Try sucking candy. They even make specially flavored ones for pregnant women, called "preggie pops" or something.

An empty stomach is your worse enemy. I found crackers too salty to be eating constantly. Cheerios became my snack of choice. I kept them with me ALL the time, and just munched on them.

Sip liquids slowly.

Try the accupressure bands. I used them. I think they helped a bit.

Mizz Khan.. you will have to try a lot to see if it works.. nothing worked for me.. I tried jolly ranchers, popsicles, crackers, ginger ale, imli, but nothing worked for me!! I also had this weird metallic taste in m mouth and it would go awa only if I ate so I tried chewing gum.. it made m mouth dry and helped a bit!!

and another thing that helped me was sucking on a frozen grape... yep that helped with nausea and kept me hydrated so I didnt have to end up at the hospital every other week for IV.

I craved spicy food for two days but then that gave me a massive heart burn.. I threw up so bad that I still cant eat that food!!

At 18 weeks, the nausea didnt go away but vomiting is definitely less than before.. don't have high hopes for 12-16 weeks.. I was coundtingd own to the days and I think I still am!!!

BUT try to stay dehdrated.. do you like fruits? try watermelon these days!!

are ou taking your prenatals? sometimes they can make you nauseous too!

Re: Help feeling nauseous

just so you know iron tablets can make you more nauseous.. I was anemic but my midwife didnt put me on iron tablets due to severe all day sickness!!

and no worries, I was told that mommy's sickness means healthy baby.. so anything for that :-)

Re: Help feeling nauseous

try drinking kanjvi ( i THINK that's what it's called) It's fresh lemon and lime juice!

Re: Help feeling nauseous

W.salam. Boil some pieces of ginger and one stick of cinnamon in 2 glasses of water so that approx 3/4 glass is left. let it cool and sip slowly. adee lemon and honey if you want to. It's good for nausea and colds too.

Re: Help feeling nauseous

I agree with Sahar, if you eat something you'll feel much better. I didn't throw up too just extreme nausea. Nothing helped me really. My whole first trimester was hell! As soon as you hit second trimester, you'll start feeling better.

Re: Help feeling nauseous

nothing worked for me but ice...try eating one or two ice cubes from your freezer.

someone actually suggested it (i forgot who).

Re: Help feeling nauseous

Also, check about B6. It's supposed to help.

Re: Help feeling nauseous

I tried the preggie pop candies and didn't like the taste at all, they were hard candies the apple flavored ones...what did work was the regular sour candies like sour patch kids, sucking on them helped a lot! also the sea bands are worth a shot, they did help me for awhile..you have to take them off and put them on again after some time to work and are not meant to be worn continously for the whole day...as everyone has said this phase goes away once you enter the second trimester around 12-15 weeks so you can look forward to that :)

Re: Help feeling nauseous

Listen... Straight up.... This is how is gonna be for the next 2 months..... And if u are unlucky... For the next 9. Its better to eat and throw up rather than do so on an empty stomach. Same thing with nausea... U will feel like xrap regardless... Better to eat amd feel nauseous... Im soon gonna be starting my final tri.... Had super duper nausea too... Couldnt do much bout it... Still need to eat to have a hralthy pregnancy. Im also anaemic ... Red meat isnt a friend but i force down the stuff cuz its imp.... Supplements just arent the same. (im on triple the amount )... Id love to give u some tips to overcome the nausea... But nothing worked for me .... If the vomitting gets really bad.... Ure doc can prescribe u some medicine... Other than that... Everyone has given u some real good advice... :)

Mizzkhan.. khawa is absolutely right.. i felt like i was able to vomit easily with a full stomach than the empty one.. it was less painful! keep eating!!
