Has anyone tried, liked & had success with Preggy Pops? Looking for something to take at work, especially since no one there knows I am pregnant yet & the running off to the bathroom is getting old.
I tried them when I was pregnant with DS - but my nausea was so bad that they didn't seem to help much (not for me anyway). They also make drops if you're not keen on lollipop sticks.
I had the drops. At first I was annoyed because they just seemed like slightly sour jolly ranchers and I thought they were too pricey for what they were. But as my m/s got worse, they were one of the only things that I could actually tolerate- they're pretty delicious!
I bought some at 7 weeks along, and honestly they really didn't help too much for me. My sister ate them all day long and swears by them, but for me I just would suck on them on my worst days while I decided what to force myself to eat and inbetween snacks and meals. Everyone is different and I think its worth a try. Hopefully they work for ya. I found that they don't reduce nausea, but just give your saliva somewhere to go and helped me from gagging.
I tried one of the drops yesterday and it didn't do much for me. Then again, it was just one. The drops seem better than the pops to me because the pop made me gag.

You can also try any solid hard candy or gum. Sour tends to work better.

Yes! For about three weeks, they were lifesavers. There were some days where my stomach couldnt hold anything down, but also had days where I was on the verge of throwing up and with some deep breathing and a couple preggie pops, took me off the edge. They are kind of expensive, but I figured that I was only really sick till this week, it was totally worth it.
I had many days of nausea where throwing up could have happened, the candies were good for soothing the belly and getting some sugar into my system.
