let's make a list of foods/drinks that help with nausea

[callmeKD]

what's working for you?

[callmeKD]

my go to drinks are (1) hot water with lemon (I lived on this when pregnant with DD) & (2) Yogi's stomach ease tea.

[LadyNymeria]

Peppermint tea

[rufus426]

The Gin-Gin ginger hard candies. They are a little spicy though.

[bean]

Water with lots of fresh lemon juice. I had horrible nausea and vomiting with DD and sucking on jolly ranchers/hard candies helped.

[pismoduo]

The same company that makes those seabands also makes a ginger gum. Works like a charm.

Also, sour jolly ranchers are my jam. And diet 7-up.

People keep telling me to drink ginger ale. Guess what people? Most ginger ale has almost no actual ginger in it.

[callmeKD]

I'm also sucking on a life saver right now.

I was coughing so hard I thought I was going to puke. Not something that I'd like to do while at work.

Oh god, your spoiler was my entire weekend. Nothing like major nausea and a chest cold at the same time. I'm going to have to start making H go through some sort of decon when he comes home (he works for a child care/early learning center).

Canada Dry does! Schweppes not so much.

I have been eating soda crackers, i have jolly ranchers, seven up is good to. I found ginger tea is good, but I had to read the ingredients as a ton of ginger teas have blackberry leaves in them.

I love these! They were the only thing that worked for me last time and I had nausea the entire pregnancy. Thanks for the reminder. I'm ordering some ASAP.

These helped me a lot with DD. I couldn't do the gummy ginger candy, but these I could stomach.

Jolly Ranchers were my pregnancy crack last time around. I ran out halfway through the work day and my desk-mate pulled an entire bag out of her desk and handed them to me without saying a word. Insert "did we just become best friends??" GIF here.

[madam23]

Seaband advocates... do you use the regular kind or the one geared specifically for pregnancy? I'm debating whether the extra $$ is worth it, or if they're essentially the same thing.

[thekatezombie]

Most of the stuff that helped me last time has been mentioned. Ginger in general, hard candies, sour candy, crackers, small frequent meals and snacks, sparking water/ginger ale/other soda (may or may not be helpful, depends on the person).

Eating small amounts frequently has been most effective for me, at least to the extent that aversions allow.

[NJgirl84]

Ice water, preferably with lemon.

Slow eating all day, and mostly carbs like cereal and pasta.

I tried butternut squash soup last night because the thought didn't nauseate me, not the best choice. Felt horrible the rest of the night. I think too much of a veggie bomb after basically barely eating veggies for almost 2 weeks. I miss them!

[mrsjene]

I'm no help. I only get nauseous AFTER I eat. It's still early, so who knows if that will change.

That's starting to become the norm for me, too. The last 4 days, I'm super nauseous after eating, but totally fine even if my stomach is 100% empty. That's part of the reason the gum seems to work best - it doesn't really add much to my stomach, but helps settle everything down.

[singingsea]

I haven't been nauseous a lot during this pregnancy but my go to is orange juice and toast.

There is no difference between regular SeaBands and SeaBands Mama except the color.

I'm totally fine when my stomach is empty then BAM! 

[danielle]

I've been living on Chex Mix. That's the only thing that I've been able to hold down. I still feel nauseous, but I don't throw it up.

Thank you! I figured as much.

Peppermint tea and Cape Cod Plain Potato Chips.

[LadyNymeria]

cbowl - Someone at work earlier was talking about Cape Cod chips and it made me want some. Now you're talking about them and I REALLY want some. Too bad the damn cafe at work closed at 2pm. Doubt there's any in the vending machine...

They are the best chips!  Especially while pregnant!  You should definitely grab some on the way home after work

They would have gone wonderfully with the chicken noodle soup I had for lunch!

I've heard that tart apples (like Granny Smith) can help, though I've never tested the theory. I didn't have nausea/morning sickness with my other pregnancies, but who knows whether I'll get lucky again this time.

I could really go for a tart apple right about now...
