Kind Words for Morning Sickness

Morning sickness is definitely not something that makes you feel good. So, here are a few things that are sure to put a smile on any pregnant woman's face or at least make them feel a little better.

What to Say

• Can I get you anything?

• Maybe you should rest.

• Take it easy/take a break.

• Go for a walk.

• You'll feel better soon.

What NOT to Say

• It's all in your head.
