is ginger root safe to take??

Ch
im currently 3 weeks and 6 days. i only found out that im pregnant 3 days ago (Sunday), and yesterday and today my nausea and morning sickness have been HORRIBLE. i was scheduled to work a short shift today, 5-10pm, and i had to call in. i was wondering if it's safe to take ginger root or what other stuff i can take for it? i drink ginger ale and that helps a little but i cant drink much of it. my Vitamin Code RAW prenatals have ginger in them, they were recommended to me but i think they're really hard to swallow and i dont really have anything to mix them into so i sometimes struggle with taking them. i really need something that's going to help with the nausea/sickness. i also have the flu as well which isnt helping so anything anyone could recommend for that would be great, im already on Delsym. just feel so ill and crappy already and cant miss anymore time off work seeing as i only started a few weeks ago!😫😪
