Safe Maternity Care
Many women ask whether ginger is safe and effective for pregnancy sickness.
While ginger is one of the most commonly used natural remedies for nausea and vomiting, it is important that women receive balanced, information before using any complementary therapy.
As midwives, our role is not simply to recommend or discourage a therapy. It is to help women understand the potential benefits, limitations and considerations so they can make informed decisions.
Natural does not automatically mean safe, and comprehensive knowledge, understanding and an ability to apply theory to practice should always guide our advice.
Safe maternity care starts with informed conversations.
