If you wake up feeling nauseatic then it is good to keep a bland snack like a cracker handy. This will immediately reduce the sensation and will help you to get back to sleep.
Sleep Position
The tender breasts and the growing stomach might make it difficult to find a comfortable sleeping position at night. Sleep on one side and use a lot of pillows to support your back and your stomach.
