so nauseas

[waitn838]

although i am still worried about my u/s next week i am trying to figure out how to deal with this all day nauseas....im a graduate student and its so difficult right now to do all my readings, type my papers, sit through classes and keep going....im tired all the time and so nauseas (just started yesterday)

does anybody know anything i can do to help the nausea?

i guess its a good sign that i have this new symptom but wow...never had this before with any other preg so its all new to me

oh, I have also noticed for my that popcicles or ice cream can help with the nausea, but really cold drink make me feel sick! I don't know why maybe because they go down faster?

you can find the bracelets (there are 2) ate walmart, target, walgreen, REI, ect. they have helped some for me, but my doctor has also had to put me on medications for the nausea (i'm 10 weeks now an have been on for 2 1/2 weeks so far it helping, but makes me tired)  Good luck and hope it gets better for you soon!

thanks for the advice...im gonna look into that bracelet and carry crackers around with me

for me the only thing that helped was finding the comfort foods, and eat them when I felt REALLY bad.  With my first pregnancy if I felt sick I'd have a smoothie or banana and then I'd feel better.  This time, I'm having a hard time finding stuff.  When ever I eat I feel sick, although staying away from some foods did help.  Also, you can try the small meals, however that didn't work for me, for me I get sick when I eat, so the more often I ate the worse I felt.

Broth soups helped a lot as well.  I think I lived off of soup for most of all of my pregnancies.

ive been taking them in the morning so i dont forget...ill try taking it at night...thank you for the info...i forgot that my friend had to get one of those bracelets...she said it worked so i may have to look into that

you can try eating small meals over the course of the day (if you don't eat the nausea will get worse) and drinking things like ginger...dry toast and crackers paired with ginger ale are the diets of a LOT of newly pregnant women, hehe.

but if it gets to the point where you can't control it with at-home techniques (there are plenty you can find to try if you wait, a lot of these women will have some good advice that worked for them) there are things called sea-bands (elastic bracelets that have a ball that puts pressure on a pressure point on your wrist to decrease nausea) that sometimes help, or you can talk to your doctor about a prescription.

do you take your prenatals in the morning? sometimes it's helpful to take them at night.
