Well, I googled ginger root capsules, and everything I read seemed to point to them as a great cure for morning sickness. Based on that, I would say, use away, sister!

i used to eat ginger cookies every morning when i was pregnant and it really helped me feel a little less nauseous, never took it in pill for though

I got the preggie pop drops from Babies"R"Us, and they took the edge off for me. They also contain ginger. It is also a good idea to have a can of warm clear soda, or other clear carbonated drink at your bedside, along with some crackers, or a piece of bread. I will be 37 weeks on thursday and this worked wonders for me with both my daughter and this pregnancy.

also vitamin b6 can help with nausea.

my nausea never got really bad and I was taking ginger tablets from my acupuncturist. I didn't even know they helped nausea until she told me later. Also I found Perrier to work wonders on my tummy. I'd drink it plain (I got the lime flavored) on ice or mixed it with a splash of fruit juice.
