The only things that helped me were ice water, crackers and cold clementine oranges. And laying down a lot.0

Ginger ale, eating every 2 hours..usually carbs. Don't eat and drink togehter...wait at least 30 minutes after eating to drink anything. Hope this helps...oh yeah peppermints0

thank you i will try these 0

Milk or milkshakes, this will help the lining of your stomach if your getting sick a lot. Milkshakes are great cos the sugar give you some extra energy.0

Eat before you get really hungry - I find if for whatever reason, I wait too long, I get sick. Carbs help me. I have also read that carbs and a bit of protein is supposed to help too. My is worse in the morning, so right after I pee, I make some breakfast, eat,and then lay down for 10 minutes before I have to get up again and get ready for work. Taking it easy helps. Oh and don't eat greasy at night - at least for me, it makes me sick. Also I just found over the weekend, organic ginger hard candies at Hannaford, help with the queasiness a bit too.0

hi, i dont really have any great fixes but just wanted to tell you your not alone - am 7 weeks and also sick almost all day long...the only thing that helped with my last two pregnancies was getting medication from my Doc to stop the vomiting so you can always ask for something if it gets really bad to the point that you cant keep anything down!
its so tough though as i had planned on being all healthy this pregnancy but its so hard to do when you feel sick all day! good luck!!0 -
Im also 7 weeks & what works for me is to eat right away as soon as I wake up. Also for some reason string cheese makes me feel better. Today was a bad day tho & the only thing that helped was sprite

My MS has continued well into the 2nd trimester (I'm 17 weeks) and I've JUST recently discovered animal crackers I don't know if it's the combo of carbs and sugar, but they really help me feel better if I eat them as soon as I wake up 0

I had to get medicine. Dissolving zofran are wonderful. I was like this with my son too. I take pheneigan and zofran. Nothing else really helped0

Eating often works for me. Generally if I'm feeling super crappy it's because I haven't eaten. I don't eat more, I just eat more often. So, I take about an hour or 2 or eat my bagel in the morning eating it a quarter at a time. Good luck hun!0

A friend of mine said protein helped w/hers. She'd eat small meals every couple hours that included some protein. As long as she did this, she was ok.0

Try not to let your stomach get too empty. Saltines were my best friend, and ginger in any form. Peppermint tea and peppermint hard candies help. You might also want to look into something called Sea-Bands. They are accupressure wrist bands used for nausea due to sea, motion, and morning sickness. I had nausea into my fifth month with my first son, and they saved me!0

Great tips! I was about to post a similar question regarding this involuntary fasting.. searched and found this thread. Thank you all0

Eating before you're hungry, and for some reason plain chocolate ice cream (full fat) made me feel AWESOME 0

Hi! I had really really bad morning sickness at the beginning and it was hard! I am 20 weeks now and feeling great but if you would have told me this 8 weeks ago I wouldn't have believed you.. I was so sick I lost about 8 lbs- hoping it helps to know there is a light at the end of the tunnel for most people and hopefully there will be for you! By about 15 weeks I was a lot better.
I recommend the Preggie Pop Drops- sucking candies made for morning sickness. They worked for me. You can get them at maternity stores including Destination Maternity or Amazon. I also was able to drink cappuccino blasts from Dunkin Donuts, usually was able to eat tea biscuits and sliced apples. Drinking was tough- try very very cold drinks with a straw.
Hope you feel better soon! Hang in there!0 -
I have to 2nd the Sea bands. I am 7 weeks and felt awful until I bought one. CVS or Walgreen for $10- money well spent0

I am in the same boat. I have only thrown up a few times so far but I am nauseous most of the day...especially at night. I find that eating often (little bits) helps. Being too full or hungry is a recipe for disaster for me. I have not been able to eat much as far as meat and fruit/veggies and am surviving on carbs. I try but they pretty much disgust me right now. I have some greek yogurt protein bars that I love and I have been able to tolerate eggs so far. Lemonade and iced tea helps me. Also, any sour candy, sea bands and Unisom helps (doctor approved). I take it at night (usually only half a tab) and it helps through the next day until noon or so. It does make me drwosy but I would so rather be sleepy than pukey.0

at my worst I was throwing up 16 times a day or more, I had a picc line put in at 8 weeks to get fluids and intravenous zofran, you might find that if normal things aren't working you don't have normal morning sickness, but hyperemesis don't be afraid to ask your Dr for info or medicine for it! I lost 20 pounds those first two months and was so dehydrated I was hallucinating, after 3 trips to the ER they put the line in. I"m now 35.5 weeks and still nauseous 24/7 but the actual vomiting is better controlled now with the zofran and phenergan. good luck, I hope it tapers off for you!0

I found this post on pintrest http://everydayroots.com/nausea-remedies and thought it might be helpful for those of us who are feeling neaseous! 0

I was really surprised by this, but Unisom. The drug in Unisom -- doxylamine -- was originally developed as an antiemetic. It's used as a sleep aid because that was a side effect, but in Canada and Europe a combination of doxylamine and B6 is commonly prescribed for morning sickness. Apparently it's starting to be used in the US again. (It was off the shelves for a while because people kept suing saying it caused birth defects, but study after study after study has shown it to be completely safe. In fact, it's probably one of the safest drugs a pregnant woman can take.) When I told my doctor I was taking Unisom, he offered to prescribe the doxylamine/B6 combo, but I don't have insurance so it's cheaper for me to just buy it over the counter.
I seriously wish I had known about this sooner. I have had HORRIBLE morning sickness with all my previous pregnancies, and have been on prescription drugs to combat it. Unisom is the first medication I've taken that helps AND (even though it's a sleep-aid) does NOT knock me out! I love it. This has been the best first trimester of pregnancy that I have ever had!
If you're interested, start by taking about half a Unisom (12.5mg), and 10mg of B6 every morning. It will help.
(OH! Just check the box before you buy! Some Unisom is actually a different drug, the same thing as Benadryl. You want the one that says doxylamine.)0
