Tip #5: Got Nausea? Get Spearmint Oil.

When it came to morning sickness I was exceptionally lucky. I heard that nausea with multiple birth pregnancies can be chronic and last the majority of the pregnancy however mine was only very limited. Aside from some smells (like raw onion and garlic) making me feel nauseous I only ever threw up once and that was after a dodgy pizza in Japan at 3 1/2 months. (They should stick to doing traditional foods which they do exceptionally well! I’d go back just for a culinary and cultural holiday, but the skiing was to die for too).

At the beautiful store Perfect Potion in Sydney I came across Spearmint Oil which when sniffed quelled my nausea to ‘trigger’ smells. It really took away the ewky feeling and reset my brain. Buy a bottle and keep it in your handbag…or ski jacket.

NOTE: Like any neat essential oil avoid getting it in direct contact with your skin. Do not buy Peppermint Oil as it is a uterine stimulant and could bring on contractions.
