Unfortunately sometimes we can try all the remedies and still nothing helps. I was sick morning, noon, and night until 7 months with my first pregnancy and until 5 months with my second. B6 vitamin, half a unisom, and a zofran. Its all that helped. Oh and a nurse suggested flat coke. Pour some coke in a cup and stir it flat. It actually helped some. Good luck!

I suffered from exactly the same thing up to 28 weeks. My doctor finally prescribed Zantac which is an antihistamine that dissolves in water. It is very strange and rare but it was the only thing that worked for me. nothing else worked even other medications and it made me very miserable so I know what you are going through. Good luck. Hope you feel better soon :)

the only thing that ever worked was chugging 4 - 5 glasses of water. I am not kidding. I was so sick my first 3 months, anytime I started feeling queasy this was the only thing that helped. Drink water, not juice or anything else, and drink at least 4 glasses in a row all at once, don't do it over an hour or so, drink them all at once and then rest if you can until the queasyness goes away a bit.

Peppermint candies are an anti-emesis naturally. Try sucking on those hard candies and of course eat small, but healthy meals. Carrots really helped me for that.

Oh man I had the same problem! Everything I ate/ drank just came back up! Shocking tho kool aid (cherry). Dont ask me why but it was the only thing that helped. I made it with splenda tho cause my sugars were waaaay to high. Oh and when I was out and felt like I was going to get sick I would get hard candy (sugar free) and just sucked on it and it would go away.

I had 2 boys before this current pregnancy and had my share of morning sickness. This time around though (my 3rd a GIRL yeah!!) was actually debilitating. I threw up 10-12 times a day, was dehydrated and had to go to hospital. After that, my Dr. finally prescribed a suppository that would reduce/eliminate the nausea & vomitting by working on the acids in the stomach. At first I did not want to take it, I thought I could get through it, I only had 1 more month until it should begin to subside but I was actually doing more harm being as sick as I was. I couldn't eat and still got sick. Anyway, if you are that bad, try all the great suggestions down below but also talk to your doctor about the pros/cons of this med. I've had zero problems with it, no side effects and my baby is right on track. It really helped me. Good luck.

Ginger cordial, ginger snap biscuits and just the patience to get through it til it was done, knowing that as horrible it was, it meant my cherub was hanging on and healthy and that it was all worth it in the end.

Good news? Morning sickness means you're less likely to miscarry so, yes, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I had morning sickness 24/7 for 9 months and threw up right as the doctor walked into my room to catch my daughter! In the end it was worth every minute of praying to that porcelain goddess. I tried everything: eliminating certain foods, certain food groups...etc but nothing seemed to help. Sounds like you might need to ask your ob to write you an Rx for Zofran. It has helped me (I'm pregnant again). Zofran is used by cancer patients b/c chemo can make them sick. It is the only anti-nausea medicine that is safe for pregnant women and will not make you drowsy (especially important if you work or have other children). Hang in there and good luck with your pregnancy!

The SEA BAND sold in almost all drug stores, no drinking or medicine, it's the best invention ever, is a band you wear on your wrist, it presses on a certain point and poof gone morning sickness.

Citrus....for me, a little lemon in my water, the smell of fresh oranges/lemons, the skin or squeezed always helped with my queezy tummy... real ginger candies - they be little string tasting but i found betwen the citrus and the ginger i always felt better

Uhmm, nothing really helps! I tried the crackers and did not work. I was told since the beginning by the nurses that there is nothing really that they can give to make it better. I had the sickness for about 3 months...every day and night nonstop. I couldn't smell anything cooked in my kitchen...specially meat. I had to eat out most of the times. Even when I didn't throw up much, I had the nausea most of those 3 months. After those 3 months...it kinda got better. But I was told by friends that some keep having them during the whole pregnancy. Hopefully you will feel better soon...God bless!

Eat! That is the best thing to do for it. Make sure to eat healthy foods throughout the day. Never go more than 2 hours without eating something. Eat whatever you can manage to get down. Keep candy canes & mints handy too as they can help. Avoid greasy, fatty foods. It'll pass soon, don't worry. Good Luck!

that is not fun. my first preg i was sick til the day i delivered. this preg i was very sick for the first 6 mo or so. i am still not 100%, but WAY better. i took 25mg of b6 and a 1/2 unisom every night. it did help. i also was told to try drinking lipton iced tea with citrus. takes a few days to get better, but that helped as well. good luck!

The only thing that worked for me is the ginger lozenges or lolly pops you can get at baby's r us. I tried everything I could think of but this worked.

You poor thing. I suffered terrible terrible morning sickness too. In the end I went to my doctor & she gave me some 'maxolon', which are completely safe for bub, but definitely made me feel better. In the beginning I was so against taking anything during my pregnancy, but it came down to a question of needing my sanity, lol. They didn't completely cure it, but certainly made it bearable.
Also, a friend of mine has a theory that morning sickness is actually caused from dehydration. She recently told me about a book called "you're not sick, you're thirsty", so that might be worth a try.
Oh, & apparently there are like wafer things that can help with extreme morning sickness, they're used on ppl who are going through chemo, & sometimes pregnant women too, but they're quite expensive, but you could always ask!
Good luck, & just hang in there until the 14 week mark, mine just about completely disappeared then!

if you go to the doctors he will prescribe something to settle it but not stop it, I found Vegemite on toast in bed helped and water crackers and bali sugar during the day

i tried EVERYTHING! but nothing worked, n i had the sickness through the whole pregnancy. eventually i got hospitalised cos i cudnt keep any food down n they tried everything that wudnt harm the baby. the only thing they had that worked was stuff they give cancer patients to help wit their nausea which is very very expensive. hopefully u find something that works n dont end up like i was :) good luck

Well what always helped me was ginger ale and sucking on lemon drops. Also try taking your prenatal vitamin at night. Also never let your tummy get too empty or too full

I found that the easiest things to do while prego to help morning sickness was to eat crackers, pretzels and mashed potatoes! The potatoes were the best. My doc told me to make some and eat it when ever I was feelin a bit low. I ate mostly the crackers though because they were the easiest for me. It's all about what you like and what will work for you.

The only thing that helped me was to eat constantly. I would have a mini-meal every two hours during the day, and I would have a snack ready for the wee hours of the morning when I woke up in the middle of the night.

I heard that a fresh ginger root made into a hot tea works great....or lemon drops!! That was advice from my OB

I know it may sound funny, but Aloe Juice works really well. Aloe is a natural way to ease all kinds of issues with digestion. I had my sister drink aloe with her morning sickness and it relieved it instantly, she has since had the baby and will not live without the juice. The juice comes in 4 flavors, strawberry kiwi (her favorite), apple cranberry, pomegranate and natural aloe flavor. I know what you are thinking, aloe? It works, it even helps with acid reflux, crohn's and colitis and so many more conditions. Give it a try, www.marketamerica.com/gabriellawaters. It is called Ultimate Aloe Any questions, feel free to send me a message. I just wish I knew about this when I went through morning sickness!

Quoting ElizaBeth:

Emetrol. Emetrol emetrol emetrol. . . . works grrrrr-reat. or Vitamin B12



This is SO TRUE!!! I had tried everything!! I was put in the hospital, busted veins in my eyes, and lost 20 lbs This was the ONLY thing that worked FAST and complete!! No side-effects!!

I had it HORRIBLE!! I even busted veins in my eye...I would wake up and take Emetrol...I swear by this stuff!!! It does work!! It is also OK to take while pregnant!! Get some and keep it next to your bed...when you wake up don't jump right up...take some Emetrol and lay there for about a minute and you will be just fine :)

Good luck Hun and congratulations on being pregnant!!!

Ask your Dr for Zofran or Phenergan...I've taken both w/ all three of my pregnancies. Zofran is great but some insurances don't cover it....phenergan is also good but can make you really sleepy. I only took 1/2 pill which worked for me. Hope this helps.

motherisk.org You can talk to nurses over the phone and see what they suggest. One thing on their website they said when you eat don't drink for 20-30 minutes after. Not true if that won't work. I know someone who had really bad case of morning sickness that her doctor gave her some meds max you can take is 8 a day 2 every 6 hours but she still got sick taking it and the pharmacy said that she had a serve case of it and gave her the website. Good Luck!

I really feel for you. I had the worst morning sickness with my first. By the time I was pregnant with my daughter I already had my bases covered. You can ask your doctor for phenergen (fenergen), or you can go to the drug store and get dramamine, it is for motion sickness but it really works. And it is safe to take while pregs.Good luck!

GINGER... ways to use it... you can just go to the store and get powdered ginger in the spice aisle and put a little bit in a shot glass or small glass and add a little warm water it will be a little spicy but it works like a charm... or you can buy a ginger root and cut into pill size slivers and swallow them or even cut pieces of it and boil to make tea!

Lemonade, or even the smell of lemons. It's amazing.

Be careful not to try everything people are suggesting... I know that some of these things aren't good for your baby. Like honey.

It was kind-of just a waiting game for me, but it did help taking my prenatal pill after dinner or before bed. Also saltines - didn't do a thing. I liked cheese it crackers and just tried to take it slow in the morning. I tried everything except for the ginger root and after 10 weeks of being sick it just went away. Hang in there!

Earth Mama Angel Baby Organic Morning Wellness Tea works for me. Also if it hits while I'm in bed I keep a jar of the peppermint hard candies by my bed and they help too.

When I was pregnant the only thing that helped me was these candies my mom bought for me at Babies R Us... they're called Preggie Pop Drops. There's no weird chemicals in them, they cost about $6 for a container, and they taste like Jolly Ranchers.

Ask Doctor for a prescription, if you don't ask they will usually not offer, it made my life tolerable with the prescription.
