Hi! I am having really bad morning
sickness(really all day sickness). I got
those sea-band wrist bands and a new
prenatal that is supposed to be for
morning sickness. Do you guys have any
other suggestions????
In the morning I can't even function and I
can't miss work!!!

I had horrible morning sicknessfor my
first tri, I was put on diclectin for it.
So if it gets really bad and you start
losing weight, ask your doc about that.
But some things that helped me:
-don't drink anything for at least half an
hour before trying to eat anything.
-lifesavers. Carry those and gum in your
purse at all times for those "uh oh, i'm
in public" moments
-small meals, small bites (when I could
eat)
-crackers-without salt, cause they'll just
dehydrate you more if you can't keep
liquid down.

I hear ya...The morning sickness can be
horrible. I am 11 weeks preggo and still
dealing with it. Here is what I have
done to cope....
-eat a piece of dry toast before stepping
foot out of bed in the morning (my husband
leaves it by the bed before he leaves for
work)
-very small, frequent meals.
-peppermint seems to have a soothing
effect, so stock up on peppermint candy
-i also talked to my doctor and she
prescribed reglan. It has helped with
the vomiting, but not so much with the
nauseous feeling.
-if you are on prenatals, try taking them
at a different time. I started out
taking mine with breakfast; I now take it
with dinner or a snack right before going
to bed, that has helped a little too. Or
you may even talk to your doctor about
changing the kind of prenatal you are on.
Sometimes it's just the vitamin itself
that makes you sick.
Good luck to you and I hope the morning
sickness passess soon.

Hi, thanks! I had another question. I
have been using the wrist bands for 2 days
and am taking a different vitamin with
more b6, and it seems as though it is
better. But did you all have days that
were just better than others? I can't
tell if the symptom is decreasing or if
the new stuff is helping! And since I am
a neurotic I think bad things!
What do you think??

I did have days where I felt better than
others. Hang in there though, it does
get better; at least it did for me. I
still have some bad days, but the good
days are starting to out number the bad.
I don't know about the wristbands, I never
did try them. But if it seems to be
working, keep using them!!!!
