Must try this...

Altoids. This helps SO much. When ever you get that nasty taste in your mouth or you feel that queasiness, pop a peppermint altoid and suck slowly on it. All other mints are too light, altitudes are strong. Mentos actually help too. Also suck on half a lemon and salt to it. You will feel a burn for a bit down your throat but then a satisfying burp comes after. You will feel refreshed too! Bland chicken, simple pasta, saltine crackers, and 7-up. Also if you are constipated, drink a whole bottle of that drinking yogurt. Forgot the name but I had raspberry. You will go to the bathroom that night and ll that good bacteria in the yogurt is good for constipation. Tums works for me too. On my 10th week and it's been hard but without all the stuff above.. I wouldn't survive. Altoids!!!

Band

Sea bands are the best invention ever!! Where them on each wrist in the early morning hours, like the 5 am pee! And they help so much!! You can get them at ur local drug store cheap!! I was sick last week for a couple days! When morning sickness started put sea bands on and haven't gotten sick once since! And they help with the nausea feelings;) try them!! Just wish I knew about them my first pregnancy!!

SUPER SICK

I am forever sick, my stomach always feels upset. I always feel like vomitting but I never do. Last I could not even sleep cos I was so nauseas then I trid gaviscon and that strong peppermint taste really did wonders for me. But right now, as I am typing this, I am really sick and this makes me very lazy, moody and irritable.

B6

My first pregnancy was brutal. I was sick all day every day from 6 weeks on. I spent whole days on the bathroom floor, trying ginger, citrus, crackers, sea-bands, you name it. Finally I tried 25mg of vitamin B6 per day. No more puking! I had to use a pill splitter because I could only find 100mg tablets but it was the only thing that worked. I'm now pregnant with baby #2 and haven't had any problems because I started taking the B6 right away.

Morning Sickness

I am pregnant with my second child. I am about 5-6 weeks and I can't stop vomitting. When I wake up to the time I go to sleep all i want to do is vomit and I have stomach pains. I found that bananas and slushies really help me out. I can't drink no soda or juice only slushies so I found a way to make my own slushies at home. Hope everything works out.

Nothing works

I've tried everything, from bread to crackers to apple juice. Nothing seems to work I'm at my wits end right now. I just ate some cherios and it seems to be staying down but every smell is just sickening. Oh I can't wait for this to end!

Sick 24/7

At 5 weeks I met nausea, by week six I was vomitting more times a day than u had fingers & toes. Finally I was prescribed Zofran by my OB. I'm still sick but can at least keep some food & fluid down, as I couldn't before & ended up in hospital requiring fluid. What I found helps is eating small amounts frequently, what ever your body will let you. Unfortunately none of the old wives tales worked for me, but drinking thru a straw. I'm now at week 12, frightened that I have still 28 weeks to go. This is by far the most horrible thing I've experienced, it will be all worth it, good luck all!

Popsicle

I was feeling like I need to throw up, but never did. I just have that stomach sick. I was craving for some Popsicle. After I ate it, I noticed the feeling went away. Try it! It works for me.

sounds strange, but...

i'm going on 10weeks and ive been unbelievably sick since week 4. my friend shared a tip her mother gave her when she was pregnant, nesquik out of the plastic bottle. i was alittle disbelieving but i LOVE chocolate milk anyway, so i gave it a try. my boyfriend now buys 2 every single night so i can have them in the morning, i drink ATLEAST 2 a day and i swear by them, soo much relief comes out of that bottle. and i have SO many food aversions, the only things i can really always count on are toasted bagels with cream cheese, and cereal...hope it helps some of you ladies out there :)

Sick and tired

Im 6 weeks two days and miserable. If I'm awake I'm nauseous and it's making me grumpy which of course is making my fiancé miserable as well. Although nothing takes the nausea completely away but I find cinnamon hard candies such as fire balls really help take the edge off. Good luck!
