Preggie/Queasy Pops

I am having a heck of a time with morning sickness and all the norms (crackers, rice, 7up, ginger) aren't working.  Has anyone had any luck with Preggie or Queasy Pops?  Any other suggestions?

 

Thanks!

    The afternoon is the worst from me, when I get home from work I have found that watermelon - cold and juicy seems to setle me a bit and popsicles in general - cold seems to help me

  • I have used home made apple juice popsicles.  I thought about trying gingerale ones, but I think it'd go flat and be gross.  Good luck!

  • Try watermelon. I was sick for the first 16 weeks and honestly watermelon was the only thing that seemed to help.
  • The preggie pop drops work for me when i'm driving in the car to work and can't eat. I even gave my husband one when he was hungover and nauseated! Haha
  • Where can I buy these preggie pop things? What is it like? Flavor?

  • I got mine at Babies R us. They're little sour candies that come in a few flavors such as raspberry, lemon and apple.
  • I bought some preggie pops.  They taste like a sucker.  Watermelon has helped me get through the work day.

  • Preggy pops are just candies.  I'm sure they do work, but mostly it's because you're sucking on them and because they're sour.  I bought 3 packs of Jolly Ranchers today (since I only like 2 flavors) and they work just as well.  I've also heard that cold watermelon works as pp said.  I also am using "Sea Bands" which are a pressure point wrist band thing for motion sickness but they seem to help and you can buy them at any drugstore.  Yes gingerale will go flat if you freeze it.  I used to try to make pepsi popsicles as a kid, it did not go well.  Anyway good luck, we're all there!
  • Oh, and for the ladies who don't have a Babies R Us you can still order online from them or a couple different sources and get the Preggy Pops if you choose to get those specifically.
  • I tried the preggie pops and it made me feel great as long as I was eating one. It was very short lived. Try Sea Bands, I wish I would have started off with those because they helped A LOT!

  • They worked for me until I started to associate them with being sick.  I had better luck with jolly ranchers like pp said and regular starlight mints.  I wouldn't but them again.

  • I like the preggie pop drops. The tangerine usually fixes me for a while and it lasts for a little while after I'm done.
  • I loved the preggie pop drops. I had been eating lemon heads like crazy, but all the sugar was making me more sick. I like the drops because they were way more sour than regular sour candies and they had the same level of sourness throughout, if that makes sense. They didn't start out sour and then turn sweet at the end. And they were delicious!

  • motherhood maternity or usually any maternity/baby store will carry those preggy pops or candies used for the same purpose.

  • Sour Jolly Ranchers helped just as much and were about 1/4 the cost.

  • The preggie pops helped a little, but watermelon has been a miracle food for me.

     I used to live in Indiana, as as I recall there is one in Ft Wayne.
