For ladies with all day nausea...

Once I got to about 7 weeks, the all day nausea hit me hard. I have not thrown up, but all day long I felt like I would any second. I have tried everything from gingerale, Vitamin B6, and Unisom. B6 and Unisom made it worse. Today, I could not take it any longer. I was so sick this morning I couldn't think of anything but the nausea. I left work and went to the drugstore and bought some Seabands. I remembered seeing someone here post about them. I put them on, and the relief was almost instant. I don't feel 100% better, still a little queasy and not much appetite, but it took the edge off so I no longer feel like I am going to vomit any second. So it is a major improvement, I could actually function at work which was good.

If you are desperae for relief, give them a try. The only thing is I have to wear long sleeves so ppl at work don't see them. If someone asked what they were or why I was wearing them, I don't really know what I would say.

I hope this helps someone!

  • Awesome!  I'll keep that in mind, hopefully I won't need them :)

  • I hadn't bought them yet because I didn't know what I would do about people at work seeing them.  Do long sleeves cover them okay ? - it is winter weather here in PA so I can get away with lots of layers.
  • That sounds great...I'm going to have to try them.  I'm the same, feel nausea all day, but I don't get sick.

    Yes, definitely. Like PP said, you wear them three fingers back so they won't show as long as your sleeve hits the top of your hand. I had a very lightweight cardi on today and as long as the sleeves were all the way down, you could not see them.

  • I did the same thing today! Was driving into work and the thought of having to deal with the nausea made me turn into the drug store. I agree, the Sea Bands are a definite improvement.My only problem was, someone DID notice them! (Even though I had long sleeves on.) Luckily it was my assistant, and she wasn't going to make a huge deal about it...but I figure better that one person noticed the bands than a bunch of people noticing me barfing in the bathroom.

    Glad you felt better today! 

  • I am so glad they work for you, they didn't for me with my last pregnancy. I think I actually threw them away, I kind of wish I had kept them so I could try again.

    I had to tell my principal I was pregnant today because I literally thought I was going to yak all over my students while teaching this morning.  This nausea is out of control.  I'm almost curious if it feels better to vomit?  This long term nausea is getting the best of my positive attitude, I tell you that much!

    It does not feel better to vomit.  When I throw up, it just gives me a sore throat and an empty stomach, in addition to the nausea.
