Morning Sickness and Potato Chips

SallyAnneS

I might be the only person that didn't know this at the start of my pregnancy.  And so if that is true please ignore me.  But I didn't know that potato chips help with morning sickness until I was around 12 weeks pg.  I was at the OB office and DH was reading a brochure about m/s and told me that might help. 

And so, if you are having terrible "morning" sickness and haven't tried potato chips they might help you as well.  I found the plain ruffles were the best.  And I would eat them anytime I felt m/s coming on.  One night I was going out for a steak dinner and was feeling very ill.  1/2 bag of potato chips later and I felt better and was still able to eat my entire dinner. 

That is all.  I hope it helps someone.

On a very random whim yesterday I grabbed a bag of ruffles at the gas station yesterday. I was going on and on about how that was the best snack I've ever had, blah, blah. It's funny because I went to get a sprite because I was so sick and grabbed some chips as well and it really felt good on my stomach.

Thanks, I need to try it because this nausea is killing me. My RE also recommended ginger candy, it's like taffy. That's what has worked the best for me so far.

HI SallyAnne!  You're moving right along! YAY!

 Anyway, this is interesting.  I will keep that in mind for next time (HOPEFULLY)

Thanks for posting.  I haven't really had ms badly (just a little nauseous now and then), but throughout my whole pregnancy I've been craving potato chips.  Pre-preg I would NEVER eat chips . 

Two nights ago, DH made me a steak dinner.  I could only get half down.  Grabbed my potato chips and ate half the bag (yikes) and felt MUCH better.

I thought it was in my head!

Sadly Chips and FF have been my friend lately...one of my few friends... I know that the baby is getting what it needs from me right now, but sometimes I feel so bad that the only things I can eat are completely unhealthy...I used to eat so healthy prior to being pregnant.
