Frequently Asked Questions

  1. QUESTION:
    Has anyone used a CD or any other natural methods of relieving morning sickness?
    I really don’t want to take medication unless absolutely necessary. Thank you.

    • ANSWER:
      Try Preggie Pops
      http://www.threelollies.com
      They really work. I purchased mine at Motherhood in the mall, but here is their website.

  2. QUESTION:
    Relieving Morning Sickness…?
    I am about 5 weeks pregnant (1st pregnancy), is there any methods to help relieve Morning Sickness? All help will be greatly appreciated.

    • ANSWER:
      Everybody has their own little tricks, and I’ll be glad to share mine. First you need to understand that morning sickness is often brought on by low blood sugar. What you eat and when you eat are really up to you and how you feel, but it’s important to go to bed with food in your belly and put food back in as soon as you wake up. If you always have something in your belly, you are much more likely to feel better.

      As for my tricks, I eat a high protein dinner, about 1.5 hours before bedtime. Protein is digested slowly, so it helps me to keep food in my belly all night long. When I get up, I eat fortified dry cereal, and keep a box with me at all times, so I can munch throughout the day. I then go on to eat very small meals throughout the day containing as much of the nutrition requirements as I can stomach. I also drink 1 gallon of water a day and exercise each day.

      Oh, and if something disgusts you – dont eat it. No matter if it’s all veggies. It’s better to keep your food in you than eat what you think you are supposed to eat. I’ve eaten so much worse (fatty and sweet foods) in the past 3 months than I ever did before pregnancy, but I’m eating what I want, and it’s helping the food to stay in me! Good luck and feel better!

  3. QUESTION:
    I am pregnant but I have a question about the morning sickness?
    I have not went to the doctor but took at home test and they were positive but anyways what are some home remedies for relieving morning sickness. Thanks for the help.

    • ANSWER:
      I would agree that saltines work well, ginger (the root) is great, or altoids makes a ginger “mint”, ginger tea or 7 up. I find that sprite is too sugary.

      You should go to the dr. Make sure you are taking prenatals. You can get those over the counter. They may make you sick, so take them at night.
      Best of luck!

  4. QUESTION:
    Tips for relieving morning sickness.?
    I’m looking for tips and advise to help ease my morning sickness. I have tried ginger and those bands but they’ve not really worked. I haven’t been sick today but I feel horrid. I am so tired but I can’t lie down as this seems to make it worse. Please help.

    • ANSWER:

  5. QUESTION:
    What has worked for you to relieve morning sickness?
    My sister is pregnant with her first baby (Yay!). She is having terrible morning sickness, and the traditional remedies like crackers and ginger ale don’t seem to help much. I didn’t have morning sickness myself so I don’t know what to tell her. Has anyone tried anything unique that worked?

    • ANSWER:
      Biobands worked wonders for me. They are just pressure point wristbands. A lot of cancer patients and soon to be mothers use them, my doctor recomended them.

  6. QUESTION:
    How to relieve morning sickness lasting 24/7 and you tryed everthing in the books?
    Im 12 weeks along and i have tryed everything in the books to relieve my sickness that lasts all day and all nite!! Nothing seems to help im just wonderin if anyone had a secret to this?? I really need help its starting to become very overwhelming…..

    • ANSWER:
      The most important thing right now is to stay hydrated. You really don’t want to be dehydrated, so drink as much as possible. Take small sips so as not to overwhelm your stomach. Water can sometimes hurt an empty stomach, so try ginger ale with the bubbles stirred out (carbonation can also hurt your stomach), powerade or gatorade, or juice, if you can manage it.

      If you do get dehydrated, don’t wait–go to the emergency room and get fluids intravenously. It’s not fun, but it will make you feel better and break the vicious cycle of dehydration.

      Other things that might work for you are popsicles or ices, and fruit–a lot of miserably pregnant women find that they CAN eat fruit, so try out different kinds if that appeals at all. For me, I found that I could eat (at different times) strawberries, grapefruit, and thinly sliced golden delicious apples. It was weirdly specific, but it kept me alive!

      You should try having very small “meals”–a bite of a cracker here and there when you can stomach it. A lot of people find that keeping crackers or something light next to their bed and taking a few bites before they even get out of bed in the morning. You will feel worse if your stomach is empty, so keeping food in it–even just a little bit–will help stave off the misery.

      You might also want to try adding peanut butter to your crackers. Peanut butter has protein, which will make you feel better if you can keep it down.

      If nothing else works, ask your doctor for medication like reglan or zofran to help.

      Good luck!

  7. QUESTION:
    What can I do to help relieve morning sickness?
    I have tried eating saltine crackers and dry cereal and stuff like that. But nothing works, I’m nauseous all day every day. My doctor told me that I could take ginger pills, they are supposed to help relieve motion sickness. I haven’t taken them yet. I was just wondering if anyone had tried them and if they worked? Is there anything else that works?

    • ANSWER:
      Saltine crackers made it worse for me, actually.

      I LIVED on ginger ale and lemon drops for 2 full months. Sometimes I would eat eggs, but usually it was just ginger ale and lemon drops.

      Once you find something that works for you, stay on it!

  8. QUESTION:
    Have you ever tried the morning sickness pill?
    I was at a healthfood store a while back and I saw a pill that is supposed to help relieve morning sickness. Does anyone know if it works? I don’t remember the exact name of it sorry.

    • ANSWER:
      It works like magic, ask your doctor first though to make sure it’s safe for you and baby!

  9. QUESTION:
    what is the best thing to help relieve morning sickness?
    i have just today started getting morning sickness and with my other 2 pregnancies i just dealt with the sickness and i was just wondering what some of you ladies have used that helped. a friend of mine said acupuncture but i dont like the thought of that thankyou in advance

    • ANSWER:
      Try sucking on a lemon, or some lemon candy. Also try giner candy, giner tea, or boil some ginger root and add a little honey too sweeten the taste. I have tried both and they work wonders. Good Luck

  10. QUESTION:
    Does acupuncture work to relieve morning sickness in early pregnancy?

    • ANSWER:

      Good luck

  11. QUESTION:
    Has anyone used Allegra or any other antihistamine to relieve morning sickness while pregnant?

    I have a problem with hives and that is why I use allegra. I’m 9 weeks along and I noticed that when I’m using my allegra I don’t have nausea. This is my 4th pregnancy and I’m usually very sick. I used a different antihistamine my last pregnancy and it also stopped my nausea. I would like to know whether this has happened to other women.

    • ANSWER:
      I’ve never heard of an antihistamine for anti-nausea. I used Claritin for my allergies though, and benadryl for stuffiness.

  12. QUESTION:
    Is there anything to relieve morning sickness?
    It’s horrible, from the second I open my eyes till about three hours it wears off. I chew gum and it helps sometimes. Is there something, anything at all that can help?

    • ANSWER:
      The main cause of morning sickness is a combination of issues related to the chemical changes your body is going through. Mix a pinch of nutmeg powder with a table spoon of gooseberry juice, and take it thrice a day. Sip little by little ginger juice mixed with honey before you get out of bed.

  13. QUESTION:
    How to relieve morning sickness??
    I have been having really bad morning sickness. Does anybody know any way to alleviate the nausea. I find that most foods and even everyday smells are making me feel ill. Any feedback greatly appreciated…

    • ANSWER:
      Lemon Drops! Trust me on this, I never went anywhere without Lemon Drops.

  14. QUESTION:
    What did you do to help relieve morning sickness?

    • ANSWER:
      I had two types – the kind that’s brought on by something specific, and the just general kind.

      The specific thing that made me ill was anything in my mouth that ‘shouldn’t’ be there. Dentists’ fingers. Raisins in my oatmeal. Toothbrush. I just avoided textured foods I couldn’t handle, bore with the dentist, and the toothbrush thing was worst in the morning. Sad to say, I stopped brushing my teeth in the morning until that passed!

      General background nausea? For me, SOUR stuff worked like a charm. I existed on sour skittles. I sucked on key limes. Lemonade only without s ugar, t hanks. Green apples. But altoids citrusy sour ‘mints’ … stear clear of those. They made me puke, every time. don’t know w hy.

      Hope that helps you!

  15. QUESTION:
    What helped your morning sickness?
    Anyone have any special tips to relieve morning sickness? any advice is greatly appreciated. thanx.

    • ANSWER:
      Adding lemon wedges to my water bottle – lots of them so the water was really tart. I wouldn’t guzzle it, just take frequent small sips. And I grazed a lot on small snacks throughout the day.

  16. QUESTION:
    Do motion sickness bands really relieve morning sickness?
    I am on my second pregnancy, about 10 weeks and I can barely function. I feel nauseous ALL DAY and I am dry heaving a lot (its like i cant actually throw up) I heaved so hard the other night i literally wet myself. I am so desperate and NOTHING works, but i really dont want to take medication, I want to use something natural. If anyone knows if these bands work I would love to hear about it. I have a toddler to take care of and i can barely get out of bed. Please help!

    • ANSWER:
      the bands work for some people, and may not work for others.

      the only way to know is to try and find out.

      you may also ask your doctor to prescribe a medication to help.

  17. QUESTION:
    What can I do to relieve morning sickness?? I am HORRIBLY sick and I cannot do crap all day!?
    I sleep and puke alllll day. What can I do to feel better??? I am 6wks 4 days!

    • ANSWER:
      awww! i was going to ask the SAME question! lol.

      I am 8 weeks 5 days. My day consists of small snacks, ginger ale, sleeping, gagging, and puking.

      I just called Kaiser bc none of the regular suggestions work for me (saltines, ginger ale, small meals, keep something in your tummy, sleep, water, etc)

      I haven’t had REAL food in 2 weeks. I “snack” all day. I have a string cheese, saltines, grapes, a banana, yogurt, soup, some veggies and dip… that’s IT. It sucks!

      I was hoping the Dr could provide me a miracle Rx, but they recommended all the regular stuff, plus vitamin B6 supplements (along with pre-natal vitamins). they said start with 50mg at night before bed, if it works, you can increase the dose to 200mg.

      I’m going to try this, maybe it’ll help! Im scared to leave the house bc I puke all the time! I literally had to pull over on the side of the road on the way to work the other day. yucky yucky yucky!

  18. QUESTION:
    What’s the easiest way to relieve morning sickness?

    • ANSWER:
      The best thing to do is combat it before it starts. First, don’t rush to get up in the morning. Take your time getting out of bed. Take some deep breaths and let the rest of your body get acclimated to whatever your stomcah is feeling when you wake up. Next, try eating a piece of dry toast or saltines before eating anything else. Instead of trying to drink juice or water, try ginger tea or another type of herbal tea. Make sure whatever kind you choose is caffeine free though. That might help settle your stomach. Not eating at all or trying to eat something too heavy will probably make you feel more queasy. Although it’s called morning sickness, you may find yourself getting sick or nauseous all through the day. Try to keep some crackers with you at all times.

      During my first trimester, I was sick the first 3 months. I knew that I had to stay hydrated even though I was hardly able to keep anything down. I found that drinking Gatorade in lieu of ginger ale or Sprite really helped. But don’t overdose on that either. Sports drinks have a lot sodium in them and that can cause swelling and preeclampsia. Good luck and congrats!

    • ANSWER:
      Worst case is that you’ll need to go into the hospital for hydration. Try eating only jell-o, broth , juices and yogurt. No solids.

  21. QUESTION:
    what did you do to relieve nausea/morning sickness during pregnancy?
    i just found out i’m pregnant. my 1st doctor’s appt isn’t until tomorrow morning so i have no idea yet how far along i am. i am DEATHLY terrified of getting sick. i literally have a phobia of vomitting myself or of anyone even thinking they may vomit. what can i do?? :(

    • ANSWER:

  22. QUESTION:
    Morning sickness?
    Ok so I read all the posts and I saw that some people have had really good luck with preggie pops for relieving morning sickness. Sounds good but there isn’t anywhere where I live that sells them so I have to order them online. In the meantime does anyone know if theres anything similar or any other suggestion of something they would sell at like wal mart or somewhere similar so I could actually get a hold of it like today. I’m completely miserable I’m nausious all day and I don’t know that I can wait until i could get something by mail. My partner works 12 hour shifts on the weekend so I’m home with a 2 1/2 year old who doesnt understand what’s going on and I haven’t found anything that has worked so far. Any suggestions would be great.

    • ANSWER:
      ASK YOU DR FOR DICLECTIN IF YOU HAVE NAST MORNIG SICKNESS………it is the best thing ever invented you take 2 before you go to bed and the morning is usually pretty damn good…safe for baby and good for mommy…..i took my last one thursday and i think i hit the 3 month mark and most of the sickness is gone now i am feelin good..there is no need to suffer when u can fix it

  23. QUESTION:
    Popsicles to cure morning sickness?
    Has anybody tried eating popsicles to relieve morning sickness? Does it really work?

    • ANSWER:
      Lemon popsicles work the best. Something in the lemon makes it work better than regular popsicles. And the sugar helps calm the stomach. That is why they say to drink flat soda when you have the stomach flu. I bought some anti-nausea medicine for my kids and I noticed the ingredients was just sugar.

  24. QUESTION:
    Are there any ways to relieve or reduce morning sickness?
    Both my sisters are pregnant and I hate the thought of them being in pain :(

    • ANSWER:
      I hear GINGER SNAPS work real well. Also, there are some prenatal vitamins that can reduce it. What a nice sister!

  25. QUESTION:
    Is there anything I can do to relieve morning sickness?

    • ANSWER:
      Eat small meals throughout the day if you can stand it – even have your partner bring you food in bed before you get up – a rice cake or something. Ensure you get enough rest. And take a B-complex vitamin – studies have shown B-vitamin can really reduce morning sickness – I know it helped for me. Also a small amount of ginger steeped in hot water can help.

      If your morning sickness is really bad and you are losing weight, ask your doctor about taking a prescription medicine that’s safe in pregnancy.

      The iron in prenatal vitamins can make you feel sick, so consider taking them at night after dinner instead of in the morning.

      Avoid Gravol and other over-the-counter remedies for nausea.

  26. QUESTION:
    Will Gingerale help relieve my morning sickness?
    Lots of people have said ginger helps so would gingerale help? Im 8 weeks with my first and have a full time job and feel terrible all day long and I know i need to eat but nothing sounds good most of the time!!!!

    • ANSWER:
      It may,but from my experience. It didn’t help. What helped me was eating small light meals. Nothing heavy,greasy or spicy. Things like toast,crackers,small bowl of oatmeal. Meals mainly consisting of carbs. Although I found that french fries helped me some. I’m convinced it was the salt on the fries that actually helped.

      For now,just eat what you can. Once you are past this icky part. You’ll be able to eat better like you need to.

  27. QUESTION:
    Does anyone know of any methods to relieve morning sickness? Help I’m pregnant and sick of throwing up!?

    • ANSWER:
      Hi sweetheart. If you’ve tried all the non-medication remedies like crackers, ginger etc I have a few suggestions of things you can take. Be sure to clear it with your doctor before you do anything though. First of all you can try Unisom sleep melts 25 mg (same active ingredient as benadryl so you can take 25 mg of that instead) and Vitamin B6. Weird combination, but it did work for me briefly. After my morning sickness got worse, my doctor prescribed me Phenergan anti-nausea medication. Works like a charm and it helps me sleep which is nice on those insomniac nights. Your doc might also prescribe you Zofran. Good luck I know it sucks!!!

  28. QUESTION:

    • ANSWER:

      There’s a fantastic method I lately begin using and I really recommend it.

      It is all natural, no ache whatsoever; work rapidly and very easy to learn.
      Let me tell you a little secret: you do not have to endure from your pregnancy.

      Just learn a bit more about it.
      enjoy your pregnancy.

  29. QUESTION:
    Helping relieve morning sickness by eating apples?
    Ok, my husband is driving me crazy, first of all he is a massive nag and secondly he is a big fat know-it-all. lol, ranting. But I when I grew up and I had a rough tummy when I was sick, my Mother would cut me up some apple. She said that if my tummy was rough, to stay away from dairy, citrus fruits, bananas, and anything with a too overpowering a flavour. To stick with simple flavours, even go with bland foods. I have always had apple when I have been sick, preferably green apple as long as its not too sour, and I’ve never had a problem. I am currently pregnant and for the first two months all I could eat was apples and bread because I felt so sick. In fact as soon as I ate one I immediately felt better, which I think is due to the natural sugar…ie energy boost, and that I believe its soft on your tum. But he nags me all the time saying apples are too hard a food for when your tummy is rough, where does he pull this stuff from, I think he makes it up as he go along!

    lol, ranting. :)

    So what did you ladies eat whilst you had bad bouts of morning sickness? And do you agree with me about the apples?

    • ANSWER:
      It honestly depends on the person. With my morning sickness all I could stand to eat that didn’t make me sick where potatoes, ice cream, and smoothies. Since you grew up eating apples when you weren’t feeling good, your system is used to that and it acts as a comfort food to you. As long as the apples aren’t making you more sick but making you feel better, stick with them. Your husband probably heard growing up that you shouldn’t eat apples on an upset stomach or heard that eating too many can make you sick. Tell him you appreciate his concern for you and the baby, but the apples are helping you and not making it worse. Like I said before, what works for someone may not work for another but the apples are working for you so keep munching them. Plus they are good for you and the baby.

      I just finished reading the morning sickness companion and it really helped a lot. Try to always have something in your stomatch and always carry food with you where ever you go. I have been carring crackers, nutigrain bars, and some fruit with me plus a drink like sprite everywhere. Just munch on the crackers throughout the day and try not to ever let your stomatch get empty. I know it’s easier said than done but it does help. You have to experiment with different things that will help you feel better. For some it’s Ginger and others it’s oranges. You should really read that book though. It has some great advise. Good luck and congrats on your pregnancy!!!

  31. QUESTION:
    pregnant what can i do about morning sickness when it’s all day?
    I feel so nauseaus all day what can i do to relieve the morning sickness and the food cravings

    • ANSWER:
      I used sea bands. They’re in the motion sickness isle and they work by a pressure point. I didn’t have morning sickness too bad, but my sister in law did and she wore them 24-7 and swore by them. She had some of the promethezine too. It comes in a suppository form also if you have trouble keeping the pill down. The food cravings, good luck with that. I’ve been having them for over three years now. I’ve been pregnant and/or breastfeeding forever now. My youngest was just born on the third so I’ve got some time to go still. Good luck!!

  32. QUESTION:
    Have any advise on morning sickness relieve?
    I am 12 wks pregnant with my 2nd and have the worse morning sickness. I’m throwing up almost everyday. I ended up in the emergency room once for dehydrations. They gave me some pills and said to take them if I can’t keep anything in for over 12 hours. I’m only throwing up once a day so I’m not taking them. I would like to try all natural things first.
    Those ginger candies make me sooo sick, tea seems to help a little.
    Anything work with you ladies? I am desperate here. I was sick with my DD for almost half my pregnancy and am already 12 wks with this one and showing no sign of easing up anytime soon.

  33. QUESTION:
    Morning sickness advice please?
    My fiancee is thought to be just gone 10 weeks pregnant and she’s experiencing really bad nausea. She is really finding it hard to eat anything and it is worrying me. She feels like this through out the day.
    Can anyone please give me some advice which could relieve this morning sickness?

    Any help would be very much appreciated.

    Many thanks

    • ANSWER:
      Morning sickness can’t necessarily be relieved but it can be helped a little. She should eat bland foods, soups, crackers, drink gingerale and eat smaller meals more often. If she can’t even do that, she should talk to her doctor. If it is too severe her doctor can prescribe her an anti-nausea medication which is perfectly safe during pregnancy.

  34. QUESTION:
    Morning sickness remedies?
    This is my second pregnancy and I am having morning sickness once again, at least not as severe as the first time. But this time it’s a little harder to deal with since I have a daughter who is very concerned about me every time I go running to the bathroom. I also provide childcare in my home now and I can’t be running to the bathroom every few minutes when Ive got little one running around. Please Help!!! I will do anything to relieve my morning sickness!!

    • ANSWER:
      Ginger never worked for me. Never letting my stomach get empty DID. I always kept something in my stomach, usually saltines. I also took Vitamin B6 and Unisom (totally safe) which helped immensely! Being that you watch children during the day take it in the evening it helps A LOT! I suffered with severe morning sickness for the first 4 months of my pregnancy.

  35. QUESTION:
    Any suggestions for morning sickness relief?
    Does anyone have any ideas I can try to relieve my morning sickness? I haven’t been able to hold anything down for 2 days. Not even chicken broth and saltines! Then I get even more nauseous from being hungry! I’ve been having morning sickness for 3 weeks now, but it’s progressively getting worse so that I can’t eat all day. Thank you!
    Well I definately agree that I’m way beyond the crackers! lol I tried eating the saltines before getting out of bed. I tried regular bread, dry toast, ginger ale, 7 Up, and my last resort was chicken broth. That has also failed miserably. That was only thing that worked with my first pregnancy. Since it’s not working this time I’m desparate. Thank you for all of your suggestions. I will definately be looking into the sea bands to see if those help. Dr. for last resort. Thanks again.

    • ANSWER:

      Well honey I feel your pain! Forget the crackers you are to far gone for that. The first thing you shoul try is ginger ail, ginger root tablets, ginger snap cookies, and if that does not sooth you stomach try taking vitamin b, those are some remidies the doctor will try before giving you perscription pills. When I was 5 weeks prego I started feeling sick. Week after week it got worse. I went for days without holding anything down. I went to the doctor and in two weeks I lost 22 lbs! I was put in the hospital on fluids. I was diagnosed with hyperemesis. Only one in 200 get it and I was that lucky on. It seem like you may have it. You need to go to the doctor and let them check you urine for key tones. If there are key tones in your urine you are dehydrated. They will most likely give you fluids and give you phenergin a anti nausia med. It will make you very tired! If that does not work go back to the doctor and they will give you zofran. That is a much stronger med that they give chemo patients and it works wonders. It is safe for you and the baby. Oh and ask for some nexium it desolves your food faster so it wont sit in your stomach all day making you sick. I hope this helps and good luck!

    Morning Sickness (any home remedies or tips to relieve it)?
    My cousin is laying on the floor right now (she just plopped down where she was playing with the twins) overcome with a bought of queasiness. I feel sympathetic because her morning sickness is pretty bad (she’s 9 weeks pregnant). Is there anything I can give her or do for her to relieve it?

    • ANSWER:
      “Drink ginger tea for morning sickness? That’s just an old wives’ tale.” True, an old wife is likely to tell you to drink ginger tea, but consider this…those old wives had probably morning sickness themselves!

The good news is that there are many remedies to try and if one of them doesn’t work for you, very likely another one will.

There is bound to be something here to help no matter whether your morning sickness consists of a little morning nausea or the all day eat and throw up variety. However, be sure to contact your caregiver if the nausea and vomiting becomes unbearable or causes you to lose weight.

      Ø Get plenty of rest.

      Ø Chew your food thoroughly.

      Ø Make sure your stomach is never completely empty. Carry fruit, cheese and/or crackers around with you to nibble on throughout the day.

      Ø Keep a snack by the bed for when you get up during the night to visit the bathroom or soothe one of the kids.

  38. QUESTION:
    can morning sickness return later in pregnancy?
    i was sick as a dog for 3 months straight. it went away and i was so relieved and now i am 23 weeks and it seems to be coming back.. would it be morning sickness this far in? even though its gone away already?

    this is my 2nd pregnancy and with my first i was sick for 3 months and it never came back..

    help?

    • ANSWER:
      Yeah unfortunetly morning sickness can rear it’s head at anytime during the pregnancy. I had it loads at the beginning and now have it on and off even had some this morning at 38 weeks though definetly has been more occassionaly now.

      Good luck!!!

  39. QUESTION:
    I’m pregnant, about 11 weeks. I have all-day morning sickness everyday. What can I do to help relieve it?
    I’ve tried Preggies Pops and Ginger candy but they don’t even help one bit. It actually makes the nausea worse and I’d be in the bathroom. What can I do to relieve it? Thank you so much for your time.

    • ANSWER:
      Try the wrist bands you get for travel sickness – they really can help.
      Also, ginger is a great help, but not really as candy. I would try making an infusion of ginger, i.e. buy some real root ginger, grate a little and pour boiling water over it to let it infuse. You can then strain it and drink it either hot/warm or even iced.
      Nibble on plain ginger biscuits or even dry cream crackers or toast – that will help get rid of the acidity in your stomach.
      You will get over it, but it is horrible while it lasts – you have my sympathies. If you want to know for real, it took me until about 20 weeks to stop feeling nauseous.
      Good luck with it all though!

  40. QUESTION:
    Seriously, what is up with my morning sickness only causing nausea?
    I feel nauseated constantly… to the point where throwing up would actually probably feel relieving. My gosh, I’ve nearly had it with this. All food looks disgusting, I never feel like eating, I hate cooking, whatever I do eat I regret it right away… any tips at all???

    • ANSWER:
      Be glad you aren’t vomiting. I vomited for 3 months straight and lost 24 lbs. When I would start vomiting I would keep going with dry heaves for up to an hour and eventually stop when bile would come up. I would much rather just have nausea!

      Eat what sounds good to you. If you live on peaches and crackers and water for a couple months you will be fine. Don’t worry about cooking fancy things or eating balanced, just try to get something down every day.

  41. QUESTION:
    what can i do to relieve the symptoms of morning sickness?
    I’m only six weeks and I’ve had morning sickness since the five week mark… I haven’t thrown up, but all day (not to mention night) I feel like I’m on the verge. Sometimes I wish I would, just to feel some kind of relief!

    I don’t do anything because of this morning sickness! That and exhaustion. Like, if I go anywhere, I don’t even bother to get ready… Which is very unlike myself! I’m usually one of those girls who takes like two hours to get ready lol

    Crackers don’t help and I haven’t really tried anything else. I don’t know if I can take this for another six weeks if not longer!

    • ANSWER:
      In my opinion, no home remedies work- nada! You can try all of the common things that people suggest, but in the end, you just have to suffer through it unless you want to take medication.

      My Dr. prescribed me Zofran, which apparently a lot of pregnant women take who are very sick. It worked wonders for me. You can take one pill twice a day, I only needed to take it once a day b/c it seemed to last all day. I know others who have taken it too and they have perfectly healthy babies. It’s pregnancy category B.

      I don’t promote taking prescription meds during pregnancy, unless the benefit out weighs the risk (if any). This was a life saver and my overall health improved which was better for my baby. I could eat, sleep better, take my pre-natals, none of which I could do with out it b/c I felt so lousy. It really made a world of difference. good luck.

      PS: You will feel much better by week 13 or so, most women do.

  42. QUESTION:
    How can I relieve this sickness?
    Some say it’s morning sickness, but I think it’s food poisoning. I ate something yesterday and it probably is the cause of my vomiting and sleeplessness. I can’t keep anything down, not even ginger ale. I can’t get out of bed because then I feel more dizzy and nauseous. Your ideas? I’m 8 weeks pregnant and have my first prenatal visit next week. This is also my second pregnancy.

    • ANSWER:
      Pregnancy can cause both of those symptoms, but what I can suggest is calling your OB, telling them what’s going on, then see if they can put you on Premesis, it’s a prenatal vitamin with slow-release B6, to curb your nausea and vomiting. If you can’t get to the OB to get a prescription for this, my OB suggested to take half of a 25 mg tab of B6 every 12 hours. You probably want to stay away from anything fizzy, I have found it upsets my stomach even more. And start by eating dry toast and/or saltine crackers to absorb any acidity in your stomach. Only drink water for now, hydration is key in pregnancy.

      Also, one thing that can help is Sea Bands or Psi Bands-they are accupressure bands that you wear that curb nausea! You can buy them online at www.morningsicknesshelp.com

      Be careful, call the doctor just to be safe. Good luck.

  43. QUESTION:
    When EXACTLY did your morning sickness start?
    How did it begin? mild or severe? any tricks to relieve the nausea?

    THANK YOU =]=]

    • ANSWER:
      I started to get sick 5 days after conceiving lol lucky me. It was somewhat severe. I mostly just gagged though but hardly actually threw up. I noticed that most of the time I was nauseas when I was hungry but the problem was nothing tasted good and I was turned off by the thought of food. I started drinking gaterade which helped and lots of fruit ice pops. Also, bread always made me feel better so I ate bagels a lot. Many people put saltines by their bed so that when they wake up they have something to nibble on. Good Luck and congrats.

    my dr. told me about emitrol…does this work good??

    • ANSWER:
      Ginger candies or tea is supposed to help. Personally, the home remedies didn’t really work for me. After a certain point in the pregnancy they can prescribe medications for nausea and that was a lifesaver for me. So if it gets really bad talk to your doctor and get some help.

  48. QUESTION:
    whats the best thing to relieve sickness?
    Its only been three days and im already fed up of it, i cant eat anything without it making me want to throw up. Please can someone help, what helped you with morning sickness? i had it bad with my first pregnancy, and ginger helped, but its so discusting, i want to find something else

    • ANSWER:
      Don’t let your stomach get empty. even if you just eat a cracker every couple of hours. Eat small meals 6 times a day rather than 3 larger ones a day. Try drinking ice water with fresh lemon it helps your stomach. I find ginger ale worked for me cause of the carbonation. Burping helped.

      Their is also medication your can get from your doctor (Diclectin) it is 100% safe. All it is is vitamin b6 and an antihistamine. You can take it 3 times a day thoughout your entire pregnancy if needed. Most only need it for the first trimester though.

  49. QUESTION:
    my morning sickness is so bad that….
    i feel like im wasting away i cant eat properly i cant go out and do anything it lasts all day its sickenning and physically exhausting i can hardly move from the bedroom. i feel like my health is deteriorating what can i do to keep myself healthy during this time. nothing i try helps relieve the sickness i just want tips on how to keep up some health

    • ANSWER:
      Ginger ale or ginger snaps might help, but if it really is as bad as you describe you could talk to your doctor. You might need a prescription anti-nausea drug. My morning sickness wasn’t unbearable, but I had to nibble all day on ginger snaps or saltine crackers just to keep from throwing up. The old wives tale says that the worse the morning sickness, the better the pregnancy “took.” And “morning” sickness is soo inaccurate as mine was all day. On the bright side, most women only have morning sickness for the first trimester. My stopped around 13-14 weeks.

  50. QUESTION:
    Friend has REALLY bad morning sickness?
    My best friend is about 8 weeks pregnant and has been SUPER sick, it seems like she can’t hold anything down and everything triggers her sickness….I feel really bad for her because even though I’m pregnant (27 weeks) I haven’t had any sickness so I don’t know how to help her…..so I’m coming to you ladies for advice :) …..what can she do to help relieve her sickness?
    I dont think she has a good doctor because they havent even bothered trying to get her in until July 1st!!! She called like a month ago….I just keep thinking that it could’ve been an ectopic pregnancy and she would’ve never known becasue her doctor is going to be bothered with her until she’s like 12 weeks….

    • ANSWER:
      There is no sure way to stop it. I even tried pills the doctor gave me and they didn’t work. I could only hold down water, if your friend isn’t even managing that she needs to go to the hospital. I was so sick up until I was 21 weeks that I lost 28lbs.
