Hello Everyone,

 Quick question, for those who have morning sickness all day everyday what are some of the things you do or eat to help with your sickness?

 

Thanks

    I was like that almost the whole first trimester.  I hope it gets better soon!  I had a thing for goldfish crackers, pretzels, and cherry pop tarts.  And lots of ginger ale.

    I had it (along with the throwing up, not just nauseau) with DD2 all day, every day, for my entire pregnancy.  The only thing that helped me was Zofran - it kept the throwing up from every hour to 2-3 times per day.

    The only thing I could really stomach was carbs, and lots of them, which was not so good for the weight gain, but oh well!  I liked rye toast, dry cereal (like kix or cheerios), jolly ranchers or sour candies helped too.  I don't like ginger ale so I drank a lot of caffiene free ginger peach tea. 

    I also used Sea Bands - they use pressure points on your wrists to help with nausea.  As silly as it sounds, it definitely made a difference - especailly on car or metro rides.

    My MS didn't go away until 16 weeks - hopefully yours will be short!

    Eat what appeals to you in the moment, and track your nausea and/or vomiting for your next doctor's appointment. I was surprised to learn in my first pregnancy I had hyperemesis - the technical term for "throws up too much" - and needed medication. (I have it with this pregnancy as well).

    Ug, that is miserable, I hope you feel better soon!  I was pretty sick from about 5 weeks until 20 weeks.  I still get sick occassionally, but it's more like once a week instead of every day.

    I took zofran and it helped a lot. The headaches and constipation it caused were no fun, but at least I could get through the day.

    I second PP about eating whatever sounds good right then.  My doctor said it was more important to get SOME food in, even if it wasn't the best nutrition.  I ended up eating a lot of microwave popcorn, frosted strawberry pop-tarts, and spaghetti with butter.  None of which I ate before I got pregnant, but for some reaosn those were some of the only things I could keep down.  Oh, and cold cut combos from Subway.  I had more of a problem with liquids.  Milk was usually fine, and occassionally water with lots of lemon, but that was about it.

    This. Although I was lucky that my all day every day sickness with vomiting went away at about week 20. Zofran is a wonder drug!

    Before they gave me Zofran, I pretty much lived on carbs. Bland ones that (not to be indelicate) wouldn't burn coming back up.

    Ginger and peppermint candies helped me a lot. I ate a lot of candy canes.

    Great advice above.  If you get bad enough for medication, you can always ask about Reglan (The Poor Man's Zofran).  That's what I took with my second and third pregnancies.  I "toughed it out" during my first pregnancy and now I kick myself for not asking about medication sooner with that pregnancy.  I was so sick I was losing weight - not good.

    Hope you get it worked out - its a bear!

    Sour lemon candies were my lifeline when I was nauseated.  And I drank a ton of lemonade, sprite and ginger ale.

    With my first pregnancy I toughed it out until week 20 on the mistaken notion that it would get magically better soon, my second pregnancy I took zofran, it is a wonder drug. As to eating, I found I had a window from about 2-4 where I wasn't feeling too ill, so I would eat my main meal for the day then. Until I took zofran, I couldn't keep any food down in the morning. I would just eat a salad or wonton soup for dinner, for some reason neither of those bothered me.
