Morning Sickness Cures?

[jd ollie]

Can anybody help my wife is feeling this all day.
But hopefully with your help I can ease the symptoms.

Go to your doctor - in extreme cases they can prescribe but it needs a professional to determine.

Congratulations though - an exciting time for you both I am sure.

the only thing that helped Mrs F was keeping busy - being occupied kept her mind of it...


tell Mrs Ollie it won't last forever and it'll be worth it when the time come's*












*make sure your out of punching range - just in case

[jd ollie]

Cheers Guys its all been said by other people thankfully so no need to avoid the punches; at least no more than usual
She is trying to work thru it but its rough at moment.

Bugger you beat me too it



Congrats mate, do you know if its a boy or a girl yet?

[jd ollie]

Ta Jimbo yes it should be one or the other!

Think its about 20 weeks before you can tell.

I suffered terribly - ended up in hospital with dehydration, so tell your wife she really does have my sympathy (mine only went away when he was born, sorry to say)

A few things that helped me:

- keep a ginger biscuit on the bedside table. Eat it before you even move first thing in the morning to settle the stomach and head it off at the pass
- eat little and often (no big meals, but don't leave it too long between meals) to keep blood sugar level
- I found it useful to try and eat like a diabetic - make sure you don't have foods that make your blood sugar 'spike', try and keep it level
- having said that, if you do feel sick, a sugary drink like Coke will help settle the stomach
- ginger based products are good for settling the stomach, add ginger to food, and ginger biscuits are good.
- try and have a little fresh air/exercise every day, even just a brief walk, even if you don't feel like it - it'll get the endorphines going, and make you feel much better
- if it gets any worse, go to the doctor, there are things they can give you

How am I suppost to know how far gone she is

Your the father....











....aint you ?

[ACAPULCO AL]

your missus has my utmost sympathy. mrs al (like mamalasagne) was hospitalised about 7 times early in 2008 with hyperemesis (extreme morning sickness). first night they used to rehydrate her, 2nd night they'd fill her up with sugars, salts & Vitamins and then give her some anti-emetic drugs. then she'd be well enough to go home so i'd bring her back and watch her gradually deteriorate again for about a week until she had to be admitted again . then she she felt horrifically sick literally every waking hour for 4 months.

she tried ginger biscuits, sucking ice cubes and all the other old remedies but to no avail. i hope your missus gets over it soon

You'll have to wait 'til the Jeremy Kyle Show next week.

Mrs 156Chris had really bad morning sickness with both beasts ... however for the 2nd she had some aqupuncture done and it went away immediately ...


... it's probably just psycho simatic (spelling ) ... but it worked for her

I watch it every morning

[jd ollie]

Wow amazing response people I'm touched, but you prob knew that
Mama, sorry you had it so bad; your advice is much appreciated by my wife. The ginger bit was working early on but she cant face it now, wont say how I'm gonna trick her into having it coz she's looking over my shoulder right now.
Al, sorry Mrs Al was so bad it makes our probs seem very small.
Chris thanks for the possible cure but as my wife is needle-phobic, I'm going out on a limb here saying it maybe a NO NO.
And as for you Jimbo SHAME ON YOU

I have a reputation to uphold and do you expect anything else from me?

Oh and best of luck for your missus and best of luck for you putting up with her

[mamalasagne]

Oh I forgot!

THE best thing (I can't believe I forgot it!!) was peppermint tea - there was a long period where it was literally the only thing I could stomach. Great thing is, is that it's a stomach settler, and it'll help keep her hydrated

[156Chris]

they're not needles though ... they're just pins aren't they ...


... good luck though ... and if she's needlephobic that mean no epidulral ... so I hope she's not allergic to pain too

Yeah she says that no little ***** is coming near her ever again, I dont know what she means

Thanx Mama the peppermint tea sounds quite good to my better-half.

Jimbo your reputation is in tatters already only a beemer cud plunge it further (oh now I've gone too far me thinks)

[mamalasagne]

Hope it works for her

[classicgal93]

I had a couple of mornings of seasickness, like I was on a boat. I had some plain crackers ready to munch on, probably similar to the ginger biscuits.
Best of luck with her pregnancy, it's an exciting time. The times can vary for how long this stage lasts, I hope she's nearing the end of the sickness.
Here they will medicate the sick feeling if it goes on too long. After the first 3 months are over I believe. It really helps. I have a friend who was prescribed this medication and was very thankful.

[jd ollie]

Thanks CG it is exciting and fraught but its not about us its all for the little un.

[classicgal93]

I hope she feels better The babe will be here before you know it.
I remember everything about my 3 pregnancies, it's something I'm still in awe of. Very moving experience.
