OMG I can't take the nausea anymore!!!!!

The Zofran gets me through the morning, for the most part...but the nausea is just as bad at night.

Right now, I'm considering using my last sick day for this school year, just so I can sleep and get some rest tomorrow.

I've tried Preggie pops, I've tried saltines, I've tried ginger ale...what else can I do?

Peppermint helped me...

Re: OMG I can't take the nausea anymore!!!!!

Have you tried ginger candy or chinese dried prunes? The dried prunes have a mostly salty flavor though it could be sweet too. My sisters had morning sickness too and swears the taste of dried prunes alleviates their MS.

I prefer ginger candy as it tastes better and doesn't make me thirsty. Visiting the bathroom 10x a day is enough for me!

Here are some pictures of ginger candy and dried prunes.

Ice pops really worked for me.

Re: OMG I can't take the nausea anymore!!!!!

I know exactly how you feel. This pregnancy was soo much harder for me than my 1st.

I took the Zofran every 8 hours and was able to get through the day and continue working. This time, I was soo sick that I had to quit my job. I literally could not get off my couch for over 4 weeks. I could barely even shower.

Just hang in there. It does eventually get better.

Try the sea bands. They really work for some people.

Re: OMG I can't take the nausea anymore!!!!!

I felt the same way up until my 9th week. Chocolate milk and bagels surprisingly helped me.

I feel your pain!!!

Re: OMG I can't take the nausea anymore!!!!!

Bagels helped me the most. They were the only things I could stand for a while.

Re: OMG I can't take the nausea anymore!!!!!

Lemon helps too..even smelling it. I had severe hyperemesis and threw up till I gave birth. i tried it all.

I would suck on lemons and or smell them and it did help on occasion .Get as much sleep as possible!

Sea bands helped me . They are pressure point wrist bands and they are used for travel sickness and morning sickness and it worked for me . They sell them @ CVS . I also got to the point I couldnt take it anymore thats what made me try these and they worked

Re: OMG I can't take the nausea anymore!!!!!

Can they up your prescription to 2x a day??

My only "breakthrough" cure was sniffing lemon juice. I know- sounds wierd but it worked!

Re: OMG I can't take the nausea anymore!!!!!

I was only nauseous at night (with both pregnancies) until about 16weeks

I tired Sea bands, ginger candy, crackers, & preggo pops.....nothing really helped. The ginger candy and preggo pops gave a little relief but not for long.

At least your Dr gave you Zofran...since I wasn't throwing up my Dr wouldn't give it to me.

Re: OMG I can't take the nausea anymore!!!!!

How did your doctor write your prescription? My doctor wrote to take it every 8mg every 8 hours.

Re: OMG I can't take the nausea anymore!!!!!

I get sick every morning. Usually I only have water in my stomach b/c I get sick within 30 minutes after getting up. I have red dots again all over my face b/c I break capillaries when I get sick. I feel nauseous on and off throughout the day. I feel particularly awful late afternoon/evening.

I hope we both feel better soon.
