Jolly Ranchers are my new BFF

One of you ladies suggested hard candy for my morning sickness. So-- I picked up a bag of Jolly Ranchers to take to work, and let me tell you, they worked pretty good!

Right when my nausea started up, I started sucking on them, and it really calmed it down. Thanks to whomever suggested it!

Oh yes.  I especially like the apple ones since the sour taste really helps me.

I was addicted to the green apple ones when I was pregnant with my 1st. This pregnancy I've tried sour patch kids but they don't work as well.

I also tried some sour patch kids, but like you said-- they don't work all that well. Tasty, though!

I have found the watermelon flavored JR's are the best for my m/s. The grape ones upset my stomach a little.

My mouth started watering as soon as I read the title. I need to pick some up. I tried the lemod drop candies, but they didn't work

Get the big bag!  I also like to eat them while I'm driving in traffic.
1.) It keeps my mind off the traffic

2.) It curves my nausea until I get home

I agree.  The watermelon ones are the best!

I can't stand watermelon-flavored anything unless it's an actual slice of watermelon.  I hate buying regular bags of some candies because of it and only a few places ever have those giant, single-flavor JR bars.  I always end up accidentally popping a watermelon in my mouth!

Does the grape always upset your stomach or just while pg?  Some grape-flavored candy and soda gives me really bad headaches if I have more than a tiny bit.  It's happened my whole life.

Apple and watermelon Jolly Ranchers saved me during my pregnancy with DD. I had horrible morning sickness until 18 weeks with her.

I am going to have to take advantage of this.  It seems instead of feeling better at almost 10 weeks, I'm feeling much more nauseated and it's quite awful.

I made the mistake of buying the sugar free jolly ranchers.  They helped at first but too many gave me diarrhea and a headache.

Great idea! Soon as they ice melts so the roads are safe I'll be headed to the store to get some. Thanks for sharing!

Only while pregnant. It wasn't like that with DS, but is with this one.

It's funny that I see this today because my mom was just telling me yesterday that I ought to suck on hard candy to help with my nausea.

I've been alternating between Jolly Ranchers and Werther's Originals.  I like the Werther's better.  For me, it is mostly motion sickness.  So I keep them in my bag for the ride to/from work.
