Any Tips For Morning Sickness Posted: 12-12-03 12:47pm
I am 9 1/2 weeks along and having terrible
morning sickness. Does anyone have any
tips? I have terrible "gagging" and "dry
heaves". Any help would be greatly
appreciated. Thanks!

Hi, I know exactly what your going
through. When I was pregnant to controll
morning sickness I used to keep some
saltine crackers readily available. Try
and let me know if it works. :d

Good Luck! Posted: 12-12-03 12:58pm
I am 12 weeks preg and am thankfully now
over morning sickness. One thing that I
found that helpped me was peaches. I know
it sounds crazy but one morning I could
not eat anything else so I had some
peaches for breakfast and it helped! The
next day I took them to work with me an
kept them in the fridge and eat a few
bites every time I felt sick. I did get
to where I did not want to eat them at all
anymore and everyone thought I was crazy
but i'll do anything not to get sick. I
don't know if this trick will help you but
good luck. Let me know if it does help.

Hello! Ive made dozens of post of tips
for morning sickness! Its anything sweet
really, like the peaches as mentioned
above. Have a spoonfull of ice cream,
mints, gum, brushing your teeth or
mouthwash...Anything like that. It works
great. Ive even found smelling something
sweet works. I have had terrible nausea
and tried many things! So these all work!

Oranges & Vit B6 Posted: 12-16-03 16:59pm
Hello,
i've heard of sniffing orange peel.
Another is vitamin b6 (you can buy at a
pharmacy). There are instuctions on using
them. You take it before each meal. I
used it for nausea when I had stomach
problems...Not sure if it were them but it
seemed to help.

I hate to say this, but there is no "save
all, end all" when it comes to morning
sickness. But a lot of the above
mentioned, eg. The crackers, mints etc.
Will take the edge off for the most part.
I am currently 18 weeks and thank goodness
the worst of it has passed. Good luck!

Yeah I had nausea yesterday, like 3 times
and I wanted to puke so bad! So I
grabbed a mint candy cane and just had
that, and thought about other things like
a new apartment! To take my mind off of
it, and it was gone!

When I was pregnant I had sickness maybe
twice. What help me was I would try not 2
eat so much when I went 2 bed so when I
woke up I would drink a glass of water and
munch on some crackers. I stop feelin
sick. Hope helps!!!
