Why didn't I try this sooner?!

Now I know Sea Bands have been brought up numerous times but I just thought they looked silly and wouldn't really work. OHMYGOD. They're a lifesaver today. I was sick every single day for a month and a half and then it stopped. I thought I was done with that symptom and felt great for a week. Then on Friday it all started again but times ten. Called out of work Tuesday it was so bad - I was so nauseous I couldn't even keep water down. I went out on my lunch break yesterday and got these ugly sea bands, returned to work looking like I was about to teach an aerobics class and haven't been nauseous since! I get really nauseous every morning so I set my alarm for a half hour early, woke up and put them on before getting up and this morning I felt great. Finally!

I AM IN LOVE! Minus the ugliness of them but hey, nothing is pretty about vomitting in the work bathroom and having your mascara get all over your face. Wishing this wasn't the case at 14 weeks but hopefully this part is over soon. For now, sea bands it is.

    I'm so glad they are helping you, and a little jealous!  They never did much for me :(

    Same. I remembering having a puke-fest and staring down at my wrists and getting really angry at my sea bands. I threw them across the bathroom.
