Extreme Nausea

draeray · November 2014

Ok so with DS I never felt any nausea and this morning I am fighting back the urge to run to the bathroom. I ate a bananna this morning for breakfast and I don't know if eating helps or makes it worse.

Do any of you ladies have any tricks to help curb the nausea??

I didn't have nausea with DD1 but I did with DD2. FI gets nausea with migraines, so I ended up taking his zofran. Iced ginger peach tea did help me a bit too, and I made sure not to let myself get too hungry or too full.

Mine wasn't very bad with either boy - but jolly ranchers helped a lot when it did hit me

Jolly ranchers helped me too. Actually, having any kind of candy or gum in my mouth usually helped decrease the nausea.

It's helping me to suck on hard candies like jolly ranchers.

Thanks ladies! 2nd question: Do you think there is any truth to your symptoms relating to the sex of your baby?

DS= no nausa

Baby 2= nausa= girl?

Just playing, I know you can have different pregancies for different babies but it's fun to think about.

Mine was worse with DS - not in terms of actual throwing up, but just the nausea. Actual puking was about the same.

Ginger was a help for me. Trader Joe's Triple Ginger Cookies were great. If you can get your hands on some Zofran, I say do it.

Zofran and never letting my stomach get too empty. I kept crackers in the bedroom and in my purse/diaper bag and snacked. And it was always worse at night for me, so I tried to just chill on the couch and not have to do too much.

I had basically no nauseau with DS. And I lost 7 lbs with DD in my first tri because I felt so gross. So maybe a good theory, but again, each pregnancy is always different. I think with him I could never drink enough milk. With her I constantly wanted watermelon.

Zofran is the bees knees!

I'm feeling awful with this pregnancy, we did a 4hr drive today and I sucked on preggie pops the entire way, kept my eyes closed as much as possible, and buried my head into a pile of coats. Laying down usually helps me. And I have a prescription for diclectin if I need it. I had NOTHING with DS, I felt great most of the pregnancy (the end I was miserable, but beginning was great).

I had no nausea with DD1 but pretty bad nausea with DD2. Also wanted all the fruit with DD1 and greasy food with DD2 haha.

kelly321 · November 2014

Almost no nausea with DD1, moderate nausea for about 6 weeks with DD2. Everyone kept saying DD2 would be a boy since my symptoms were different, but nope.

Peppermints. Lots of them. I'm not sure why, but they really helped me to feel better.

Ginger people ginger chews candy

Soup, especially hot and sour soup like tom yum (which also has ginger)

Somewhere I heard that eating a couple of plain crackers before you even get out of bed helps? I tried it and I can't say that it worked for me.

Magnesium oil topically is supposed to help. It is good for muscle tension too (I can vouch for this) It is a little itchy when you first apply it. If I have nausea with my next pregnancy I am trying this. I didn't know about it until later with DD.
