Help with Morning Sickness???

[LokiDog]

Thanks, I let her know right now! She is at work and is miserable

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

Sucking on jolly ranchers helped me. I normally don't like them, but sucking on them was better than the alternative. I also took me prenatal at night, with food.

Ginger is supposed to help, in whatever form she'd prefer, even drinking ginger-ale can help. Ginger didn't really appeal to me, but I was able to drink some ginger-ale mixed with orange juice.

And like someone already mentioned, B6 is supposed to work for some.

My sister-in-law was so sick that she was loosing a lot of weight (she was very thin to begin with) and she ended up in the hospital because of dehydration. Her midwife put her on a prescription to help with the morning sickness and it really did the trick. She'd take one pill every morning and she'd be fine all day.

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
