Thanks guys! You are super helpful (as always). I've switched jobs and moved since we had our last little pumpkin - so I'm in search of a new OB doctor and haven't been in yet (with an hour drive each way and sometimes a 3 hour wait (always more than an hour), I just can't afford to block off 5 hours for each prenatal appointment by sticking with my previous OB). I'll see if I can figure it out this weekend and get in this week. I did have some trouble early on with DD6 and ended up being told to 'take it easy' for most of the pregnancy, so I'm just going to be happy to be able to go and not worry about the things I'm missing out on. Thanks for all the advice, nausea has already hit me some (normally shortly after I eat) so I'll probably be careful what I eat (a sip of my sister's milkshake yesterday was a bad idea...) and take along some crackers, just in case. I've never seen the ginger drops at the store, but may check on
Amazon if I can't find them locally. Truthfully, I've had nausea, but was always able to keep things where they belonged with my first two pregnancies; so, I'm hoping that will be the case with this one as well!
Theoretically, if rides like the teacups didn't make me too nauseous, would they be considered safe? How about the Silly Symphony Swings (one of my girls favorites, but my dad and DH won't ride it due to motion sickness issues - same w/ the teacups. Oddly enough, my dad can do the coasters)? I've read that g-forces and impact are normally the worrisome items, and these rides don't seem to have that issue (just the possibility of inducing nausea).
