I was very sick with Daniel- way past the ‘12 week’ marker. Before him I was pregnant but not sick….and similarly to you, lost my first child before 12 weeks. Have been sick this time but not as badly. Not being exhausted really helped (easy for me to say with only one other child) I was working full time first time around. I used to suck little lolly pops and eat salt and vinegar crisps (very healthy I know!) None of the ‘traditional fixes’ seemed to work for me.This time marmite on toast seemedto help. I have heard that accupuncture helps though…..if you like needles! I remember not being able to get my hair cut because I didn’t dare go and sit in the hairdressers….I would have thrown up.

I have a friend just coming out of her first trimester that recommended B-6 and accupuncture. She said neither cured it completely but at least made it bearable. I’ve seen a product called Morning Sickness Magic in a couple of places now. It has B-6. Good Luck!

I wish I had a fabulous idea, but with Bear I tried all of the above remedies and then some and was still sick as a dog (hopefully, Wrigley isn’t offended when I say that). Basically, just tried plugging my nose and ended up throwing up a lot. The smell of my sewing machine made me vomit, as did fresh air. So, all I can say is that I pray for you often and am so proud of you I can hardly express it.

Love ya.

I feel your pain. I had horrible morning sickness (actually it was night sickness). I have since read that vinegar will help. I didn’t read this until after I delivered but I would have tried anything. I can’t rememember now why it was supposed to work but it was related to the pickle craving. The real ginger ale seemed to help me a bit. I also tried those preggy pops and the sea bands they didn’t offer me relief but that have both worked for friends,

The only thing that worked for me was “Sea Bands” They are bracelets that hold accupressure on the underside of your wrist. Available at CVS or Walgreens, etc. $10. The best $10 I have ever spent. Good luck.

With each of my babies it was different. With the first one, I sipped Dr. Pepper (from a fountain, not a can, it really does make a difference) and nibbled on Ritz while I drank it. It worked. For that one I could not tolerate the smell of meat AT ALL. I smelled the meat counter the second I walked in the grocery store. Hubby took over cooking the meat part of our meals while I laid down.
With number two the only thing that really worked were those REALLY big dill pickles. I slowly nibbled on it over a couple of hours. I also ate popcorn chicken like it was going out of style. It was the only “real food” that stayed down. Still couldn’t tolerate raw meat, or even cooked ground beef for that matter.
And for number three (boy after two girls) ground beef was all I could eat. Go figure. I had a plain cheeseburger (mustard, meat, and cheese) from DQ nearly everyday. Hubby would bring them home to me. I also noticed that milk was making me more nauseous so I switched to soymilk for that pregnancy.

My philosophy was find something that stayed down - and eat THAT. A LOT. =)

I’ve also had friends that swore by ginger or peppermint but I don’t like those so I didn’t even try them. Hope you find something that works!

Have you tried ginger? Not cheapo ginger ale that really barely has any ginger at all, but real ginger? I’ve used it in capsules, as tea and crystallized/candied. It works well! You can also buy spendier *real* ginger ale in some stores, often in the natural foods section. Hope that helps!
