Morning sickness... - The DIS Discussion Forums

locolala · 11-15-2009, 05:15 PM

Does anyone know any good remedies for morning sickness? I have an RX for Zofran, but I'm trying to avoid it because it causes some other stomach/intestine issues that I'm not too fond of. I have Bonine, which is something similar to Dramamine, my doc recommended it. It helps some, but I'm really trying to avoid meds in general, because I have to take my pain meds and that's enough for me. I have peppermints, but all they make me think of is being sick because the only time I suck on hard mints is when I'm sick! Anyhow, any other good remedies? I'm getting really tired of this, and I've lost 7 lbs since last week!

Have you tried the preggie pops or preggie drops? The motherhood maternity store here has them. I didn't end up needing them, but I remember spotting them and telling DH that if I ever felt bad, that was where he was to go, immediately. I had some Zofran from the anesthesia for getting pregnant, and I did take one. I didn't have any side effects from that, but it sounds like you have some previous experience.

I tried it all and nothing worked for me. Unfortunately I had a job I *had* to go to everyday and I couldn't function. So my doc gave me a prescription for Pheregan suppositories. I broke then in half and used a half dose a day. While the nausea wasn't totally eradicated, it was gone enough for me to function and I didn't get sick from the meds because, well, they went in the other end!

B6/Unisom combo works wonders. My Doctor ok'd it as do many others. I would take 25mg of B6 with 1/2 Unisom (the orginal tablet NOT the gel) at night and again around 11AM if I needed it. My MS was more from 1PM on, peaking around 6-7PM so I took it later in the day and then at night. Sometimes I'd take 50mg and a full Unisom at night and wouldn't need anything during the day.

Check with your doc but most ok it.

Early in my pregnancies, the only thing that would settle my stomach was Lay's potato chips, eaten very, very slowly.

Congrats on your pregnancy!

laurafergie · 11-15-2009, 06:02 PM

I swear the only thing I kept down with all my children was ramen noodles, saltine crackers, and HOT HOT chicken broth, maybe chicken noodle soup if I was feeling adventurous.

Morning, afternoon and night sickness absolutely put me under, and I had my kids when they wouldn't give any meds. Think bland, white salty foods. No, they aren't too good for you, but, take your vitamins and you'll be fine on that end. (Birthed 4, healthy, 9+ lb babies) There is an end in sight. By the second trimester you'll be a new woman. I feel for you, I've been there.

Wanted to add that I used to do this or eat saltines before sitting up and getting out of bed in the morning, and it helped a lot.

Try smelling lemons. This worked for me.. Need to scratch the rind some and smell that

Liberty Belle · 11-15-2009, 06:10 PM

The only thing that helped me was Zofran. I completely understand, though, why you don't want to take it. It did cause an unpleasant condition (but when I made sure to drink a lot of water and eat fiber, it was better) and I remember at times wondering which was worse.

I couldn't function without it, though, so I had to take it.

Good luck!

yeah, phenergan and sleep. don't wake up for a few months. then you should be feeling much better!!!!
i had TERRIBLE pregnancy sickness. took phenergan for all 3 pregnancies. for the last one they gave me a round of prednisone too. it did help. make sure you are well hydrated. being dehydrated will make you worse.

GONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!

SueM in MN · 11-15-2009, 07:08 PM

I was another one who had to use anti-nausea suppositories in order to eat anything.
One thing that helped me was eating frozen things - I ate frozen fruit, frozen vegatables, thawed just enough to eat them. It seemed like having them frozen took away a lot of the flavor and smell. At least enough that I could eat them without a lot of trouble.

simonsmom · 11-15-2009, 07:30 PM

salty potato chips and lemonade

All About The Mouse · 11-15-2009, 07:39 PM

Look into ginger candies. They are shaped like a carmel and they are pretty chewy. They help settle your stomach.

clovergirl5 · 11-15-2009, 07:41 PM

sipping room temp water and peppermints helped me. I couldn't stand the smell of anything. That would make me want to hurl

The smell when I opened a loaf of bread about killed me...blech The water probably helped more than anything. I have heard ginger is supposed to settle a stomach. Maybe pill form, gingerale or gingersnaps?

Hope you feel better soon. Its all worth it in the end!

BLTtinkerbell · 11-15-2009, 07:42 PM

The only thing that worked for me was drinking milk w/Ovaltine. I would have a glass right when I got up in the morning & then I would be able to eat a small breakfast a short time after. I had to buy Ovaltine to leave at work. I was a preschool teacher, so we had milk there.

My neighbor found that if she took a piece of bread & ripped off small pieces & then rolled them in a ball, she could eat that & feel better.

She swore by it. I did try it but Ovaltine was better for me.

Good luck. It won't last long & then you will feel fine. Congratulations!
