can i take anything for morning sickness/nausea?

abig · March 2009

this morning sickness really isn't fun. ?i haven't actually thrown up but maybe i should, and maybe it'll make me feel better. ?they say to eat smaller meals throughtout ?the day, but i hardly have an appetite, so i'm pretty much forcing myself to eat, and it just feels like it's all going to come up. ? ?can anyone suggest anything to help?

B6 and half a unisom is FDA approved for morning sickness.

If you really can't find relief, your doctor can prescribe something like Zofran or Phenergan, which should help ease the nausea.

hello! i have been feeling the same way, i find that before i get out of bed in the morning if i drink some ginger ale and eat a few saltine crackers it realllllly helps! also throughout the day i have been eating some cherry flavored life savers, for some reason they seem to help a little! also i am trying to drink lots of water! i dont know if that helps but it seems to make me feel a bit less queasy!

b6 and unisom. Warning: It will knock you out.

I've had HG with both my pregnancies and am either allergic or have horrible side effects to any medications they can give for m/s. This time I've found that what really helps when I'm just nauseous is coke syrup - they have it behind the pharmacy counter. I drizzle a couple tablespoons over crushed ice and drink it over the course of a half hour or so. It helps settle my stomach.

My advice-- get used to it. It's just something that goes with pregnancy. If you aren't throwing up, you won't get dehydrated so I doubt the Dr will give you anything. Also, my Dr told me the meds they give have some risks to them.

I have been throwing up since 6 weeks. It sucks. I sometimes almost breakdown, but these ladies are great support!

Also watermelon jolly ranchers, ginger candy, and eating plain 'ol watermelon have been major staples for me.

I drink a cup of hot ginger tea when my m/s gets bad. It helps quite a bit.

I picked up "preggie pops" at Motherhood and they help me every time. I've also heard that any sour candy will help.

I was feeling the same way as you until my doctor suggested taking 25 mg of B6 with each of my 3 main meals. That along with eating something small every 2 hours seems to be working well. If your morning sickness is mostly at night then I would try the unisom B6 combo to help you sleep.

I had pretty bad nausea/vomiting for a couple weeks and called my dr who said to take vit B6. I took 50mg in the AM and 50mg in PM right before going to bed and it made a WORLD of difference! I HIGHLY recommend this!!

If this doesn't help, call for a prescription of Phenergan or Zofran (both of which will make you very sleepy, but if your desperate enough)

Ginger is AWESOME, I highly highly recommend it for nausea.

Talk to your doc they can give you give you a Rx I'm taking Zofran but there are some others out there. It help me with my nausea a lot but sometimes I still get sick but it is nice not to feel nausea all day.

the thought of food, anything food makes me sick. ?i haven't actually thrown up. ?but the nausea is 24/7! ?i can't do anything, it's sooo hard to work! ?i guess i'll ask the dr. ?thanks everyone, all great advice! ?i just hope it doesn't last the whole pregnancy!
