I always had a bag of Cheerios and hard peppermint candies in my bag at all times. As far as real food went pretty much everything was unappealing...I managed plain noodles with a little bit of butter/parm cheese a few times, but the bulk of my diet was peanut butter sandwiches (sometimes with jelly). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-morning-sickness-cures#post-901411 Tue, 02 Jul 2013 13:12:44 +0000 heartonastring 901411@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hot water with ginger. I sipped on it all day and it really helped! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-morning-sickness-cures#post-901398 Tue, 02 Jul 2013 13:09:53 +0000 LuLu Mom 901398@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cracker or a granola before sitting up out of bed, cool showers (the heat made me sick), gum immediately following meals (switch the flavor up) and eventually I had to get on Zofran due to weight loss, and it is the miracle drug. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-morning-sickness-cures#post-901350 Tue, 02 Jul 2013 12:53:26 +0000 MsLipGloss 901350@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Crunching ice was the only thing that worked for me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-morning-sickness-cures#post-901347 Tue, 02 Jul 2013 12:52:01 +0000 heffalump 901347@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Last pregnancy I was fine as long as my stomach was full. This time meds are the only thing that helps. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-morning-sickness-cures#post-901291 Tue, 02 Jul 2013 12:34:14 +0000 Caly 901291@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Honestly, nothing cured it completely, only took the edge off to the point I could half-way function. Miserably, but function. Taking B6, Ginger Pill &amp; Unisom (took one pill at night since I needed to be awake during the day) along with Zofran (lifesaver) helped some. Like others have said, don't let your stomach get empty, ever. As disgusting as eating may sound, try &amp; find the lesser of the evils &amp; eat a bit of it. For me, cheese &amp; crackers, dried fruits, cashews, apples helped. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-morning-sickness-cures#post-901120 Tue, 02 Jul 2013 11:22:10 +0000 mrs. wagon 901120@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never let your stomach be empty, EVER! I had cheerios everywhere. In my purse, bedside table, etc. </p> <p>Protein right before your usual nausea times also helped me the second time around! If you can stomach it, that is...!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-morning-sickness-cures#post-901114 Tue, 02 Jul 2013 11:20:12 +0000 dolphin 901114@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh I remember those times. It was awful. I always carried ginger candy with me and that helped the nauseousness. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-morning-sickness-cures#post-901100 Tue, 02 Jul 2013 11:16:42 +0000 T-Mom 901100@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Saltines, ginger ale, orangina, san pellegrino, and gingery candy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-morning-sickness-cures#post-901093 Tue, 02 Jul 2013 11:15:11 +0000 MapleMoose 901093@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Grazing. I just kept eating small amounts of food all day. I had dry Cheerios in a container by my bed to snack on overnight and before I got up. Then grazing all day, mostly carbs and whatever sounded slightly appealing. I couldn't tolerate a full stomach so meals were very small but frequent. Also no belts or waistbands or anything that would put pressure on my abdomen. </p> <p>Hang in there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-morning-sickness-cures#post-901048 Tue, 02 Jul 2013 11:00:20 +0000 swurlygurl 901048@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I non-stop ate saltine crackers. I would go through 2-3 sleeves a day! I would eat them verrryyyy slowly to make sure my stomach was never empty </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-morning-sickness-cures#post-901044 Tue, 02 Jul 2013 10:58:50 +0000 Bluebonnet 901044@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had horrible morning sickness in my first trimester. The only thing that helped with Zofran. I would not have been a functioning member of society without it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-morning-sickness-cures#post-901005 Tue, 02 Jul 2013 10:49:49 +0000 Muggle Born 901005@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>B6+Unisom, taken at night, will increase appetite and decrease nausea vomiting the next day. I am almost 24 weeks and if I don't take it at night, I still have no appetite the next day and usually vomit about 24 hours after the missed dose. I had HORRIBLE nausea and vomiting in the first trimester. Hang in there - it gets better! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-morning-sickness-cures#post-900993 Tue, 02 Jul 2013 10:46:50 +0000 greenebee 900993@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Springtime: I felt the same way. So nauseous that nothing sounded good or smelled tasty ever. I suggest eating cold, 'watery' fruit like grapes and canned peaches. While they are sweet, they didn't bother me so much when they were cold. They were my main diet in the first trimester. And they aren't too bad for you! </p> <p>I also could eat Nacho Cheese Doritos for some reason and be ok with that...not sure if you want to go there, though haha! :wink: </p> <p>Good luck! Know that it will pass soon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-morning-sickness-cures#post-900843 Tue, 02 Jul 2013 10:02:24 +0000 wahine08 900843@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Like @Ash &amp; @Mrs. Bee I live by my unisom + B6. I had to up to a full tab of unisom and 50mg of B6, but I've been taking it since week 5 (I'm 12w) and I don't plan on quitting it until my nausea completely goes away!</p> <p>I've had the ginger candies in my past pregnancy and those helped (Gin Gins) but they don't with this one.. the ginger just tastes weird to me this time around. But it could work for you! It's kind of spicy.</p> <p>I eat 2 crackers before bed (like literally right before I pass out) and then 2 when I get up to pee in the middle of the night then 2 again when I wake up. It's either a Ritz cracker or saltine but I swear this helps me get through the worst parts of my nausea (evening and am)</p> <p>Also, if I ever have a small craving for chicken or eggs or cheese, I'll eat it. The protein really sticks with me and helps for the rest of the day. It's rare that I'm craving those things these days, though =( It's mostly mexican food and flaming hot cheetos haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-morning-sickness-cures#post-900838 Tue, 02 Jul 2013 09:59:30 +0000 cascademom 900838@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Saltines and applesauce, goldfish crackers at the bedside table to wake up to, crackers were definitely my best friend during early pregnancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-morning-sickness-cures#post-900822 Tue, 02 Jul 2013 09:55:47 +0000 Weagle 900822@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not much helped. The B6+Unisom combo made it a little better, but it would keep the puking to, say, 4x/day instead of 7. I ate bags and bags of animal crackers. They were the only kind of cracker that sounded good. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-morning-sickness-cures#post-900805 Tue, 02 Jul 2013 09:52:44 +0000 lemondrop 900805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Throwing up was the only thing that worked to make me feel "better" for the day, and it ended up being unavoidable about 10 minutes after getting up. Better is of course relative! After that I just did bland food, Sierra Mist (real sugar) and lemon lime Gatorade. It was never serious enough to me use rx needs.</p> <p>For me Unisom and B6 did nothing. I had horrible stomach acid, so I tried a lot of antacids, eventually Prilosec worked, but we didn't get to trying it until 20 something weeks when the throwing up stopped. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-morning-sickness-cures#post-900700 Tue, 02 Jul 2013 09:27:32 +0000 Foodnerd81 900700@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Re the unisom-- my midwife told me to take it at night and that it would continue helping in the morning. I only took it a few times and can't say whether it really helped or not-- I was so paranoid about it, even though EVERYONE including my midwife said it was 100% fine. </p> <p>For me, keeping bland food in my stomach at all times was the biggest thing. Like, never, ever be separated from you snacks, even if it's just cheerios in a baggy in your purse and next to your bed. The second you feel a twinge of hunger or nausea, have a little handful of cereal or saltines or ritz crackers. And get protein where you can tolerate it-- I felt better if I ate more protein but some just wasn't appealing. I lived on meatball subs for lunch for like 2 weeks straight. </p> <p>Ginger chews helped too, even though they tasted kind of gross. Good luck-- hopefully it will be short lived. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-morning-sickness-cures#post-900673 Tue, 02 Jul 2013 09:21:42 +0000 Boheme 900673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never let my stomach get totally empty. I felt so much less sick if I kept small carb loaded snacks on hand, paired with a protein I could tolerate. Peanut butter crackers, goldfish crackers, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-morning-sickness-cures#post-900670 Tue, 02 Jul 2013 09:19:35 +0000 Ash 900670@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsKoala: I don't know if people do that or not.. I'm tired enough - don't need something adding to the mix! Hahaha!</p> <p>I've tried to not take it and the nausea is still there so I know it's working!</p> <p>@Mrs. Bee: yes! This combo is genius! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-morning-sickness-cures#post-900659 Tue, 02 Jul 2013 09:16:34 +0000 Ash 900659@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Springtime: Yay!

So should you take that at night or take it in the morning? I've hesitated to take it because I wasn't sure when to actually take it. </p>
