MORNING SICKNESS

* One reason for morning sickness is for your body to create a health environment for the fetus to grow. This is achieved by eliminating toxins dangerous to the unborn. Detoxification prior to pregnancy would be beneficial.

* One cause of morning sickness is your body has become too dehydrated and needs more moisture.
