Mint is good for general stomach upset. Try making yourself some peppermint tea. For some women though it may make their upset even worse.
Ginger also works well. You can eat ginger snaps or drink ginger ale. I recommend drinking ginger tea.
You can also try papaya enzyme.
If you feel a bout of nausea coming on, take a lemon and slice it and smell the lemon. It helps to make you feel better.
A friend of mine told me the best cure that she uses when she is sick with pregnancy. Before she goes to bed at night, she takes a half of a Unisom. She wakes up the next morning with no sickness.
My personal favorite tip to treat morning sickness is papaya enzymes, but however, my doctor told me if that didn't work, to drink lemonade (raspberry lemonade works great), or even (gross) potato chips. Somehow potato chips and their grease helps the nausea (never tried it though).

I didn't want to take any meds during pregnancy so I tried EVERYTHING!!!! Nothing seemed to work. One day I tried eating almonds and it worked. Every time I felt a bout of nausea coming on I only had to eat a couple and I felt great. They are healthy too! Another good tip is to reduce stress by walking and get tons of sleep (if you can)
