Tricks for Queasiness and Nausea

[USCgirl]

So it seems that fun all day queasiness and nausea feeling has hit hard!  What do you all do to keep it at bay?  I have tried eating small meals, but it's hard when nothing sounds good and it's hard to want to eat.  Last pregnancy, I think I remember taking Tums every so often, but would like to stay away from meds if possible.

Thanks in advance for sharing your tricks!

Ginger Tea with Honey or Ginger herb.The tea works faster.

Sour candy, lemonade, peanut butter

Seabreeze acupressure bracelet. For sea/motion sicknessApparently it's a life changer? I haven't tried it yet though, as my ms isn't really bad.

I second sour candy!

[dazdareis]

Yumm. Sour candy!

I got ginger altoids- haven't had any major nausea yet but I've heard even smelling ginger can help!

[themrsjrd]

Wow, sour candy, really?!?!

[countingthestars]

I'm not sure if you would qualify this as a med but vitamin B6 is good for nausea.

[lycih]

sour candies (I like lemonheads and the chewy sour sweet tarts), ginger chews, iced ginger tea/ginger ale, lemonade and other tart citrus-y things.
Oyster crackers.
Not having to be involved in the making/organizing of your own food. I ate out so many lunches in first tri last time because I was much more likely to be able to eat if my meal just showed up in front of me, than if I had to do any level of preparation at all...

Gin gins (ginger candies) and preggie pop drops. And limiting your diet to only toast

[jumpingpuddles]

I tried just about everything- B6/Unisom combo, Dramamine, sea bands, ginger chews, eating small meals... those were what my doctor had me try- they work well for many people!

I've tried almost everything. Small meals, sour candy, b6, etc. I'm going to try the preggie pops because I've been sick from when I wake up until I go to sleep.

Haven't had too much nausea yet and had very little last time, but I always kept ritz crackers by my bed and ate a few before getting out of bed in the morning. And I know it seems counter-intuitive, but whenever I felt nauseous I found that eating something light helped keep the nausea at bay.

I've found it worse when my stomach is empty. So I'm drinking tons of water/tea and eating saltines a lot.

Thanks ladies! I have to say...peanut butter worked today! Weird, but it worked, so thanks sweett11 for the suggestion. It seems to come and go and is definitely worse at night. I also tried graham crackers today and that also help for those who wish to try.

I'm glad it helped. English muffins with peanut butter and jelly after delicious. My previous ob said to not let your stomach get empty if your ms is bad. Like literally keep crackers next to your bed and eat them before you get out of bed.

I grab the carbs...mainly crackers.

Lemon water!

mine seems to get worse as the day progresses so eating something every two hours is about the only thing that has helped me so far. And by eating something, I actually have to eat a small meal. Crackers weren't cutting it, but if I eat too much then I feel like crap too ha.

I've found this is the case with me too. I was afraid I would make myself more nauseous but crackers did nothing.
