Suggestions for nausea?

mlasenburg

I'm 6 weeks & my nausea is so strong. The only time I feel relief is when I'm asleep. I've been drinking lots of water & eating small, bland meals. It's making it hard for me to function during the day. Any tried & true relief that had worked for you mamas? Thanks!

Call your doctor and ask them to prescribe diclegis.

Peppermint helps me, but mine hasn't been too unbearable.

Yeah, it might be time for some meds. Vitamin B6 is useful for nausea and if that doesn't help you can add Unisom.

I'm six weeks too. Here's what has helped me:

-Praying and having the faith that it will leave. 

-Eating saltine crackers between meals.

-Sour Cherry Jolly Ranchers

-Lemon Water works as well!

I hope you feel better! I have a new found respect for women who have been pregnant! Lol

Vitamin B6. My OB recommended it on Thursday as I'm throwing up 3-4x per day. I take 100mg every morning. Today was my third day and I haven't thrown up at all today!!! The nausea is still there sometimes but it's majorly taken the edge off!

Thank you guys so much! I'm sending my husband to the pharmacy now!

Non-medical suggestion--crystallized ginger. It tastes awful but helps me. Or ginger capsules.

I'm in the same boat! Nauseous from 1-2 hours after I wake up until the time I go to sleep! I tried the Jolly Ranchers today, and they seem to help. But I can't have them while I'm at work, so a friend suggested the diclegis. It might be the best route!

Unisom and B6 = Magic

Peppermint helps me. I haven't had to this pregnancy, but last time I used Sea Bands for acupressure and that helped, too.

I second the suggestion for meds if you can't function. I got Zofran last week and it's such a relief to have it if needed.

@AlandkeriA ever since I saw jolly ranchers on your post I've been craving them. Just got them tonight and it is soooo good for my nausea right now. Who would have thought?! 

AlandkeriA

@marymoore711 I know right? Jolly Ranchers were my favorite candy anyway before I was pregnant. So I just find them to be great for nausea too.

Have you had your first appt yet? My appt is march 2 & I want sure if I could get anything before they see me. Thanks!

In the same boat over here! Nonalcoholic ginger beer really helps calm my nauseousness. It has a strong ginger taste without the bitterness of crystallized ginger It does have a pretty high sugar content though, so I just sip on it throughout the day. (And of course make sure to double-check that you get a nonalcoholic kind!)

These things have saved my freaking life!!!! I picked mine up at the Motherhood Maternity store, but it think you can get them at target and or order from amazon. I don't know what the science is behind these things, but it is immediate relief.

I second this. However, don't eat too many. They will make your tongue crack and peel.

I was gonna get these last pregnancy but they were so expensive at our grocery store And also, crazy that it can do that to your tongue!! Good info if I decide to try them out this time around tho

This is my second pregnancy and I having horrendous nausea  (I don't even use the term morning sickness anymore bc it's laughable! ) last pregnancy my doc prescribed doc legislation and it was instant relief...never had even a moment of nausea after tgat!

I have my appointment this Thursday and will definitely be asking for a refill!

So i've had REALLY bad nausea as well. On Saturday I forgot to take my prenatal and realized I actually ate a full meal at dinner. On Sunday after I took iy, it got bad again. So on Monday I didn't take the prenatal again and realized I felt slightly better. I've decided to switch prenatal vitamins. They will be coming today. 

Also, sparkling water with a little bit if lime or lemon. Really helps! 
I also find cold fruits really help. I got some watermelon and pineapple and I love it!

Things that helped me:
Switch to a chewable vitamin with less iron during the first trimester. 

Protein. The more meat I eat, the less sick I feel. It's hard to make myself eat it, but I am like a new woman when I have protein, and cheeseburgers are currently my drug of choice haha.

Ginger ale.

Eating cereal in the middle of the night (if I happen to wake up and feel hungry).
