Post by MDKiller1 »

Hello Everyone :)

Ive been having morning sickness really bad as of late. If you have seen my going out of collecting post you know ive ended up in the hospital because of it. Well since then it has got alittle bit better but not much. An im sorry im getting tired of throwing up..lol

Well my questions is. Do any of you know ways to "cure" morning sickness?

If you do id love to hear about them

Thanks
Dee

I found these suggestions in a Google search :)



Try taking your prenatal vitamins later in the day.

Vitamin B6 - 50 mg. daily. Vitamin B6 has been shown to help with pregnancy induced nausea. There are also products available now which contain therapeutic doses of Vitamin B6. One is B-Natal TheraPops are cherry flavored lollipops which have been shown to reduce pregnancy morning sickness. Another Vitamin B-6 enriched product is called Morning Sickness Magic. Morning Sickness Magic is a herbal remedy containing Ginger, Vitamin B-6, Red Raspberry Leaf and Folic Acid.

Ginger in capsules form 250 mg. three times daily can be beneficial. Ginger has long been associated with alleviating nausea. You can also get the benefit of using ginger by chewing on crystallized ginger or sucking on ginger hard candies.

Avoid warm places as heat can increase the nausea feelings.

Take naps during the day (but not right after eating). Tiredness plays a big part in morning sickness.

Get enough sleep at night.

Get out of bed slowly in the morning.

Try eating plain crackers or dry cereal before you get out of bed in the morning.

Open windows or turn on exhaust fans when cooking and after meals.

Cooking in the microwave usually produces less odors.

Silly as it sounds, carry a handkerchief with a few drops of a non nausea causing essential oil (lemon for example) in it and breath through it if you can't get away from the smell that is bothering you.

Avoid greasy or spicy foods as they often cause nausea or heartburn.

Eat what you want when you want it. Your cravings will not lead you the wrong way.

Have frequent protein snacks. (Low fat meats and seafood, nuts, eggs and beans are high protein.)

Eat smaller meals every two hours or so.

Eating something salty before a meal can help you "make it through" a meal.

Do not drink fluids with your meals.

Non caffeinated teas like peppermint and ginger can help came nausea.

Drink small amounts of fluids regularly though out the day to avoid dehydration.

Do not skip meals if you can help it.

Avoid spicy and fried food - both eating and smelling it can increase your nausea.

Cold food may have less nausea inducing smells associated with them.

Dr. Wallace says that food is more important than sex.

1. A robot may not injure a human being, or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
2. A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

Morning sickness is something that just occurs in a few lucky people. It will pass. I know that does not help now....
Some of the methods/ avoidances listed will help to a certain extent but time will end it. Your provider will be on top of it and take further action if you loose too much weight or energy.
Your body is just adjusting itself.......Pretty soon you will be eating for two and enjoying yourself
But the end product is so worth it. God Bless ! :D

My Mom said (a long time ago) that taking her vitamins before bed/with dinner helped ease her morning sickness. I've heard her mention the part about crackers in the morning too.

I've found that taking my prenatal vitamins right before I go to bed has helped alot, also I just eat whenever I am hungry, but not enough to make me feel full, cause that is when I seem to get the most nauseous.
