I heard that drinking lots of water. Doubling your normal 8-8oz. glass intake.

The only thing that worked for me was red grapes. Weird huh? But mad did they work.
Some other things I tried that ~sorta~ helped..but not much…everyone is different though.

IN ORDER:

Preggie Pops..I think it was grape ones that I could tolerate. Switching to cinnamon toothpaste (because mint made we want to barf). Ginger tea..yuck, but it helped. Constantly nibbling on saltines. Lemon heads (or lemon drops), or whatever those little sour lemon candies are. But RED GRAPES where my life saver.

With my first pregnancy, my morning sickness was relatively mild and Preggie Pop drops helped a good deal. This time around it was much worse, and the only thing that helped this time was peppermint tea. Celestial Seasonings makes one that is just pure peppermint leaves, and I would drink a cup anytime I felt the nausea coming on. It didnt cure it completely but did take the edge off. Good luck!

sour stuff. I would not have lived without lemon drops, etc. I knew my boss was pregnant when she started bringing in sour stuff with her second pregnancy. (I had told her this tip previously.) Good luck and remember it gets better!

(Also, if you wait too long in between eating, it gets worse, which is hard to avoid when nothing sounds good. . .)

Did you take the combo at night? (I’m guessing so)

Yeah, I had forgotten about the regularity problems with Zofran. Urrrgh. The Lemonade and Fries from Chik-Fil-A sound incredibly good right now…. luckily there’s one near me! I’ll get some Lemonheads, too…

I remember reading about Unisom and B6 — I’ll check it out. I hate taking a bunch of meds but this is getting ridiculous… I’m game for anything at this point.

So sorry you are feeling this way. I struggled with morning sickness all nine months, but not to this extreme. What helped me was chewable papya extract pills, altoids pepermints, and ginger tea. Hope you feel better!
