Those pregnancy pops? Do they work?

Question

I have seen them in the lollypop form and just the candy form. Do they really work? And are they worth the 5.00.
Do they make you feel like you are not sick at all!
Or do you have another idea on how to keep morning sickness from being so bad!

Let me know!!
Thanks!
I am thinking to picking them up tomorrow.

Answer 1

I have heard they do since I think they have ginger in them which is a natural herb that reduces nausea. I would stick to saltines and sprite (or any other clear carbonated beverage) to reduce nausea. I would be worried it would make me sicker if I got a weird tasting pop. But its worth a shot. It might work. Good luck!

Answer 2

I bought the preggy pops thinking they would probably be a waste of money...as it turns out...the actually worked pretty well for me...and a friend of mine...

My only advice is...if you can...Get the Preggy Pop Drops (the little hard candies) cause the pops were just too big...I ended up smaking the pop on the counter before I'd open it...and then just eat a piece of it...

Also...be careful of the flavors...they have some seemed really icky...and others that didn't seem too bad...the sour ones...are a little hard to take...lol

Another thing that really worked for me was to just remember to eat. I know the last thing I wanted to do was put food in my stomach...but I quickly figured out that if I ate some crackers or a banana or something mild like that...it really helped.

I had to quit the coffee (even decaf) and anything carbonated...cause the bubbles just made the nausea worse.

Anyway, good luck...and definately give the candies a try.

Answer 3

i have some of those pops, i didnt really have the morning sickness though. I'm sure they work. i read on the back that they help when you are in labor for the dry mouth and nausea that you get then.. those are def. going in my suitcase to the hospital :-) anything that helps is GREAT!!

another thing that helps with nausea is anything peppermint! i find when i go up to the mountains and my husband drives like a maniac up the windy roads, i chew some really strong peppermint gum like dentyne ice and it helps me to not get motion sickness. so you may want to try it next time you start to feel sick to your stomach

Answer 4

Try a lick of plain salt. It used to work for me. Also I read that the caramel coloring in colas (soda) helps ease nausea. Good luck and I hope it passes soon dear...

Aslo try keeping saltines next to the bed. I found if I ate one or two BEFORE i got out of bed, it did a lot to ease the sickness once I got up.

Answer 5

never heard of them i had no morning sicness at all just some heartburn with most italian foods around 6 mo. but all i know is crackers and 7 up a freind of mine had to get really strong pills that cost 75$ each she couldn't even keep water down i forget what they were called i know they give them to cancer patients ask your doctor about that and try jello maybe?

Answer 6

I had LOTS of luck with them, I still have some because I picked them up at the late end of my morning sickness... they're not very tastey, but they DO help:) Good luck hun:)

Answer 7

I've never heard about these, then again I was never sick when I was pregnant so that may be why I had a need for them. Good luck with your baby on board!!

Answer 8

I had ZERO luck with them. In fact a few of them actually made me dry heave. There are some really odd flavors that are supposed to calm nausea, it only intensified mine.

Answer 9

I know my wife tried them. Trying to remember... I think there was only one flavor that she ended up bothering to even really try (ginger flavored maybe?), and I don't think they were enormously effective.

Nausea sucks. It is $5.00. Probably worth trying, anyway.

Answer 10

I got the sour ones and it just helped me keep my mind off the nausea. Usually sucking on a lemon helps.
