Uh Oh - Morning Sickness While on Trip

[DisneyPhD]

Been there, done that, last year TODAY!!!!! Last year we took a WDW trip Jan 1 to 7th and I was 8 weeks pregnant. I was really sick 24/7 with my 1st pregnany for 5 to 6 months, was ok for 2 months, then it started again. I saw my Dr. a week before the WDW trip last year and explained my worry of vomiting around WDW. He took pitty on me and prescribed Zofran. Yes it is pricey. ($30 a pill , thank God for health insurance.) It did really help (and baby is currenlty 5 months old and doing great.) It really was a life saver for me. Once I start throwing up, I can't stop and it did break the cycle.

However I felt great for most of the week while at WDW. Just being there, it was so exciting and fun, we were so busy, fresh air, exersize, lots of good food to eat. No problems. The funny thing is our friends who went with us found out she was also pregnant the day they came left to come down there. So she was 4 weeks and I was 8 for the trip.

I also tried every other thing under the sun to aleave the nusaua. Lemon and ginger did help some. I found these lemon/ ginger cookies that I just love, I wish I had them then. Carr's Ginger Lemon Cremes, English Tea Cookies, yummy. I keep lemon drops with me at all times too. Jelly Belly sours are also great.

Congradulations and have a great trip and pregnancy.

First off, Congratulations on your new pregnancy! I was down in Disney at the beginning of my second pregnancy as well. Actually, the morning sickness was worse with my second pregnancy, I don't know why. Hopefully you can continue to keep eating, so it doesn't seem too bad for you. You can do the usual, bring crackers and small snacks to tide you over between meals. And drink plenty of water. One thing that I found that helped me very much during my second pregnancy was the mint Mentos. I don't know if they are available around where you live, but they helped me tremendously! I hope that you have a great trip! We will be down there during the end of January, so I'm crossing my fingers that the weather is nice for both of us!

Offical word from my Dr. at that point was I could do anything I felt up to. (My friend was opperating under the same idea since her Dr. told her she could go white water rafting when pregnant the 1st time, she might die, but she could go, she didn't.)

I road Dinosaour, Mission Space, (Hey I was already throwing up, it didn't make me sick at all) The safari ride. I only road those since they were the only ones we happened to ride (hubby, friends hubby and niece road a few more, but we sat out with the kids.) We loved BB, but no major water slides since a large gush of water can enter the women, causing possible problems. We did lazy river, wave pool and kiddy area and had a blast. Water slides on a raft are ok.

At that stage the baby is soooooo small it really isn't a issue. I have road every WDW ride so many times that I didn't mind missing them at all, but this next trip I am doing them all!!!!!!!!

I, too, drove 24 hours to WDW while nausea hit constantly at 5 months pregnant. For some reason it was very hard for me to drink anything, although I do remember lemonade and Sunny Delight being OK. One thing I'd like to say to try is watermelon. It does nothing for the nausea but the water content is so high that its great if you aren't drinking enough. There was a period of time when it was all I could keep down. I was also told to take a half a tablet of Unisom daily for the nausea by my Dr. Good luck!
