I have no direct experience with morning sickness, but I checked in
Jane Brody's Nutrition Book mostly to see if she mentions B-6.  She
doesn't, but for morning sickness she says," Although it's precise
cause is unknown, there is some indication that it's related to a
drop in blood sugar. Eating lots of small, protein-containing meals
throughout the day helps many women.  It's best not to let yourself
get too hungry. The time-honored remedy of eating dry crackers
immediately upon awakening - before you've even lifted your head off
the pillow - also helps.  PUT THE CRACKERS ON YOUR NIGHT TABLE BEFORE
YOU GO TO BED. Save your morning juice or fruit for the end of
breakfast.  Or have it at some other meal.  Also, give yourself extra
time to get ready in the morning, since the stress of rushing
contributes to the problem.  If you go to work, carry something with
you for a midmorning snack.  If your "morning sickness" strikes in the
evening, try the dry crackers routine or a substantial snack half
an hour before the expected onset."

I hope that helps.
