pg ? - what really helped w/your nausea?

RubyEggi · November 2008

my friend is in her 1st trimester and going through the lovely 1st tri.

what things really worked for you? do sea bands really work?

CD+AL · November 2008

I had all-day everyday nausea from about 5wks to 16wks or so, and the only thing I found that worked for me was eating protein constantly. I started the day by choking down a Zone Bar b/c it had 14g of protein in it, and from there I focused on snacks like beef jerky, nuts, PB, cheese, etc. every hour or so. I just had to make sure I stayed ahead of the nausea, and in the worst case situations, I'd eat carbs and then protein b/c the carbs went down easier, helped in the short-term, and helped me feel good enough to choke down some protein. It got me though it though.

Protein, lots of protein. I ate a lot of chicken sandwiches.

Zofran and constant food.

Food. I thought the sea bands did nothing until I took them off one night before bed and almost threw up. It doesn't hurt to try them.

i swore the sea bands worked but i think i just made myself believe they did....i tried everything tho....ginger (which any kind of ginger thing makes me sick to this day!!), crackers, FOOD, vitamin B--i think thats the one??

it should pass soon, but easier said than done!

I always made sure that I had something in my stomach and I ate really light foods nothing to heavy.

small meals, heavy on the protein. ?when it was really bad i went with smoothies (not?citrus, too acidic). ?avoided foods high in iron like spinach, cheerios, and belly bars.

Getting plenty to eat and drinking lots and lots of ice water with lemon.

Peppermint tea every morning. Mild food the rest of the day.

nothing =( whining helped a little I guess. I had it the entire pregnancy until the day I delivered. It wasn't bad enough to get meds for but it was continuous torture.

neya28 · November 2008

oh I forgot I used to eat lots of tick tacks & drink seltzer by the gallon.

ascbride · November 2008

Lemon water or lemon candy, chewing gum, peppermints, lots of ice water.

NOTHING! (sorry)

abergale · November 2008

I used the sea bands because I got really car sick and they made me feel better but not great. I had to go on Zofran because I couldn't hold more than broth and noodles down until about 22 weeks. I just ate a lot of broth with noodles, I added some veggies when I felt good. Fudge bars and I did carnation instant breakfast shakes to help get something in.

I ate a lot of small meals, and my mom ended up getting me these sour drops at the end of my 1st tri that helped a lot. I think that they were called Preggie Pops or something weird like that- it was apple, raspberry, lemon, and orange (all sour)- they were similar to sour apple Jolly Ranchers. They helped so much with the nausea.

Most anything sour. I always had a pack of sourbreakers with me (made by ice breakers)--just sugar free sour candy, and it worked like a charm every time.

Emetrol and Zofran,

A combination of things: sea band bracelets, 1/2 tablet of unisom every night, potatoes, potato chips, and saltine crackers. Mostly the unisom because it would knock me out to sleep.
