What's the best cure for morning sickness?

Question

I'm 2 months pregnant, and I have terrible morning sickness. Although it's not only in the morning, I have it all day long. Nothing seems to get rid of it. Please HELP!!!

Answer 1

Okay im going to be honest with you, the only cure, is to have the baby! I know that sucks, but I had it terrible too, all day, couldnt even eat crackers. I just cried all day. Finally, It went away my 4th month. But guess what? Im 31 weeks pregnant, and its baaccckkkk! Due to hormone levels rising once again. But it is a lot worse on an empty stomach. So always try to keep something in your tummy. The things that I could keep down the best, were baked potatoes and grahm crackers. Grease made me throw up instantly, so you may want to keep away from anything greasy! Good luck, I hope ive helped. I know how bad it is, hang in there!

Answer 2

I feel your pain. I had terrible morning sickness and nothing really helped. I even hated the way my husband smelled! My pukeyness got so bad that I had to get an IV to replenish my fluids and I got a prescription for Phenergan which kind of helped... but mostly just made me sleepy.
Hang in there! Mine finally went away after the 3rd month, so you're almost there... it's just going to feel like the longest couple of months you'll ever have to live through.
Oh, and my mom would always assure me (she's a nurse) that morning sickness was normal and it's just a sign that everything's going well with the baby.
Good luck and congratulations!! ^_^

congrats hope this helps


The tips below may help reduce morning sickness.

Eat small meals throughout the day so that you're never too full or too hungry.
Avoid rich, fatty foods.
Avoid foods with smells that bother you.
Eat more carbohydrates (plain baked potato, white rice, dry toast).
Eat saltine crackers and other bland foods when you feel nauseous.
Try gelatin desserts (Jell-O), flavored frozen desserts (popsicles), chicken broths, ginger ale (nondiet), sugared decaffeinated or herbal teas, and pretzels.
The iron in prenatal vitamins can bother some women. If you think your morning sickness is related to your vitamins, talk with your doctor and he or she may change your vitamins.
Wearing "acupressure" wrist bands, which are sometimes used by passengers on boats to prevent sea sickness, may help some women who have morning sickness. You can buy the bands at boating stores or travel agencies.

Nausea and Vomiting

Usually called "morning sickness," nausea and vomiting are common during early pregnancy. For many women, though, it isn't limited to just the morning. Although it can seem like it will last forever, nausea and vomiting usually go away after the first trimester.

Try some of these tips to help prevent and soothe nausea:

* Eat frequent, small meals (6 to 8 small meals a day) rather than 3 large meals. Avoid fatty, fried, or spicy foods.
* Try eating starchy snacks, like toast, saltines, cheerios, or other dry cereals when you feel nauseated. Keep some by your bed and eat them before you get out of bed in the morning. If you feel nauseous in the middle of the night, reach for these starchy foods. It's also a good idea to keep these snacks with you at all times, in case of nausea.
* Try drinking carbonated drinks like ginger ale or seltzer water in between meals.
* Ask your doctor if you should change prenatal vitamins if it seems to be making your nausea worse. Sometimes taking your prenatal vitamin at a different time (e.g. at night not in the morning) can also help.
* Ask your doctor about taking vitamin B6 for nausea and vomiting that doesn't get better with dietary changes.

If you think you might be vomiting excessively, call your doctor. If you lose too much fluid you might become dehydrated. Dehydration can be dangerous for you and your baby.

For some women, the nausea of the first trimester is so severe that they become malnourished and dehydrated. These women may have a condition called hyperemesis gravidarum (HG). HG refers to women who are constantly nauseated and/or vomit several times everyday for the first 3 or 4 months of pregnant.

HG keeps pregnant women from drinking enough fluids and eating enough food to stay healthy. Many women with HG lose more than 5 percent of their pre-pregnancy weight, have nutritional problems, and have problems with the balance of electrolytes in their bodies. The persistent nausea and vomiting also makes going to work or doing other daily tasks very difficult.

Many women with HG have to be hospitalized so they can be fed fluids and nutrients through a tube in their veins. Usually, women with HG begin to feel better by the 20th week of pregnancy. But some women vomit and feel nauseated throughout all three trimesters.

Answer 5

First off Morning Sickness was named by a man who only saw his wife in the morning before he left for work so he was clueless.

Try keeping a baggie of crackers or cheerios(cereal worked better for me)on your nightstand and eat a few every time you wake up to pee and before you get out of bed for the day. Also sucking on peppermint candies or drinking mint tea helped me I also crunched ice all day because I threw up if I tried to drink water(I never understood it) Plain spagetti and rice and most starchy foods seemed to help some what. For most women it seems to be a trial and error thing because each pregnancy is different

Answer 6

I k ow exactly what you are going through I had morning sickness all day and night with my last daughter I found that even though it is hard to eat it really helps I ate alot of crackers and eve though alot of caffenine is not good a little coke helps ease the nausea alot but also I had to get a pill from my doc because mine was that bad so if it gets worse I would say talk to your doc about it

Answer 7

I tried tons of things, the only thing that worked for me was ginger, either ginger tea or just a middling sized chunk of candied ginger.

I also found it was less severe when I was sure to stay well-hydrated, including keeping a water bottle by the bed so I didn't get too thirsty at night.

It does eventually go away, mostly, but it is generally worst from about 8 weeks to about 16 weeks, so hang in there & congratulations. :)

Answer 8

The main cause of morning sickness is a combination of issues related to the chemical changes your body is going through. Mix a pinch of nutmeg powder with a table spoon of gooseberry juice, and take it thrice a day. Sip little by little ginger juice mixed with honey before you get out of bed.

i try ginger candy its help!

There are a number of remedies for morning sickness. These include:

* Eat small, frequent meals. When the stomach is empty, it produces acid that irritates the stomach lining. In addition, an empty stomach can cause low blood sugar, which can also cause nausea.
* Eat foods high in proteins and complex carbohydrates. Protein foods (e.g., eggs, cheese, and yogurt) and complex carbohydrates (e.g., whole-grain breads and cereals, dried beans and peas, and baked potatoes) discourage stomach upset and are also beneficial to both mother and baby.
* Avoid foods and beverages that do not sound appealing. Pregnant women usually experience at least one food aversion. The more appetizing a food appears to be, the more likely it is to stay down.
* Stay hydrated. Dehydration can worsen nausea, so pregnant women should drink plenty of fluids. If a woman has an aversion to fluids, she can eat foods with a high water content, such as watermelon, grapes, and other fruits.
* Try a vitamin B6 supplement. Vitamin B6 reduces nausea in some women, and is not harmful in recommended doses during pregnancy. Women should consult their healthcare practitioner before taking supplements.
* Eat or drink ginger. Ginger (Zingiber officinale) settles the stomach for some women. Ginger tea and foods made with ginger (such as ginger snaps) are usually available at grocery or health food stores.
* Try an herbal infusion. An infusion, or tea, of two parts black horehound (Ballota nigra), one part meadowsweet (Filipendula ulmaria), and one part chamomile (Chamaemelum nobile), taken three times a day, can soothe morning sickness for some women. Women should always consult their healthcare practitioner before taking herbal remedies during pregnancy.
* Wear sea bands. Sea bands are elastic bands worn around the wrists which place pressure on the inner wrist, an acupressure point for controlling nausea. They are usually used for controlling carsickness and seasickness.
* Keep the mouth fresh. Mints and regular tooth brushing can decrease excess saliva. Using a mouth rinse and/or brushing the teeth after vomiting is a good idea to control tooth decay and lessen stomach upset.
* Stay well rested. Fatigue and stress can make morning sickness worse.

Allopathic Treatment

Some women with extreme cases of morning sickness may develop a condition known as hyperemesis gravidarium (excessive vomiting during pregnancy). These women are at risk for dehydration and insufficient weight gain, and may require bed rest and intravenous nutrition and fluids if vomiting cannot be controlled.

Several antiemetic, or antivomiting, medications are available for pregnant women. Antiemetic medication should always be prescribed by a physician familiar with its use and with the patient's medical history. Antiemetics may be contraindicated (or not recommended) for patients with certain medical conditions. They may also interact with other medications.

Expected Results

Morning sickness treatments have varying success. Some women will find one or more remedies that can completely cure their nausea, while others may remain sick throughout their pregnancy. In addition, women expecting two or more babies usually experience heightened morning sickness due to the higher level of pregnancy hormones in their bodies, and may suffer from nausea and vomiting for a longer time than women with a single pregnancy. However, for the majority of pregnant women, nausea stops or at least diminishes by the end of the first trimester.

Prevention

The best cure for preventing bouts of nausea is to eat frequently. Many women find that eating six small meals or snacks a day (morning, mid-morning, noon, afternoon, evening, and bedtime) prevents stomach upset. Getting adequate rest can also help to keep morning sickness at bay.

Answer 10

Never ever let your stomach get totally empty thats the worst. Saltine crackers are great for morning sickness with a glass of soda. (sprite, 7-up)
