How to escape from toxicosis during pregnancy or at least alleviate its symptoms?
Early toxicosis occurs in the first trimester of pregnancy and lasts up to 12-13 weeks.

In women, during pregnancy, the sense of smell is very exacerbated, and nausea can cause smells, so carry a handkerchief soaked in those smells that do not make you sick. Apply it to your face when you hear "unpleasant" smells for you. From the house just remove those objects, the smell of which irritates you.
