: : Forget morning sickness - try 24/7 sickness. Does anyone have any ideas on something natural that helps. I'm sick from morning until I fall asleep at night. Some vomiting but mostly I fell so sick that I just eat toast and sip fluids or eat popsicles. I avoid greasy foods etc and don't eat large amounts but I am just constantly super nauseous and burping all the time. The doctor suggested a prescription but I'm hesitant to take any meds during pregnancy. I don't remember feeling this miserable with my first pregnancy.
: Awwww i know how you feel i felt so rotten during my second pregnancy due to sickness.
: Someone told me ginger does the trick, I never tried it because i hate the taste of ginger.
: but you could try Ginger tea, or a ginger biscut.
: I never did manage to cure my sickness i had it from day one till i gave birth and lost 28lb in the process.
: Find out from your doc if the drugs are safe during pregnancy and ask if they will hurt the unborn baby, If they are 100% safe maybe you could try them and see if they make a differnce.
: Your lucky my doctor never offered me anything lol.
: Best wishes

I hope this follw up works. Sorry I'm new to these message boards.
Thanks to Robin and Kelly for your suggestions. I won't be able to drink the ginger tea - I get flash backs from the last time because I did use that to stave off my queesiness in 1st Pregnancy so now just thinking about it makes me feel sick. I tried those wrist bands that put pressure on a certain point of your wrist. Well - those don't work either- at least not for me. Hopefully this will only last a few more weeks but if I'm into my 2nd trimester and still feel like this..well I don't know what I'll do but I may have to consider the meds. Hope it doesn't get to that point. Thanks again girls.
