I had severe morning sickness with all four of my children. I later discovered that I’m magnesium deficient and I have no doubt it played a role in this issue.
I eat magnesium rich foods and also use a topical magnesium oil/spray which is more readily absorbed into the body. It can irritate skin, so I usually rub it on the bottom of my feet. Sounds weird, but it works!
Don’t remember the thread but things that have helped me somewhat over the years:
Eat small amounts of protein all day long. My favorite is beans. I cook a ton in the crock pot and each just a few tablespoons each time.
Peppermint (candy, oil, or lotion) helps me.
Dill pickles and pickle juice help me. This pregnancy I would literatlly carry around an old pickle jar (plastic) to smell just to help settle my tummy. Everyone laughed but it was worth it.
I have had hyperemisis with every pregnancy – I WISH something natural would help, but for me, b-12 shots (pills didn’t help if I was lucky enough to keep them down) and Zofran were my friends!
I specifically remember something about a braclet? or pressure point? Christie? Maybe… It’s been quite a while since the original post 6 months, a year?
But I am finding the vitamin and mineral subjects very interesting and something that would be especially helpful as a person prepares for pregnancy.
I used the motion sickness bands! I was so sick all four times. It didn’t help completely, but it did help some! I wish I would have had this forum to ask questions when I was going through all that!
Thanks Christie – that’s what I was looking for. Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like it’s being made anymore… and I”m kinda leary about buying a used one for so much money.
Not being made? That’s crazy! It is MUCH BETTER than sea bands. There is really no comparison. Try the travel company Magellans, perhaps they may still have some.
I had hyperemesis with both pregnancies as well and the only thing that helped was zoloft that dissolves under the tongue. I tried every natural remedy possible and realized those were only for “normal” morning sickness, which hopefully yours is! Congratulations on the pregnancy!
