I need ideas! The nausea wasn't this bad and didn't start this early with my first. I work full time so I need food and drinks that will help with nausea, besides ginger ale and ice lemon water. The thought of saltines makes me sick, what else can I snack on? I'm hungry every second!
Re: What do you eat and drink to help with your nausea?
i drink pineapple juice and carnation instant breakfast(tastes like chocolate milk!)
and I love animal crackers!
I find it really important to rotate. One week it's preggie pop drops, next eek jolly ranchers, next week pineapple, etc. after a week (or so) with one fix, I find it just starts making me sick and I can't imagine eating it anymore!
Also really really helpful to eat frequent, relatively high protein meals. I'm finding that I eat almost every two hours, lots of greek yogurt, fruit, a "lean pocket" etc. never a full meal, but almost never more than three hours in between meals.
Good luck! I was horrifically morning sick with my first, but have been much luckier this time around. I do remember how terribly depressing and isolating it was, though.
The normal "saltines and ginger ale" thing never worked for me. Saltines made me want to hurl, lol.
Coca-cola worked. Hard candy (especially if it's sour). I also liked popsicles or fruit (oranges, apples, etc).
I stay far, far away from bread, cheese and meat when I'm nauseous.

ooh popsicles and sour candies sound great! thanks
It's odd, but olives work for me. I've been so incredibly sick this time, but eating green olives seem to settle my stomach and get me past the bad times. Try giving in to whatever random craving comes to mind. Sometimes the weirdest things can do the trick.

I eat apple, food rich in starch and proteins, banana and I chew fresh mint or else will drink glass of mint tea!!From 8 weeks up until the day I had my baby I had terrible nausea. All day long. Worse in the evenings. I was treated by midwives - not an OBGYN. I tried EVERYTHING natural. Ginger, Vitamin B etc. Finally after losing almost 15 lbs in my first trimester I had to take more action.
My midwife prescribed "Zofran". It was a life saver - I could eat again and was getting healthy again.
If the natural things fail you like they did me, try Zofran.
