Help with Morning Sickness???

[JenBKR]

That's true about prenatals, I had to take mine at night with food and I was ok (not too hard since I had to constantly eat anyway). I saw at Motherhood (maternity clothing store) these lollipops, called mommy pops or something like that, that are supposed to help. I never tried them, so I don't know if they work, but I understand being to that point where you'll try anything!

Have you considered acupressure? If not, your daughter might give it a try. There is a spot on the inside of the wrist, say, 3 finger widths or so from the wrist fold. Feel around for the tendons there and there's a spot in between the tendons. She'll know when she presses on it b/c it'll be a little sore. She can press on it or massage it while doing deep breathing. Tell her to relax and not tense up or grit her teeth while pressing, just to give it a good pressure but not excruciating. It'll just be a sore spot when she hits it. It really does work for morning sickness, motion sickness, all kinds of nausea.

There is some kind of tea...I can't remember which one, that is supposed to help. And, there was some sort of little sucky candies, too. LOL, don't remember those, either. I bet if you google it you will find it.

I never had morning sickness. In fact, I ate like there was no tomorrow from day one to delivery. LOL, and then spent the next 5 years trying to lose it all.

Are you thinking of chamomile or also comfrey?

Vitamin B6/folic acid is supposed to work very well. Does her dr have no ideas?

Even a friendly pharmacist might be able to advise on something non-drug, or a high quality natural health store.

Dr. say's grin and bear it, it should go away soon he says, but he's never been pregnant. And it's just in last 2 weeks that it has been getting so unbearable. But it is her first, so she has nothing to compare it to. I know my first was horrible, and the rest - not so bad. By the time she came along, none at all.

She is trying the acupressure now, I am hoping it will get her thru the rest of the evening

I'm sorry your daughter is so sick. I never got morning sickness at all with either of my two kids but it sounds just horrible Poor thing! I can't ever wish for something like morning sickness, but I may not have gotten so darn fat with my pregnancies if I had morning sickness, my problem was that I wanted to eat non-stop with my pregnancies. At some of the maternity stores like Motherhood Maternity, they sell these little lollypops called "Preggy Pops" and many of my friends who suffered from morning sickness said they were wonderful.

I have a friend that carried around slices of lemon and would smell it if she started feeling sick. It seemed to really help her. *shrugs*

As a former pharmacist I used to recommend mint/peppermint, flat gingerale or ginger tea and something called SeaBands (http://www.sea-band.com/seaband.htm). You can buy the Seabands at your local pharmacy. But if the N&V doesn't stop there are medications that your daughter can use. There comes a point in any pregnancy where if she isn't eating or keeping anything down it can cause problems for the baby (because they are not getting enough nutrition). If this continues past three months, she should re-evalute the situation with her MD.

Good luck
