Do Preggie Pops work?

Or more specifically, do they work any better than regular hard candy?  So far, I've escaped the vomiting morning sickness, but I feel queasy all day.  I'm a bakery manager, and work around food all day.  The smell of garlic butter, chocolate and yeasty dough mixing together is totally grossing me out!

I have to go out of my way or order the Preggie Pop Drops online.  Is it worth it?

    If you have them easy to get to, then yes I'd use them.  But my peppermint star mints helped just as much.  A few of the preggie pop flavors did make me feel a lot better, but in the end the mints were a lot cheaper and easier to buy in bulk at the grocery store. 

    The preggie pops weren't so much better that they were worth the extra hassle for me, but if I was at a store that had them I'd grab some.

     Good luck!  There are some great aids for m/s out there that I never would have found if not for this board and other moms.

    I didnt have much luck with them. I think regular hard candies work just as good. Another thing for smells that works good is putting on a really nice smelling lip gloss, so you are smelling that instead. Also, I found that when I just feel generally queasy, most of the time its b/c I am dehydrated and didnt realize, so sipping some kind of fluids during the day made me feel 100x better. GL!

    They didn't really do anything for me either, but peppermint candies work pretty well.

    They were the only thing that worked for me! I tried Jolly Ranchers but they didn't work...not sure if it was all in my head or not. I say try them!

    I had better luck with mint than with preggie pops but I think preggie pops are better than regular hard candy. They have honey as a sweetener instead of sugar or corn syrup so you don't have as quick of a sugar crash (sugar crash = nausea).

    There's nothing special in them.  They're just candy.

    I did best with mints or lemon drops.

    I found that ginger candy chews worked really well for me.  I think you can find them at TJ's, but I found them also at Target.

    I'm going to TJ's today, I think I'll try those first.  I sipped on watered down fruit juice most of the morning and that really helped too!
