Sea bands

Has anyone used the Sea bands to help combat nausea?  I have tried everything and it just seems to continue 24/7. 

Re: Sea bands

  • I use them even before I was pregnant to ease motion sickness. They work fine not as well with my worst MS day but they did the trick for the most part. I also wouldn't recomend sleeping with them since u might lean on ur hand I don't think they cut off circulations but I woke up in the middle of the night since they where not comfortable and had shifted. 
    Have you already tried the B6 or Peggy pops 
    B6 is why I'm not using the sea band as much now.

  • They slightly helped with my first pregnancy, but not with this one.  I have been so sick that no amount of pressure from those bands will help.

  • They helped almost instantaneously for me! The other day I could hardly stand I was so nauseous so I put one on and with in ten minutes I wasn't 100% but I felt pretty good and was even able to eat right away! Definitely worth a try!
  • I'm having some trouble finding them in stores but I  intend to try them as soon as I can.
  • They have them at most pharmacies, and I saw them at Target the other day. Maybe try babies r us or similar baby stores if not
  • I will give them a try. Thank you
  • I bought some at CVS today. Not sure if they are helping, but they have helped with motion sickness in the past. My issue is after a couple of hours they get painful. I also took dramamine natural ginger today but I really don't feel any different. Still nauseous and starving at the same time.

  • Those sea bands give me the heebie jeebies. I can't have little hard bumps pushing on my pressure points like that *shiver* 

    For the record, I'm just weird. I used to sleep with my knees tucked all the way up as a kid to shoo away the fears that someone would come behind me and stab the backs of my knees with knives. 
  • Yep. I lived in them 1st trimester last pregnancy, and I've recently busted them out again.

  • I bought them at brus. I can't figure out what is the "right" amount of pressure. No matter how I wore it, they didn't help. Either I doing something wrong, or I'm just stuck with this awful MS lol

  • Lol @OrangeEv I thought I was the only weird kid....I used to be unable to sleep with my feet not tucked in really securely bc I had this fear that a witch would come into my house and tickle my feet....
  • I haven't bought Seabands because the "mama" ones are light purple which is a color I can't put on myself. I was never sure if they functioned exactly the same way as the other models. Secondly, because if people saw me wearing seabands, they would KNOW I was pregnant. (No I can't wear long sleeves. I'm in Texas.)


  • I got some because we were flying this week (7 weeks) and I had to try something. I wore them the entire 6 hour flight and only had nausea near the end when I was getting hungry. Would definitely recommend them!

  • I had some with my first pregnancy. I'm still convinced that it's all the hocus pocus. All they did was grind divots into my wrists :(

  • I bought some tonight and am trying them out.. I'm not sure if it's making a difference or not.. but I'm wearing it anyway! 
  • Don't waste your money, they don't work....at least not for me
  • I've never tried those but lemon water has been fantastic so far with babe #2.
  • Well the band's aren't great. I have found that cherry 7-up is doing better than the bands.
