mommaduck Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Zofran was my Zofriend. Ginger snaps. Whoever told me oatmeal lied though. Ugh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BugsMama Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Unisom and a B6 before bed! It's a game changer. You should call your OB and ask about it- for me it was the difference between being hospitalized with an IV, and being able to manage at home with zofran and compazine.

Onceuponatime Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 By the fourth child, I had figured out that I had to stay away from gingerale and drink a tea with ginger instead. The sugar in the gingerale made me feel yucky. In fact, protein in the morning was my life saver. I would eat peanut butter and banana on whole wheat sandwiches, or a homemade egg mcmuffin type thing- just the ham and cheese if I couldn't face an egg. Cereal in the morning was a no-no. In fact I felt much better eating more fat and protein and less carbs when I was pregnant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momto10blessings Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 lemon, lemon water, lemon tea, lemon candy peppermints, peppermint tea ginger ale, sprite saltine crackers *** I don't get morning sickness nearly as bad as a lot of people. I am always quesy, but only vomit about once a week*** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsabelC Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 The only totally effective one for me was: Be not pregnant :tongue_smilie: The one that helped me the most was keeping some crackers in the bedside drawer and nibbling one before I got up in the morning. Not even raising my head, but just carefully reaching for the crackers and nibbling lying down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlebug42 Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 The only totally effective one for me was: Be not pregnant :tongue_smilie: :iagree: This and a couple days on IV fluids. :lol: Besides the zofran and compazine, the only thing that ever helped was lots of sleep and eating what is appealing. With my youngest, the only thing I could keep down was cheeseburgers and plain cheese pizza from Pizza Hut. Totally counter intuitive but that is the way it was.

MiniBlondes Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 One thing that really worked for me was those motion sickness wristbands. I think they're called Sea-Bands. I got some at the drug store and I wore them constantly until I was 15 weeks pregnant. If I ever tried to take them off, my nausea was worse within 5-10 minutes.

Stratford Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Ditto to the Unisom/B6 combo....this has been life changing. This is pregnancy #4 and this is the only thing that has ever helped keep things to a manageable level. (I do still take zofran, but that wasn't working on its own.) Otherwise, I avoid sugar, avoid anything carbonated, eat protein, eat frequently, have DH do all the shopping and cooking, and avoid walking into the kitchen whenever possible.

LittleIzumi Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 EAT ONLY WHAT SOUNDS APPEALING,!!! Candied ginger Anything sour (grapefruit, sour candy, Granny Smith apples) Mint Fountain Cokes Chocolate ice cream (the cheap kind or Frosties) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErinE Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Time and for the bad cases, zofran. I kept it controllable by eating constantly. I always have above normal weight gain the first 15 weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meggie Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Wake up, don't eat anything, get in the shower, dry heave, get out, eat whatever I want :D I know it's awful, but it's the only thing that saved me through three pregnancies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jpoy85 Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Sour Patch Kids Frozen Mt Dew (from Speedway) Only things that worked for L. N and C werent that bad. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjzimmer1 Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Zophran, nothing else touched it. I tried the Unisom/B6 is just put me in such a brain fog I could hardly function and yet I still puked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunnylady303 Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Giving birth. :D On a more helpful (maybe) note, I agree with eating before I moved my head in the morning. Almonds were good for that for a while. So was cereal. But :grouphug: - I hated morning sickness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoLuRu Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Fresca Black Cherry Citrus soda. Worked better than ginger ale for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Marple Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 (edited) Wake up, don't eat anything, get in the shower, dry heave, get out, eat whatever I want :D I know it's awful, but it's the only thing that saved me through three pregnancies Pretty much the same. I would just give in and hurl. That would get me over the worst part. Trying to keep from vomiting was far worse than just doing it :tongue_smilie: And if I had trouble getting it to come up, all I had to do was look at the grotesque wall paper in the dining room, the pumpkin orange countertops and fake brick floor in the kitchen. For some reason, things I found visually obnoxious would work wonders to put me over the top. Edited August 24, 2012 by CynthiaOK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdventureMoms Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Zofran. Protein. B6. Never, EVER letting myself get hungry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MariannNOVA Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Lemonade and potato chips at the same time. The sweet and salty helped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WiseOwlKnits Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Compazine, Tigan, Reglan, and Zofran. Lather, rinse, repeat. LOL! (I had Hyperemesis Gravidum.) They didn't eliminate it, but at least made it so I could hold down a few bites of food here and there. My only true remedy is not getting pregnant. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k2bdeutmeyer Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 So, did the B6 and Unisom really work for anyone?? I've never tried it. I had Zofran with my last 2 pregnancies and it was enough to take the edge off. I don't have any this time though....and since I can't get in to my dr, I can't get any, so I'm desperate and willing to try anything. I'm at a non-functioning level right now. Not puking, but I sure feel like I could any second...all.day.long! My poor kids probably think I will never leave the couch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should call your OB and ask about it- for me it was the difference between being hospitalized with an IV, and being able to manage at home with zofran and compazine. Yup-for 4 of the 6 this was all I needed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
