Try yogurt, ice cream, apple sauce, and baked potatoes which are also great options. * If you don't like ginger, try a little apple cider vinegar in water with a little honey. This is also very effective. * Saltine crackers and 7-up. Leave some on the bedside table and nibble a few before you even get up. * I found ginger very effective, either plain ginger or ginger beer. A proper one though not ginger flavor soda.

How get rid of feeling sick during pregnancy?
It's difficult, I know. I tried all sorts of things. I found sipping flat coke helped, and
taking lots of little drinks of water, and not getting up too quickly, and having a biscuit(UK) cracker(US) by the bed to eat before getting up all useful.
For most women, it gets better by weeks 12-14 (it was week 14 with me) but for some unlucky women it goes on longer. It is a horrible symptom.
Take lots of rest, make sure that you don't have an empty stomach if possible as that makes it worse.
Just eat what you can face until this stage passes, which hopefully it will soon. Make sure that you drink fluids so that you don't get dehydrated.
Wish you better soon.

After ten years of depo can you get pregnant?
Yes, but your actual fertility is unpredictable. Depo-provera or medroxyprogeterone acetate is an injectable progesterone. Each shot is roughly effective for 3 months. Depo-provera prevents the proliferation of your endometrium (the lining of your uterus) which means that your periods may become lighter or stop altogether. However, this is not a permenant change. Eventually, the levels of depo-provera will drop no matter how long you have been on it and you will be able to get pregnant again. This is preventable by continuing to receive shots at a regular 3 month interval. As with any form of contraception, it is not 100% effective so it is important to remember that you could become pregnant at anytime although it is unlikely.
