Need Nausea Cures!

Salty potato chips have worked for me, along with saltines... dry cookies.... when i eat my meals, I make sure to have protein. And my small meals are usually every 2-3 hours. I usually eat slowly and find i can't eat more than what would fit on one hand. If i get too full, i get nauseated or have heartburn. In the morning when I don't feel like eating, i try to have a protein shake just to get something in before the nausea sets in. Sometimes I'll substitute a snack food with a protein drink. I can no longer tell when I'm hungry because when I'm hungry, I get nauseated. I don't know I'm hungry until the food is in my mouth. Like japster, hard candies to suck on helped... for me the sour ones are best. Chewy spree often does the trick too. I'm in my 10th week & I'm hoping it's over soon. Good luck!

this is so true, EXACTLY how i was in my first trimester. Whenever i got nausea, it meant i needed to eat. so, in order to keep the nausea at bay, i had to eat small snacks all the time (every 1-2 hours) to prevent from getting nausea in the first place. it was annoying because there were a lot of foods that turned me off and it was hard to find stuff i liked. i did not enjoy eating AT ALL but it was the only thing that made me less nauseous.

anyway, just be glad that for most women, this annoying nausea goes away after 1st trimester. mine didn't really go away completely until week 16, but by week 12 i was feeling somewhat better for the most part (just would feel sick in the mornings mostly).

2nd pregnancy had me nauseous all the time... I rocked in my glider quite a bit and it helped plus sucking on some sour hard candies really helped in my case. I guess the motion and pucker sensations drew my attention away from the nausea.

I am in my 12th week, and the nausea is still here...hard lemon drop candy has been helping...some days are good..I can actually eat a meal without feeling nauseous! some days are really bad where all i wanna do is curl up into a ball and die...I'm hoping this all goes away soon! Plus to make things worse - I'm sick! So this week I've been nauseous with a runny nose, coughing and sneezing! Hang in there!

CONGRATS!
I lived on chicken broth, ginger ale, preggie pops and saltines during my first trimester! I still carry preggie pops in my purse for those rare occasions that I still get nauseous.

Hi Ladies,

I'm new to this forum but figured I'd offer my advice as well. :)

Preggo pops have worked wonders for me! I found Ginger Tea, Salt & Vinegar chips & ice water helped too.

Congrats to all you soon to be mommies! :O)

I saw someone else say it but ice cold lemonade and bread worked for me too!!! I also did sea bands (they helped a lot) and altoids. The peppermint kept the nausea at bay.

I'm 7 weeks pregnant and feeling miserable as well. I got some preggie pops and that's been helping a lot.

It's been a looooong while since I was in this condition, but I remember well in my first pregnancy how sick I was, especially in the mornings. It lasted about 3 months. Keeping saltines on my bedside table and eating them before I actually got out of bed helped. Later in my pregnancy, I would feel sick at the smell of food while cooking dinner, and I found that I could eat as long as I ate a bite of a dill pickle with each bite of food.

Things I've use for general nausea now are ginger candies I find at the health food store, they come in a chewie candy, as well as a hard candy, also ginger ale and gatorade.

Congrats on your pregnancy and hope you feel better soon.

BTW, my second pregnancy was a breeze, no nausea, I just ate like a piggie and gained lots of weight.

well i had morning sickness again this morning.. yes i am one of those ppl where it just doesnt stop!!!! anyway i find continuing to graze also helps.. the min. my blood sugar goes low i feel sick

When I had my DS I swore by graham crackers. Graham crackers are pretty bland. I would take a little bite and let it melt gradually in my mouth. I also found that if I ate a little bit all day I was better than if I let my stomach get empty.
