I’ve been having a problem with morning sickness that is getting worse. :nauseated green face emoji:

I have read how fresh ginger root has helped some women. And, ginger chews too. Anybody try it? Did it help?

Yup. Also laying on your left side helps a bit.

Thank you. Which did you try….fresh ginger root or ginger chews? I want something that will help while I’m up. I have been looking at recipes. I’m going to try a strawberry smoothie with ginger. The hard part is making it while I’m feeling so nauseated..so the chews do sound easier but I wonder if they would help as much.

Just curious Tasha, are there any trigger smells that make it bad for you?

My worst trigger smells were bacon and peanut butter.

I’ve been so nauseated in the mornings I don’t want food or to smell anything. I haven’t had my overnight oats in a week. It’s better if I can drink breakfast instead of eat. I’ve been having peanut butter & banana smoothies tho…they go down kind of easy, so peanut butter hasn’t been bothering me.

I can’t eat oatmeal or eggs. Tuna is a NO WAY for lunch. I can’t be near anybody eating tuna or fish. I haven’t been able to wear cologne or perfume….or smell it on other ppl.

I suffered with both of my pregnancies, Rolaids was the only thing that helped.

My daughter will be 30 this summer, my son is almost 40, you'd think they'd find a good solution for being nauseous. Unfortunately you'll have to try different things to see which will work for you.

I also suffered with back pain during my second pregnancy. I saw a chiropractor regularly, especially at the end, I think it helped with my labor being fast.

I was induced July 28th because July 29th was my ex's deceased brothers birthday. He died at 19 saving a girl from drowning. He saved her, the undertow got him. My MIL had a horrible time with depression after losing him. She was thankful I didn't have my daughter on his birthday which could have happened.

They no sooner turned the pitocin on, I was asking for something for pain they said too late, you may not make the delivery room because she's coming out. I think she was such an easy birth because of the chiro adjusting my pelvis to be ready to deliver. I have a few friends who also used a chiro, had a pretty easy birth.

Thank you Rose! I have tried adding ginger root to my morning smoothies. It helps. And, the ginger chews when I’m away from home…but there’s a limit. My husband gently massages my abdomen in the morning too…it also helps a lot!

I forgot if you have grandkids…do you? My mom is super excited…this will be her first. She said dry toast or crackers helped her. And, a friend I used to work with said fresh scents like a little lemon always helped her.

Yes, I have two grand kids, 10 and 6 from my daughter. Son wanted at least one but it never happened. He's been with a woman who doesn't want any. He's in his late 30's, she's in her early 30's. I'm hoping she changes her mind.

My son was the first grand kids, he got spoiled but he was a good kid, not a spoiled brat lol

Hopefully your nausea will go away. If it doesn't, the pregnancy will seem very long but you will eventually forget it when you get your baby.
