Amazingly

My name is Kalex Hampton I've been an ob/gyn for 6 years i found out that I was two months pregnant 2 weeks ago.lol. I think this morning sickness is going to be the death of me. Is there anyway at all that even doctors like me don't know about to reduce the multitude of mornings i have morning sickness?

If you can locate an acupuncturist who specializes in fertility issues, you might try acupuncture.  It is said to help severe morning sickness as well as providing pregnancy support in general (improving blood flow to the uterus, etc.)

It was something about how introducing the semen into your body helps it recognize it and all this other stuff

Well he didn't say to perform oral but basically yes to swallow lol. I wish I had the link there were a lot of comments from women who had done it and felt better. I just can't imagine doing that and feeling better lol

Emetrol and snacking on crackers or just original salty potato chips helped me out majorly. Also eating a small snack every few hours helped.


So swallowing is supposed to help with morning sickness?!?!

You can def tell a man made that up!! Lol

I read a study online (mind you this was just a theory) that a Dr in new York I believe was doing. He said morning sickness was caused by a number of things including your bodys reaction to sperm. His theory was that if you swallow a bit of your husband/bf whatever's sperm that it reduces morning sickness by 75%  He was actually getting positive results! Now I don't think I could stomach performing oral while pregnant let alone being sick but hey who knows it could work for some women I suppose. I just thought it was an interesting article lol

Nobody really understands it until you've gone through it. My ob is a male and he always says things like, "I know the second one is hard..." Really there is no way for him to know so it makes me laugh. I had horrible morning sickness for the first 14 weeks of both my pregnancies and none of the tricks helped me except promethazine. I still have a sensitive stomach so I keep around ginger ale but I think you just get use to the nausea after awhile. I'm in the medical field too but I still have ended up in the ER twice from dehydration so as hard as it is push fluids because after throwing up for just a few hours it's easy to spiral quickly when there is two on board. Good luck!
