Best nausea tip

katyms7 · June 2013

And go...

The morning sickness is killing me the past week. I feel like I can't function. Anyone have any good tips to share?

I'm weak. I take zofrain

katyms7 · June 2013

Does it make you even more groggy? I can't be even more exhausted and I tend to be sensitive to meds. I was thinking to talk to my ob about it when I meet with her for the first time next week.

lemon water, B6 at night, small frequent meals, avoid really heavy meals, jolly ranchers or sour candy

jhjocelyn · June 2013

I've got a combinations of things I try, nothing cures it, but eventually something will help.

I take b6 (my ob recommended 50 mg 3x a day) with my last b6 i take a unisom and go to bed (apparently they work together to fight it).

I use seabands off and on.

I keep preggoe pop drops in my pocket and need about 2-3 a day.

I try to snack even if I don't feel hungry every hour.

I don't drink plain water (mix it with a spoonful of lemonade mix or juice), and never too much liquid on an empty stomach.

Zofran made me super sleepy and gave me a headache, but everyone reacts differently to it. It was worth trying for me even though it just brought other issues.

Hope that helps!

Lately what has really been helping me is VERY watered down lemonade. Not sweet - it's the sour you want. It's really been helping at work plus helping me get my liquids.

I've kept snacks and sour patch kids in my desk at work ... but I'm at the point where that hasn't been working ... i walked into the office today and walked directly to the bathroom to lose my breakfast ... ugh ... fx 2 more weeks only of this!!!!

Nothing is fool proof for this time :

Things that have worked:
B6, carnation instant breakfast, chewing ice, only eating exactly what you think you can handle at that moment I bring huge lunches that are all basically snack items crackers/cheese/granola/yougurt/etc and hope that something sounds appealing, nuts, unsweetened decaf ice tea.

Mostly I find something that helps and stick with that for a week I've been sipping decaf tea like its going out of style or so then it inevitably makes me sick and I move on to the next thing.

Great, thanks for the tips! I have been trying ginger ale, ginger tea, snacks, and the seabands. I am having an awful time. I am going to try some of these things and try some water with lemonade mix because plain water makes me instantly get sick. I never had bad morning sickness before with my pervious pregnancy.

Ice cold water with lemon and lime slices.

Eating fruit and string cheese immediately after waking up.

Not really groggy. Sometimes I get a headache with it. But I am prone to headaches

The Zofran keeps me from throwing up, but I keep the nausea with it. For me, it has contributed to headaches and constipation. Doesn't make me groggy. You just have to weigh out which you can live with the vomiting or the side effects.

gingerbabe · June 2013

I put a dab of peppermint oil under my nose. It helps me, but my nausea is random and not super bad. You could see if it helps you though! My H loves the smell.

Zofran, unisom, B6, gingerale, lemon or lime in water, do not drink with meals, eat small meals/snacks through out the day, lemon drops or other sour candies, baby oyster crackers, watermelon, sea bands.

Gatorade, slurpees, flavorIce. Keeps you hydrated, gives a little sugar boost, helps with nausea and headaches. Great for summer too

WinsyWade · June 2013

Regular water was making me sick too so I started adding frozen pineapple tidbits or other frozen fruit (blueberries are good too). It helped flavor the water but not over do it.

I found I feel the most sick if I'm dehydrated. I like cranberry juice with water too. And LOTS of ice in all my drinks. The coldness helps.

I also do small frequent meals.

HereWeGo2014 · June 2013

If you haven't tried the B6/unisom combo, I'd highly suggest starting there. I defintely notice i feel better the days after I take it.

I'm also on zofran, using seabands, trying to keep something in my stomach but not huge meals, eating ice and popcicles (dehydration makes it worse), epsom salt baths, keep gum handy.

I've noticed several ladies have also commented elsewhere that they need to avoid dairy and citrus

For me the key has been keeping my blood sugar steady. I try to eat something at least every 2 hours and make sure all my snacks have some protein. All the carb remedies people suggest (sour candy, ginger ale, saltines, etc.) help for a minute but then I always end up feeling worse when my blood sugar crashes a few minutes later.

Some of my go-to snacks have been: apples with peanut butter, salted nuts, greek yogurt, canned peaches with cottage cheese, cubes of cheese with crackers, and potato chips with plain greek yogurt dip.

DaisyKD · June 2013

the only thing I have found that helps is jolly ranchers

Summer889 · June 2013

Oh and stay hydrated! Dehydration makes nausea worse.

Zofran has been my lifesaver. Also, polar seltzer water is fantastic- no sugar (i hate soda! makes my teeth feel fuzzy) and the bubbles settle my stomach. Other than that, I suffer through it.

What has helped me the most is lemon squeezed into my water. Chewing mint gum also helps me.

ChuggingWater · June 2013

Sour Patch Kids.

JoCountry · June 2013

Jolly ranchers seem to help with the nausea, but in a pinch other hard candy has helped some.

I already fight to keep my blood sugar even, and it's much more sensitive now. So eating every couple hours really helps me, which is hard because food seems so gross. But a missed snack sends me into a nasty spiral of nausea and exhaustion.

Good luck!
