What was the thing that helped you most with morning sickness?

Eating little snacks regularly

I had it all the way until 5 months and was all day everyday

Eating!!!

I’m 9 months and still vomiting some days. Nothing worked for me completely but- ginger biscuits, eating very small bits and snacking, vitamin b6, anti sickness tablets, sea sickness bands, peppermint tea. The best thing is just to eat something tiny, even if it’s just a cracker, when you’re feeling nauseous. And keep hydrated- find a drink that doesn’t make you feel sick. X

Ginger biscuits and actual stem Ginger

Vitamin b6 and eating little bits even tho it was hard to eat at all

Lemon water or smelling lemon essential oils

Ginger biscuits

I ate Weetabix with milk and sugar on top within half an hour of waking otherwise I was sick. The plain flavour and a bit of sugar helped a lot. Also if I woke in the night I would drink a pint of milk and that stopped me being hungry and then feeling sick. Eating all the time, like every hour eating something with a bit of sugar to keep me levelled.

Lemon or mint really helps me. So like a sherbert lemon, or a mint polo. Ginger didn't seem to do anything but those two do!

Ginger beer/ale and eating plain oat cakes first thing in the morning. It’s counter intuitive but eating always helped

just never letting yourself get hungry! I am never not nauseous but that helps me not feel as sick or at least not throw up

i try to eat every 2/3 hours even if it’s just a little snack
and before you get out of bed eat some crackers or something before baby figures out you’re awake😂

i’m 31 weeks and 4 days and i still throw up 6+ times a day, something mf that helps me is eating something small AS SOON as i wake up and drinking cold water w lemon juice also see if your dr can write you a prescription for some zofran or promethazine

Cold lemonade helped me!

Anti sickness meds

Ginger ale and bananas saved me.

Ginger biscuits and breakfast bars, mine got so bad I had to snack every hour sometimes half an hour, lucozade sport helps massively too, weirdly water made me sick aswell 😩 if really bad get medication, I had to

And it lasted until 15 weeks and eased off from then… got it back in third trimester though

Unisom sleep aid (doxylamine succinate) and vitamin B6 is the only thing that made mine manageable. That and snacking constantly. I see you're not in the US so I'm unsure of if you can get unisom

I found that If I woke up feeling sick, that was it, I was sick the whole day nothing would help

But if the sickness came at some point during the day usually some stodgy food would help x

I'm sorry to hear you're feeling so poorly.
Peppermint has been helpful for me (preferred to ginger for me) - I have kendal mint cake on me at all times in case I need to have a little corner to keep sickness at bay (unfortunately, not always possible).
Would recommend talking to your Midwife who can put you on anti sickness medication - you'll likely still be nauseous but shouldn't be sick as much.
Hope you're feeling better soon x

I usually feel mich better after being sick, in the early weeks, the days i wasn't sick I felt worse. If it helps, morning sickness sick is not the same as normal. Mine is usually quite watery and I don't get that burning feeling in my throat. Its still not pleasant but its nowhere near as bad

Eating a whole meal every time I felt nauseous was the only thing that helped! Defo not little and often for me!

The short answer is: nothing will stop you from feeling sick. And trying all the things people recommend are often not very healthy so just set you off on a bad course.
Mental toughness and knowing it won't last forever, are what it takes. I can say that from experience, and I wish someone had said it to me first time I was pregnant because I ate shit loads of ginger biscuits, dry crackers, and fizzy drink, as everyone suggested and just ended up fat (and still feeling sick)!

I had it really bad and ended up on anti sickness medication. The one I'm on is called Xonvea and it has made my life bareable again! Works really well for me. I was at the point where I couldn't keep anything down and was getting dehydrated so had to resort to medication. I still get waves of nausea but am rarely sick since going on it. I also found lemon helped- hot water with lemon slices was my go to drink as it took away the horrible taste in my mouth too.

For me it was eating little and often. I found if I had an empty stomach I felt more sick but equally eating big portions made it worse too so I would try and eat something small and snacky every 1 and a half hours rather than big meals. Ginger is also meant to be good

Absolutely nothing at home helped with 2 pregnancies, only very regular trips to the hospital for a drip

Banana first thing in morning and breadsticks little and often through the day.

Spicy noodle soup - nice strong flavour, nutrients, carbs, and plenty of fluids in it

I’ve threw up maybe 5x a day during pregnancy up until maybe 16 weeks before it started decreasing to 1-2x a day for the 2nd trimester. It’s different for everyone and some don’t even have this symptom so don’t be scared of the timeline, it might go away soon for you.

Definitely stay hydrated and eat! I found it hard to eat bc of the nausea but please force yourself for your own sake and the baby. Ginger (fresh ginger or ginger candies), eucalyptus/menthol oils (I used POISAN but vapor rub is similar), anti nausea tea, motion sickness relief bands/stickers. I’ve tried everything on the market and it didn’t stop the morning sickness but definitely helped curb it a bit. Fresh ginger worked the best for me; I had it alone, in tea, and cooked with it as well

how is trying the things we recommend not healthy? I haven’t even seen unhealthy suggestions in this thread. Not sure what ginger biscuits are though so maybe that’s what you are referring to?

@Karry it's not like what you call a biscuit in the states. It's like a hard cookie but made with ginger, and usually much less sugar.

@Jessica when you're desperate enough, you'll try everything and anything. I've tried plenty and guess what - have barely put weight on by 22 weeks.
Just because they didn't work for you, doesn't mean they won't work for someone else.
This "mental toughness" stuff is malarkey

Don’t let your stomach get too empty.

When I was about 2 months I couldn't even for about 2 weeks and was constantly vomiting and lost about 12kg in the second week but I got medicine from my GP to help with that and then I didn't have anything till like 7/ 8 months pregnant and I was vomiting at work so I had to go on leave early and couldn't do anything cus it felt like a workout and I'd get so sick

I’ve been using sea bands and eating very small amounts of easy food (like cheerios) in the morning. It’s been really helpful.

Saltine crackers

Throwing up can make it feel better, but I found that the bouts I had of it during the day were helped by wearing sea bands, sucking on lemonheads, and drinking Gatorade.

Taking ginger chews and anything ginger drink helped

Pink Stork Nausea Sweets

Medication from gp, nothing else stopped it x

Ice lollies, I would never normally eat them but whilst eating it and for a short period after I don’t feel sick. It’s the only time I don’t all day at 15 weeks pregnant. I am really hoping it passes soon though! Sipping water throughout the day and eating little and often is how I am tackling it. Things like grapes, raw carrot and cucumber sticks help me personally. Hope it passes for you soon too!

When I had nausea/sickness I used the anti- nausea wrist bands, they’re just a bracelet basically with a ball that goes on the inside of your wrist. They helped a lot xx

Anti sickness travel bands and seabands ginger drops, got both from amazon x
