*The Morning-Sickness Battle*

whatwhatinthebutt

So, I thought we could start sharing our morning sickness tips since that time is just around the corner. I had Hypermesis last time and had to have a drip in my stomach and go to the ER once a week for fluids (not fun). However, I did find some things that helped me and thought I'd share - anyone else please share your tips oo.

I'm trying this too this time if I need it: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007XCTNVU/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_4?ie=UTF8&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER 

 Vitamin B6 (100-200mg) WITH Zinc (Otherwise it doesn't work)

Lots of fruits and veggies and easily digestible foods, water (I always felt better after getting my fluids and drinking water, but couldn't let it go too long)

Prenatal pops (you can buy them at babies r us and they come in organic now too)

I couldn't do the saltines in the morning becuase it was too dry and would make me gag. So I kept a tupperware of baby carrots and that helped me, then when I got a few of those down I'd try the saltines.

I heard smelling a freshly cut lemon helps.  Haven't tried it yet though.

Hmm, I'll keep it in mind. I love the smell of lemons so it can't hurt

Ginger. Ginger ale, ginger snaps, gingerbread. Thankfully tis the season. Has to be REAL ginger though. No artificial flavoring.

I had terrible morning sickness last time around... yuck! My OB reccomended a blue Unisom tablet before bed and then a B6 zinc twice during the day. It worked better than Zofran or at least I thought the side effects were easier to live with.

will add ginger root tea to this list. It worked better than ginger ale for me because it wasn't carbonated.

I had evening sickness (generally didn't feel well all day, but the puking part was largely in the evening) and actually lost weight while I was pregnant (not as glorious as it might seem).  We finally figured out that my problem was not standard nausea but was ongoing heartburn.  My OB finally let me go back on Pepcid Complete toward the end of my second trimester.  That really helped.  Tums was not doing anything for me.  My appetite didn't actually come back until my son was around 4 mos old.

same here with the appetite.

I heard flat coke helps, has anyone tried that?

I had to have a Coke every morning last time.  That was my only caffeine- unless you count chocolate.  It helped, but I didn't drink it flat.
