Sea Bands

mish219

Anyone try them for nausea? I havent done too much research on them or seen them much on M/S or nausea posts but my mom bought them for me and I'm giving them a try. This is my second day and I have to say I woke up feeling better this morning, not 100% but pretty freaking good compared to how I have been feeling. The little ball on them can be irritating but damn I'll put up with that over all day nausea!! B-)

What are sea bands?

They're the wrist bands people wear on like boats for sea sickness. They're for motion sickness or they say on the package pregnant women with morning sickness

Oh okay I don't have m/s but glad you found something that works for you!

I get motion sickness. I've tried the band and it didn't work for me unfortunately.

This for me too.  I get motion sickness all the time - cars, planes, trains, boats - I swear if I ran too fast I could probably bring it on!  I tried them once, along with Gravol and ginger chews, and it did not help.  I have wondered if it's a bit of a placebo effect.  Even if it is, if it helps, go for it!

I've thought about this... and I'm okay with it if thats all it is too.. if it works I'm sticking to it! lol

I tried them last time and they didn't work. I haven't had to pull them out this time, so I can't comment on them now. I did have a friend who swore by them.

They work pretty good for me. 5-10 min after I put them on I feel 10x better. I wear mine so long a couple times a week I get little bruises on the inside of my wrists because I sit at a desk all day. The bruises go away with in a day so it's pretty much worth it.

I got some the other day but haven't worn them long enough to notice a difference. They were really tight on my wrists, and SO obvious- I felt like I should just wear a sign that says "pregnant lady right here!"

Hahaha I feel like I'm pulling off the double sweatband just worked out super hard kind of look. I figure if anyone stares or questions my hormones will answer their question in the form of my nasty bitchy snap to tell them "I'm pregnant you got a problem?!"

I am OBSESSED with them and I even wear them at night.  They work like a charm for me!!!!!

I bought some today and felt like they helped a little, but we haven't announced ourselves yet, so I had to keep taking them off when I was around people I know. They are definitely obnoxious, but if they actually work, I won't care, at all!

I used them last pregnancy 24/7 for the first tri.  I had really bad nausea, they helped.

I have mixed feelings about mine- twice after putting then on I've felt awesome but the other times they haven't seemed to make a difference. Ginger tea seems to help for me. I also got the preggie pop drops which seem to make me more sick. Maybe I need to use them a few days first to see if they work?
