M/S Solution: Sea Bands

ShoshieShoshie member
in March 2013 Moms

Just went to Target in search of something to suck on (ginger or lemon)...and spotted the sea bands people typically using for cruises.

Put them on as I was leaving the store and it is helping -- I still feel bloated, but not nearly as queasy.Yes

    You're the first person I've met (though not in real life) who is using them and has reported any kind of relief. I wasn't sure if they'd work. Thank you for posting, because I'm getting kinda desperate. Been sick for 3 weeks and losing weight - I need something to quiet my tummy...

    This - it's a set of bracelets you wear and, through accupressure, it is supposed to help the nausea... but you have to basically wear them all them time.

    With DS I wore Sea Bands almost every time I got into the car and every so often at work when MS was bad.  They definitely work.  I just broke them back out this week. :)

    I have PSI bands (same thing) and they provide relief, but at 7w1d we aren't telling people and you can't really get by wearing a rubber band on BOTH wrists without drawing some attention to yourself. And is Texas in July, I'm sweating in a tank top... dang hormones... so I put them on in the elevator on the way home from work and take them off on the way up in the morning.

    I use Psi Bands too. They are much cuter and are waterproof so you can wear them in the shower, doing dishes etc. without soggy bands! www.psibands.com

    I might order some Psi Bands so I can shower and stuff in them, but I just ran out today to get Sea Bands from Target.  THANK you for posting this, seriously.  I am a worthless ball of tears when nauseous, and it's been 24/7 (I'm up a lot at night with my two youngest, one has night terrors, the other is teething still) and just wretched.  I put the SB on as soon as I got in my car and I felt something instantly.  I was massively bloated (thanks Sprite...that doesn't work for me), so I had to wait until I got home and took some baby gas drops to feel full relief, but this is the earliest I've felt human all week.  Usually I finally start feeling betterish about 10pm.  I am sold.
