THE morning sickness poll- what worked for you?

Waiting four months worked great

Actually, nothing really worked for me, except for one of the hardest things was showering--the steaminess made me so pukey! That was pretty much solved by Burt's Bees peppermint soap. the very strong peppermint scent really helped.

Different things worked for different pgs. W/my first, preggo pops and peppermint tea really helped. I didn't have any m/s w/my 2nd and w/my 3rd (this pg), I took a doc's advice and took some b vitamins. Those worked really well! Hth and good luck finding what works for you!

Somewhere around month 3, the deep nausea turned to heartburny nausea, and I still faithfully took Diclectin (a B6 and antihistamine combo) and eating every 1-2 hours. Then in January it got really! bad, like where I was burning every 5 minutes and water felt like vinegar burning down my throat. Then I tried Zantac, and it helped, but it or the Diclectin or the combo of raised my liver enzymes! so I had to quit. Thankfully I also realized through running out of cheese one day that part of my problem was eating dairy! I quit dairy and Zantac and Diclectin, and am now eating every 2 hours (sometimes more often or less often) and also taking Tums when I need to. And really hoping it will end when the baby is born!! It has been a long time and some days feels like heartburny morning sickness will be a part of my body always (must have faith...must have faith...)

I didn't check any of them because, of the one's I tried, noting worked for me... BUT protein shakes ended my morning sickness within 2 hours of the first one! Turns out my body was just so depleted of protein and all the other wonderful nutrients whey has to offer that I was really sick. I mean, I could barely even stand up long enough to walk to the bathroom... I was that weak! I couldn't eat, I was gagging nonstop. I felt like I had constant motion sickness. But yeah, protein took care of it.

With my first pg I didn't get sick so long as I made myself eat a few bites of food every 1.5-2 hours. This pregnancy was a whole nother story!

Those PICC lines are great arn't they? The longest my IV's would last was 30 hours and I hated daily sticks but LOVED my PICC! Plus it meant I could just hook up and the pump would watch for air bubbles and stuff and I could sleep

I had 'morning' sickness with motion sickness this time around...

I took homeopathic sulphur for the m/s part of it- if I took it the second I felt nausea coming on it usually kept me from throwing up. I took Hylands Motion Sickness remedy anytime I had to go somewhere to keep from throwing up while driving/riding. The worst of it was over around 16 weeks thankfully, but now I get occasional waves of nausea again now that I'm almost to the end of the pg.
