Morning Sickness

Blackmores Morning Sickness Tablets worked for me as did Seabands for a few weeks.

OR, you could use the time you took to write that, to say something constructive instead.    Sure, topics are rehashed all the time, sometimes there are fresh ideas and perspectives each time it's done.

Anyway, a combination of blackmores morning sickness pills and seabands helped me a lot.   Along with bland food, salty crackers, eating little and often and having a little snack before bedtime and as soon as I woke up. It can differ for everyone though, during my last pregnancy I drank litres and litres of milk because it was the only thing that made me feel better.

Keeping hydrated and eating lemonade iceblocks can sometimes keep that gaggy feeling at bay.

Acupuncture worked briefly for me

I have a novel thing that worked....only in first pregnancy though

Wake up, feel sick, screw eating anything, go to toilet, stick fingers down throat, hurl, wipe face, feel much better & then repeat the next morning & the next morning ......... counteracted scoffing whopper burgers which also helped.

I found eating small amounts and regularly helped me. Also Ginger and B6 worked well. On my really bad days I had Maxalon, which often made me feel worse

Yea, vomiting first thing in the morning helped me, but it always just happened. I got up and went about my day (sometimes gagging before I even got out of bed, often in the shower, or straight out of the shower). I wouldn't eat anything at all until I'd gagged and vomited, because it was so much easier.

Actually vomitting helped me too - most days. I can't remember whether I read the suggestion on here but I would sometimes have a nice big glass of room temp water as soon as I woke up because at least then I had something to throw up (and it didn't hurt as much as just throwing up bile).

Eating little and often made things slightly more bearable here. And later (once it had mostly subsided) I used Blackmores tablets and seabands for a notoriously bad ferry crossing and only felt a *tiny* bit sick. So would recommend giving those a try too

I had a wonderful drug called Zofran which was the only thing that helped with Jake. This time round I've found lots of sleep and lots of water has helped. Can't keep the blackmores tabs down ATM so while I have them I haven't had a chance to see how they work. I have one seaband (found the other one yet Kel?? LOL) and that helps with the nausea. Sometimes chucking it all up helps but then other days the early vomit only sets me up for a days worth of it (like today ). Can't wait til it goes away completely!!!
