No Skipping On Breakfast

This 1959 ad was about Mornidine, a medicine that helped pregnant women get rid of morning sickness. The idea of the ad revolves around the 19th-century notion that women function best when they are in the domestic sphere. So, true womanhood rested in cooking food uninterruptedly while expecting a child.

Women can be bothered by morning sickness in pregnancy, but its reasons may vary. It may be due to low blood sugar or the surge in pregnancy hormones, such as estrogen or human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG). Morning sickness can even be made worse by being overtired, stress, having sensitivity to motion, or eating certain foods.
