Mind = blown

Bye bye morning sickness! Anyone hear of Sea bands before? Well, I'd never heard of them before till yesterday when my mother in law suggested them. They are just wristbands you put on your wrists that work kind of like acupuncture and hit a trigger that helps with nausea. I guess people use them for sea sickness as well.

 

I bought them today and tried them before I got in the car ( I get really nauseated with motion) and TA DA! Huge improvement! Anyone try these or have heard of them before!? I think they just change my world!

  • I've heard of them.. my mom used them on a cruise. However, I never thought about them being effective with morning sickness. Good to know!

  • I used them on a cruise before and they worked wonders! Just a word of warning.. I fell asleep with them on one night and when I woke up in the morning, both my hands were tingling and swollen!

  • My doctor hands them out. I haven't tried them but good to know thanks! 

     

  • My OB class in nursing school (taught by a midwife) mentioned them as being really effective. Glad to hear they are working for you. I will def buy some if I get hit with MS. 
  • Wow, where can you get these from? I have all day sickness.
  • I might have to look into these. My ms isn't horrid yet, but I'm getting super carsick every time I'm in the car; even when I'm driving! It's ridiculous.

    Precisely how I felt! It's only day 1 of trying them but I think it's worth a shot. They're only like 7 bucks a pair at Target.

  • I have them. They help me for about a week and then not so much. They're also not enough for me by themselves.

    I got some from Wal-mart. I think you can get them from most pharmacies too. They come in a small box so they can be hard to miss, but should be in with other motion sickness medications.

  • I've heard of them.  I've had several friends use them for morning sickness.  So I got myself a pair from CVS.  I put them on at the first sign of nausea.
