These I've been considering grabbing & trying out, they're fairly inexpensive & available almost everywhere -- I just have had not-so-much luck with some all natural stuff in the past, so therefore was semi-skeptical about these.
I mean just for the factor alone they're called 'preggie pops' makes me wanna get them, lol, but I wanted to see if any of you on here have given them a whirl, and if they actually helped soothe you?
Thanks!
Re: Preggie Pops? Anyone tried 'em?
I loved preggie pops in my last pregnancy. I heard Jolly Ranchers are a cheaper alternative (though not "natural"), so I bought a giant bag when I started to get a little barfy this time.
Not. The. Same.
I will be buying the biggest box of preggie pop drops I can get my hands on. Totally worth the extra $$$.
LOL. Thank you for your honesty - because I've had a lot of Jolly Rancher recommendations, but they're typically way to bitter for me on a NON pregnant day so I'm imagining they wouldn't be my favorite now. I don't even care if they taste great, I'm just a total puke-o-phobe (literally it's called 'emetophobia') and I have a whole anxiety disorder over it. I have not thrown up since I was 12, even with my past two pregnancies. So the thought of it makes me super nervous!
I know that it sounds silly, but I just want to see what works for people & try it out, and these Preggie Pops sound promising!
Thanks again.
No problem. I totally get the anxiety thing. I heave so hard that I am nervous I will give myself a stroke/aneurysm. Plus, I have braces (I get them off in 4 weeks-- thank goodness. I'm in my mid-20s. I don't want to look "Teen Mom."), and I'm afraid the acid will rot my teeth out around the brackets.
It's a legitimate fear.

I am so excited to meet another emetophobe on this board, you have no idea.
I thought me coming to a pregnancy forum (let alone the first trimester board) complaining about nausea and vomitting would make me seem silly!
I know it's highly unrealistic and not true or logical but I just tell myself "you're not going to throw up, you've gone 12 years without doing it, and had 2 pregnancies without MS, you'll be FINE don't psych yourself out"
But self-talk only goes so far.
DH is out looking for the preggie pops now and I hope he comes home with them to ease my mind -- and stomach, if necessary. *Knock on wood.*
Like everything I try for morning sickness, they worked for me 3-5 times. After that, I start associating them with being sick and the thought/taste is intolerable. So weird. It was worth it for a bit of relief though. Hoping that they'll work again after a break.
