You are in Parenting and Pregnancy .
Many women suffer from morning sickness during their first trimester of pregnancy.
But hypnosis practitioners say they can easily banish this nausea with a little mind control. I immediately wondered if this was the way I was going to feel for the next nine months. Luckily for Karen, her hospital was also home to Eric P. Simon, PhD, a psychologist who specializes in medical hypnosis. Though it typically occurs only in the first trimester, it can last for the entire pregnancy in some women. But several studies suggest that hypnosis may be a more effective choice.
