Ginger works well for most (not all) people but it has to be REAL ginger -- hardly any ginger ales contain enough real ginger (most contain none!) to help much.
Three good sources of ginger: ginger tea if you like it, crystallized/candied ginger, and a hard candy called "Gin-Gins".
Also, if mornings are a bigger problem, have some ginger or crackers or whatever works for ya sitting on the night table and eat a little bit BEFORE sitting up, then lie/sit there for five or ten minutes before getting out of bed.
I think a lot of people make their morning sickness (what doofus named it *morning* sickness? I had it 24 hrs a day for most of my entire pregnancies) worse by following other peoples' prescriptions for what to eat and not eat. It is certainly worth trying peoples' recommendation but your d-i-l should remember to pay attention to what her body thinks about it and not persevere with something that's not helping or maybe making it worse.
Personally, I was best off eating a lot of spicy food (and Arby's 'Chicken Cordon Bleu' sandwiches, please don't judge me, I was PREGNANT dammit
) and just flat-out avoiding things that made me particularly nauseous (including most green veggies). Take a folic acid supplement, and a pregnancy-appropriate multivitamin if one is eating really weird, but remember that all of the complicated dicta about Thou Shalt Eat THus-And-Such-A-Way During Pregnancy are *almost* totally based on opinion and theory-of-the-day... in practice, as long as folic acid and vitamin intake are covered and you consume enough calories in the 2nd and 3rd trimesters there is really not much of a detectible effect (in research studies) of whatcha eat on how the baby does.
Oh and congrats to your d-i-l
Pat, kind of sad not to be gonna having any more kids, although personally I *loathed* all parts of pregnancy except feeling the baby moving around
