StaceyinLA Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 I need some fresh ideas. I never had any serious morning sickness, so I wasn't one of those who had to keep crackers on the nightstand or anything like that. One of my girls' friends is pregnant for the first time and has been asking my dd a lot of questions. My dd didn't really have issues either. I told her I would ask the hive. I don't think she's dealing with HG or anything like that. It's early in her pg and it'll be a few weeks before she sees a dr. She's just throwing up as soon as she drinks water and stuff like that. What do you suggest to eat before getting out of bed to maybe combat that? Also, if you couldn't stomach water, what are some suggestions for getting plenty of water through other methods? I recommended a weak decaf tea, lightly sweetened to up fluid intake, maybe some chicken soup or broth, popsicles, etc., but I don't want to recommend a lot of junky garbage for someone who is trying to grow a baby human! Thanks for any input! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greta Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Ginger tea might help both issues: the nausea and the need for hydration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greta Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 This video is really interesting. Wish I'd known this back when I was pregnant! https://nutritionfacts.org/video/morning-sickness-may-protect-mother-and-child/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Tons of protein. It sounds counterintuitive but eating some nuts or even an hamburger first thing helped me so much. Carbs made my blood sugar go on a rollercoaster and the nausea much much worse. Saltines are the devil! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Oh and I second the broth! Miso with green onions was my best friend the last two babies, and I tolerated it better than chicken or beef broth for some reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happypamama Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Protein, lemonade. I haven't had a lot of issues with morning sickness though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HollyDay Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Limeade and salt/vinegar potato chips were big helps to me. So was bacon cooked until very crispy (preferrably in a microwave). I could not drink water at all, unless it was melted ice. But, I could suck on ice chips. And I liked a splash of cranberry juice in crushed ice. I could drink the water from the melted ice. Broths were good too. I did go on to develop HG with all pregnancies and needed a lot of medical support. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elizabeth86 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Nothing helped with 1 and 3. No hope. The dr offered a rx for nausea, but I toughed it out. With this one, just eating even if I didnt want food kept what nausea I had away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
school17777 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 I kept Jolly Ranchers around to suck on as soon as I started feeling sick. It seemed to help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kassia Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 My doctor recommended foods with a combo of salt and fat - like pizza or chips. For me, each pregnancy was different in what I could keep down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waa510 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 It's bizarre but sucking on lemon slices helped so much when the waves of nausea would hit. Seriously a life-saver for me with oldest Dd's pregnancy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ktgrok Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Have any of you had success with the nausea suckers, ginger candy or anything of that nature? Trader Joes has ginger mints that helped a lot. Also, just read a blog post (The Fike Life) where she swore by something called the Pink Stork? https://pinkstork.com/shop/starter-bundle/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emcap Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Trader Joes has ginger mints that helped a lot. Also, just read a blog post (The Fike Life) where she swore by something called the Pink Stork? https://pinkstork.com/shop/starter-bundle/ I used pink stork with this pregnancy (just had my baby a week ago!) and it helped tremendously. Don't get me wrong, it was still horrible, but I was able to get off the sofa for a bit each day. I found it was important to incorporate all parts of the program. It's expensive but was worth it for me. Im sick throughout pregnancy and pink stork gave me back the will to live 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

musicianmom Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Breathing peppermint and ginger essential oils has helped me with mild nausea. I haven't had the opportunity to test it out while pregnant, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
