Morning Sickness & What 'Remedies' Worked For You...

My sister is having a bear of a time with morning sickness...and it seems to kick in again later at night, to boot! She's lost weight as a result and cannot seem to find a food (or combination) that works for her. She's done the saltines...turkey worked for one day...cottage cheese worked for another day - but she can't seem to eat it two days or more in a row.

What has worked for you? Maybe some of your suggestions will help her...Thank You So Much!!!

i had the night thing going on....

i ate pastina with a little butter and salt.

peanut butter on crackers

gingerale and vanilla ice cream

chocolate milk

tell her not to worry too much about nutrition right now. just eat what she feels like she might want. there is time for good nutrition later!

For me, any carbs worked...potatoes, bread, bagels, crackers, unsalted pretzels, etc.

But, it was also important for me to never have an empty stomach - that kept my morning sickness away all the time. If I allowed myself to get too hungry, then was inevitable!

HTH!

What worked for me was chewing peppermint gum.

My doctor recommended to me that I eat a few saltines right away in the morning before I even got out of bed....she said that if I got something in my stomach before I sat up it would help for the morning. As for at night I ate a lot of soup and bland foods. Meat at the time was not my friend.

Hope she feels better soon, don't worry it will eventually pass.

Another one here who indulged in lots of carbs, it's the only thing that worked. I HAD to have a full stomach at all times and it was usually full of bread and pasta.
