1st Trimester

Preggie Pops? Anyone tried 'em?

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 just wanted to say hello to a fellow emetophobe! I have had the disorder for almost my entire life, and it made me super afraid to get pregnant in the first place! I haven't had any real nausea yet and really hope that I don't. I know a girl that used the preggie pops a few years ago and seemed to really like them, and if they are all natural, it can't hurt to try!


  • they are super expensive but you can buy regular all natural candies or hard candies and they do the same thing IMHO. Anything citrus helped me. I loved lemon hard candies  with my 2 previous babies

  • I've tried the Preggie Pops and they are okay.  Lemon Drops are cheaper and work even better for me :)

  • I had regular Preggie Pop Drops first, and they didn't do anything for me. The sweet taste made me feel sicker. BUT I tried the Preggie Pop Drops Plus, which have B6 in them, and they were like a miracle! Remember though that they don't really last past sucking the drop, meaning that once you are done, you probably will go right back to nauseous in an hour or so :(

  • 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.*

  • BartonBaby - You can get them at Wal-Mart, and I think Target, too. 11.94 for a box of lozenges or 15 something for the actual pops.

  • 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.
