Anyone have tips or tricks for morning/all day sickness?

zebrastripes · March 2011

This morning sickness is following me around all day long. I feel so horrible. Almost every smell and taste makes me feel like I need to run for the bathroom. I was feeling pretty good until a few days ago when the symptom hit me. Since then, every day the symptom just seems to get worse. Today was by far the worst. I have been in bed almost all day or laying on the couch.

Does anyone have any tips or tricks? I have the easy drops and preggy pops. I thought they tasted good until the symptom hit me hard. I tried one after that and it ended with me hugging the toilet. I just want to do my every day routine. My house is messy and it is driving me nuts but I just feel so bad. Ugh please help.

I find that little sips of sparkling water help. Have you tried an acupressure band?

I suck on hard candy all day long (sugar free). It seems to help.

Ginger and ginger ale are my life savers

I have found that it helps if you never let your stomach get completely empty, and keep it bland. I would keep a bag of Peppridge Farm Goldfish in my car and next to my bed for easy access. I stayed away from red sauces (tomato is very acidic) which would bother my stomach, but loved plain pasta with some butter and a little salt or parmesean cheese. Also, sucking on hard candies does help- though when m/s was worst, having a piece of candy in my mouth that long would make me gag. I am actually looking forward to m/s rearing it's ugly head once again -never thought I'd say that!! HTH

I was feeling nauseous for three days straight and then several people on here suggested sea bands...and they truly are a miracle. I felt so much better within an hour.

I eat a few saltine crackers and drink some water as soon as I wake up and that helps for most the day.

So far with this pregnancy, I haven't been sick but I'm super early on so I'm sure it's coming...with my last pregnancy I though Ginger Ale helped. Also, drinking water with lemon and slowly eating saltines in the a.m. My dr. also had me take vitamin B6 and Unisom which helped tremendously! I would maybe ask about that.

It helped me with pg #1 to never let my stomach get empty. I kept a bottle of ginger ale and crackers on my nightstand and I had a little bit before I even got out of bed. I snacked throughout the day on small, bland meals (toast w/ peanut butter, plain bread, granola bars, etc). I've also heard that peppermint helps some people. I never tried it, because I can't stand peppermint stuff. I used Sea Bands, too and they seemed to take the edge off. Hopefully it'll get better soon!

^^this for the morning. And then for all day, I eat every 3 hours. Just never let my stomach get too empty because then it's straight to dryheaving/yarfy central. So, I keep organic fruit roll-ups, organic gummi bears, and raisins in my purse. At my desk I have granola bars and cereal bars. Between all of that, I have been able to find one thing to munch one that doesn't gross me out at that time.

Thanks everyone. It is hard to keep my tummy full. Just the thought of food makes me sick. Ick!

I nibbled on crackers this morning. It didn't seem to do anything for the morning sickness but at least I got something down. I have never heard of the sea band thing so I think I will try that.

i am right there with you, crackers seem to be the only thing i can keep down. i've been drinking powerade just to help get some form of nutrition in my body. i'm hoping this lets up soon so i can get back to eating healthy!
