Sea bands. The only things remotely saving my sanity.
"Morning" sickness could certainly be worse. I have actually puked three times, but not bad at all. Mostly, it's just been the constant nausea and, a few times a day, horrible gagging and dry heaving.
I've got crackers. They help some. Ginger Ale has been a surprising hit with my taste buds. I try not to have an empty stomach.
But nausea persisted.
Then, I remembered a friend wearing Sea Bands with her last pregnancy and asked her about them. She still had them in her desk drawer and let me try them.
Oh, the almost instant relief.
Nausea is not completely gone, but they take edge off and let me function a little better.
And they are safe. No meds. Just a button on pressure points - no harm to me or baby.
I've been a bit paranoid about wearing them at work, so visibly. In fact, not 5 minutes after I put them on the first day, I had to come up with a cover story when one of my team members came to my desk and asked about them. (Told her my migraines had been getting bad again and they help with the nausea from them.)
But, the relief I feel is so worth the possibility of being found out.

Mine were pink, red, and white stripped. They looked like something a 5 year old would wear, so that is what I told people. My niece gave them to me :)
Glad you are getting some relief! I hear ginger hard candies are good too. Hope this passes soon!
