I had mild nausea for a few wks and just waited it out with my vernors (ginger ale) and oyster crackers.
Did you take anything? did it work?

I used the preggie pops drops. They tasted good but not sure how much they actually helped.

I used ginger drops, saltines, and ginger ale. No meds, just constantly queasy until almost 20 weeks.

I tried all the natural remedies (preggo pops, ginger, saltines, etc.) and nothing helped. Not even a little bit.
I took Zofran every 3 hours and an anti-naseau suppository (sexzy!) for overnight.

I take zofran sometimes. It doesn't work as much as I'd like it too. Especially when I have a migraine and the nausea is crazy bad..... I'll take a zofran before going to the ER and still throw up so they have to give me more.

I tried everything (including prescription drugs) and nothing worked!!!!

I used the Preggie Pop Drops when I couldn't eat (work meetings for example), or if a smell was too overpowering. Grazing, eating small amounts continuously worked better though.

Yup, I took preggie pop drops at first and then moved to B6 and unisom when things got terrible and that helped me out a good deal.

I had terrible morning sickness and my DH saw preggo pops at babies r us and looked it up on the spot to see if they were helpful at all. I don't know what he read but he said that people say it's just like jolly ranchers, so we went to get jolly ranchers that night and that did help me quite a bit! ^_^

@mrsjyw: I'm not yet pregnant and have no idea what preggy pops are. But I, myself, will be very hesitant to take any medication for morning sickness when and if I ever do get pregnant. (Says the girl with no pregnancy experience....) My mom took a morning sickness pill in the 70s when she was pregnant with my sister (I think it was DES and/or Bendectin) and my sister was born with a whole in a her heart and other serious issues that are believed to have been caused by the morning sickness pill. The pill was taken off the market in the early 80s but no conclusive link could be found between the pill and all of the health problems caused to the babies born of moms who took the pill. I recently heard, however, that the FDA was again approving that same morning sickness pill my mom had taken. There's no way I would take it. Preggy pops may be totally unrelated but I just wanted to give my two cents about my indirect experience with morning sickness medicines.

Unisom + B6 is what I've been taking since week 6 (I'm 14w) and I'm still planning on taking it for a couple more weeks! I'm afraid of how nauseaus I might be without it!
It definitely helps!

I tried to get through with ginger ale and saltines, but I got morning sickness to the point that every time I stood up, I threw up and ended up severely dehydrated, high blood pressure and swelling in my kidneys. So, I ended up on diclectin and it was A-MAZING instant turn around.

I took Preggy Pops and they did nothing for me.. But I was puking a lot.. Urgh!

i did crackers (triscuits YUM) and pistachios and pregger pops.
Pregger pops were just yummy to eat, the salt in the other two sort of helped a little.

Zofran for me. Even now at 34 weeks... its the only thing that has worked!

No meds for me. I relied on crackers, bread, and ginger ale when it was bad.

I drank ginger ale and had ginger candy. And made sure i always had food in my stomach. Mine seemed more related to blood sugar sensitivities than anything....but mine wasn't very bad at all. If it'd been bad, I'd have hit up some zofran!

Zofran from 7 weeks on. Week 6-7 before I got the prescription was miserable... like having a constant hangover without drinking, though I never puked. Did think I was going to 3 times though, but I'm generally not a puker. I WISHED I could puke. 1 Zofran a day did it for me until about a month ago and I've been able to wean to every other day now at 27+2.
@mrsjyw: I LOVEEE Vernor's!!!!!!! Best ginger ale ever!

Zofran has been a complete life-saver for me! I've been taking one a day just about every day since about week 7-- I only ever need the one, but OH BOY is it bad if I skip it. (Here is where I don't tell you the story of barfing in my office trashcan like a total pregnancy cliche...oh wait. Oops.)
Carbs help, too, and I'm willing to eat as many crackers as it takes.

Sure did! I was on diclectin from weeks 10-16, and mainlined gingerale and these ginger candies for weeks. Still didn't help entirely, but at least took the edge off!

I always had a stash of ginger chews from trader Joe's, carbs, and ginger ale.
