Morning Sickness. - Jacksonville,FL

Saltines
There are suckers you can get from the pharmacies. I just do not remember the name THEY WORK though.
Finding foods that do not make you ill is always a good thing the smell of PB&J was only thing that took my nausea away. If I could pierce my nose and hange a PB&J sandwich from my nose I would have.

Good Luck and Congrats.

morning sickness happens because your liver is discharging. consuming sugar products will make it worse, not even just temporarily while eating it. Sugar is really hard on the system, so don't eat anything with sugar in it any types of sugar. Also, keep away from refined foods, fatty foods. Eat simple, whole grains, fresh veg, a bit of fruit, drink water and get some umeboshi plums from Whole Foods and some kuzu root, search the internet for how to consume it, it is the healthiest way to clean out and feel well. If you're really desperate at a bit of boiled potato but not too much b/c too much is bad.

Good luck and congrats

If its' bad and home remedies don't work, ask for zofran or the generic ondansetron.

Be sure to snack on small things all day long that combine carbs/protein, such as cheese on crackers, peanut butter on celery with crackers, a handful of nuts. Avoid greasy foods, spicey foods, foods with strong scents.

Peppermint tea and red rasberry leaf tea can help. Ginger Ale, ginger snaps, ginger preggie pops can help. The sea sick wrists bracelet, or psi accupressure bands has helped some.

Here's some more ideas here:

I had morning sickness, the entire 9 months, 24 hours a day.. so yes, it isn't just in the morning for some people. Bless your heart and hang in there!

You will eventually find foods that you can eat that won't make you sick... my first pregnancy I could only eat tomato soup with cheese and crackers or black eyed peas, hard boiled eggs and avacados.

a few things I did that helped , and I too had all day sickness.
The only thing that didn't turn my stomach was spaghitti Os , weird yes but hey you eat what you can when you feel like that.
Eat before you get out of bed. have some saltine crackers and a capri sun waiting when you get up.
Suck on peppermints, the oil will help soothe your stomach.
Ginger tea helps, never could eat the crystallized ginger.

I took a liquid vitamin B complex and that calmed my stomach plus gives you the much need B vitamins you require for pregnancy. I got a pharmaceutical grade liquid but I also tried a liquid from the health food store. Mix with a little juice and drink it down. Coupled with all of these other great remedies suggested, you may be able to at least curb it a bit. Definitely don't take the whole prenatal in the morning - better to cut in half and take later in the day and evening. My Ob/Gyn suggested kid's vitamins - gentler - but they do not contain the iron you may need.
But even so - some women require anti-nausea medicines because the home remedies do not work. Hopefully you will not have to deal with that!

Check out homeopathy- for morning sickness I have seen these 2 work well-
Ipecac, and Nox Vomica.
best, k

I do not know why it's called "morning sickness" when indeed, it lasts all day. I am pregnant for the 4th time, and like you, this was totally unexpected and unplanned. This pregnancy has proven to be by far the worse of all 3 of my pregnancies put together. I am currently in my 15th week and the constant nausea (and vomiting) has been gone for about one week now. Everyone will suggest small snacks, a little of this, a little of that. The reality of that advice is that every woman experiences pregnancy sickness differently in that what may work for one woman one day may not work for that same woman tomorrow. At least that has been the case for me. My sense of smell throws everything out the window and I don't care how nutritious you tell me an apple is, if my sniffer doesn't approve, it isn't going past my lips. I have found that when I am very tired, the nausea creeps back. Several small meals/snacks may help....but not always. Find something that works, even if it changes by the hour and go with it. The best I can say is that it will begin to taper. You are working, presumably full time and I know how torturous it is to work and be sick like this. I was working full time when pregnant with my first born. I don't know how I got through it, but somehow I did. I've had food/smell aversions with ALL of my pregnancies and that also makes things challenging. It will get better, I promise! I've also found that the less fluids you take in, the worse the nausea gets. I've had an aversion to liquids with this pregnancy. Taking in ANY liquid has been torturous for me so I've gotten by for the past several weeks by sucking on ice chips, frozen fruit bars (popsicles), and having diluted grape juice. I'm over the hump so to speak so things have significantly improved and I thank God for that.

I was sick 24-7 for the entire 9 months. I had people telling me that I could take motion sickness pills etc... but for me...it wasn't worth the risk. There are people now that have cancers from things that their mother's took when they were pregnant in the 60s etc..
I found these things to work for me:
1) never wait too long to eat. Too hungry = vomit for sure for me.
2)saltines & goldfish crackers EVERYWHERE - so I could take a little nibble whenever I needed to.
3)grilled cheese tortillas. Whole wheat tortilla, spray a tiny bit on one side (olive oil or pam) put it in a flat pan, arrange some cheese on it, fold in 1/2, grill, flip, grill, slice & serve. Yummo!
4) SEA BANDS. You can find them in the pharmacy where they sell sea sickness pills. They are elastic wrist bands with a little button on the inside that puts acupressure to just the right place when worn correctly. SAVED MY LIFE.....if I took them off to shower - literally I almost couldn't get them back on fast enough.
Good luck! Remember it's only temporary ...even if it lasts the entire 9 months, it's not really a lifetime. Keep your eye on the prize and you'll get through it!

Ginger tea, ginger ale, and crackers...that was all I could keep down when I had morning sickness. I was lucky in that my morning sickness cleared up by 10 weeks...hope yours does, too!

I had 'all-day sickness' with my 2nd pregnancy as well. I drank sprite through out the day - it helped a lot. I normally do not drink sodas. I also had crackers -- i had to stay away from sweet foods - cause that aggrevated the nausea. My OB prescribed pre-natal vitamins with extra vitamin B6 - suppose to help with nausea. Eating oranges helped me as well. I was sick, nausea, most of my pregnancy-- vomiting stopped midway thru 2nd trimester.

I tried anti-nausea gum -- i worked for about a week. The Anti-nausea bands didnt work for me at all -- it made me worse -- but if u want to try it, i bought them at walgreens. Keep hydrated -- very important.
Hope it helps & congratulations!!!

Munch some saltines. Don't let your stomach get too empty. I think the suckers are called Preggo Pops (maybe?). Get up slowly out of bed in the a.m. and keep crackers near your bed and eat O. before you get out of bed.

eat. mine went away when i ate.

I was sooo sick for the entire pregnancy. I took Zofran cause it doesnt make you sleepy or have to be taken 45 mins before a meal. Other than that saltines, fishy crackers, carbs ( muffins, pasta), small meals, fruit for snack and Vernors ( Its a very bubbly and strong ginger ale compare to Canda Dry and in with the pepsi section. Publix usually carries it.), are the best i can suggest.
Avoid OJ, tomatoe stuff, spicy and peppers. They increase the acid in stomach and make morning sickness worse.

Unisom was suggested to me for my first pregnancy at bedtime but I hated the drugged feeling. Talk to your OB

The preggo pops and drops work great. But if you don't want to spend that much money, anything sour. I always had sliced up lemons in my fridge when I was pregnant. Even the smell would make me feel better. Lemon berry slushes from sonic were my favoriteeal when I couldn't eat anything. Also try making smoothies and you'll be able to get some nutrients.

I kept ginger snaps nearby. Didn't like them before I was pregnant, during pregnancy, and certainly not now. I was last pregnant 4 years ago and I dislike ginger snaps with everything in me. But they made the nausea go away quickly. i was sick 24-7 with my first though and nothing fixed that except the minute she was born. I hope it goes away for you!!

Vitamin B6.
Also try taking your prenatal before you go to bed. I would sick in the morning especially because that's when I took it. My ob recommended taking it at night to help.
Saltines, or other crackers you like. Lots of rest when you are able to.

I was at my wits end because of severe nausea and projectile vomiting up to 11 weeks of my pregnancy. Then, no to morning sickness tea eased it.
