in 2nd Trimester
So before pregnancy I would get car sick if I would try and read in the car... now during pregnancy if someone else is driving, regardless of where I am sitting in the car I get terribly car sick and feel awful for hours. Anyone else having this problem?  Any tricks? 

**siggy warning**

Me: 30 dx w/PCOS 7/13
DH: 31
TTC 11/12
started Metformin 9/13
HSG, tubes open but narrow uterus... f/u with RE 3d u/s everything 'normal'
2/14: hopefully 1st IUI... timing off before trip, waiting until 4/14
3/27: POAS= BFP!!!
3/28: beta#1: 108
4/2: beta#2: 799
4/11: u/s 6w1d EDD 12/4, 1 little penguin!

7/7:  We're having a girl!
12/11: after lots of labor/delivery/nicu excitment baby Piper Mae born 1859 @ 8lbs, 21.5"

    Try sea bands. They seem to do the trick for my SIL. Sorry you are dealing with this :(

    If I'm not driving then I'm more likely to feel sick and when I do, I have to keep my eyes closed and do deep breathing exercises

    I too have noticed that I get more car sick when I am not driving. If I am driving I am OK!

    I had to keep a sleeve of Saltine Crackers in the car, it seemed to help me out a lot.

    haha oh no @kyliedaniellexx there is no more reading in the car lol!  My ob/gyn yesterday mentioned it being okay to use dramamine. I can cope with short car rides to the store/ in laws... but anything over 30 mins and yikes.  We have a trip planned for a wedding that will be a 3ish hour drive... and 2 other trips to my parents and a diff wedding so i'm hoping it'll help with those.  thanks everyone for your input!

    Between weeks 6-11 I could hardly make it 10 minutes without extreme nausea in the car. Now (15 weeks) it has improved greatly but I still have my moments. I have found sucking on ginger mints in the car helps a lot!

    Yeah it kills me. Last time I would get sick at least 3 times in a 30 minute trip. Yuck.

    And there was that memorable time when I got sick while driving.

    I carry a plastic folgers container with double bags in Both mine and DH's car.
