Preggie pops?

So are these as magical as they say or a waste of money? I'm willing to pretty much do anything to get rid of this perma hang over they call morning sickness

I will be following this thread to see what people say!

Good to know. Thanks, ladies!

I got an organic lollipop version with a less vomity name, and they're great. I'll take a pic of the packaging when I get home.

I tried my first one today. I liked the flavor ok, but I don't think it did any thing that a regular lollypop or hard candy would do.

I love them! My midwife said they have extra b vitamins in them but said if I got a b complex vitamin, that'd help too. I'm going to switch to jolly ranchers I think, they're cheaper

I liked only a few of them. The lavender made my morning sickness worse

Tried it, they didn't help me.  I ended up taking zofran if I was still throwing up by the afternoon and phenergan if that didn't work.  Phenergan always worked.

Another thing that really helped was eating more protein.  It was hard because I really couldn't stand the smell of meat, but I found if I ate more protein I didn't get as sick.  My sugar was really low also so I think the protein was balancing out my sugar level.

Lifesavers, or a simliar hard candy has the same effect (or for some no effect at all).

I have them and they aren't terrible. They taste just like a regular sour hard candy and they don't really help. But if the nausea isn't too bad then they do help a little since there is constantly something in your mouth. Otherwise they are kinda a waste.

I bought some this week and they haven't really helped me.

I've heard that the vitamin C drops are great. Also Sprouts has some great organic lollipops and they are small. Like 5/$1! I plan to get some of those

Total waste, you can get hard ginger candies on Amazon for way cheaper.

These are the kind that I like. They taste good, and were $2.99 for a pack of 14.

Are these the ones with flavors like pomegranate, cherry ect. These look just like the ones I mentioned

I got these at Babies R Us. They've got peach, pomegranate, watermelon. It's about the perfect size for my commute, which is when I seem to feel the ickiest.

I'm actually using sugar free life savers (the fruity kind) and they are working great!

I've been using the Preggie Pops. I don't know whether they help for sure but I do feel better. Honestly even if it is psychological, I'm so desperate at this point I will do anything to feel better. I suck on them and I don't feel as bad - I'll take it!!!

I highly suggest taking vitamin B6. The "magic" ingredients in those things are B6 and ginger. My OB suggested 25mg of B6 3 times a day. It helped decrease the intensity of nausea last time. And I've started it this time and it's def helping.

As for candies, lemon drops worked best for me. The lemon juice/citric acid helps. And ginger gum. I never tried the ginger candies
