morning sickness - what works, what doesn't

Heres a post for all those with morning sickness. What has worked.

 What works"

1) eating gluten free ginger snaps and generic brand frosted mini wheats (they have more folic acid than regular) when I get up in the middle of the night to pee, and a few bites when I get out of bed.

2) half tab of unisom 30 minutes before bed

what doesn't work"

1) orange juice in the morning (bleck)

2) ginger ale in the morning (too bubbly) but works in the afternoon

 

Ok Ladies... lets hear your remedies.

  • My midwife suggests a liquid B Complex mixed with juice daily.

  • None of the above for me.

     

    Yesterday, it was a can of room temp regular coke (suggested by someone who used to work in an OB's office).

    This morning while dry heaving and driving to work at the same time (lovely) it was string cheese.

    Previously, lifesavers hard candy.

  • Laying with a hot and col compress over my face until the nausia goes away! I alternate, and then eat some toast.

  • This morning was the first morning in almost two weeks that I didn't get cold sweats, dizzy, and dryheaving/throwing up.  What was different?  I had three saltines (unsalted saltines) before getting out of bed.  Just slowly ate them and let them digest, and then got up and went about my morning!

  • Taking crackers with me everywhere!  I constantly have crackers - on my bedside table, in my purse, in my car and at my desk. If I start to feel nauseous I eat a few crackers and drink a bottle of water.  It's making me feel much better.

  • I second the crackers idea. I am constantly snacking on them. I think I am going to need them in bed eventually. :)
