Morning Sickness Shopping List

[SPR1107]

Please no ginger! Hate it!

With DS1, I was sick about 6/7 times a day until 20 weeks, then once a week then on. For personal reasons, I didn't take medication last time. But this time, I'm not planning on being so heroic. However, I would like to try and see if I can keep it under control before it really kicks in or before I try medication.

So,
Ice poles are top of the list so far... that's about it.

Any ideas?

Rennies helped me. And salted rice cakes.

Digestives or hob nobs for eating as soon as you wake up. Milk and fruit. Best of luck, hope it passes soon! X

White bread toast. Cans of coke. Grapes.

Salted pringles and mini cheddars, i lived on them for weeks!

Always filled up water bottles and put them in the freezer , could stomach freezing icy water much better than any other liquids, still feeling nauseous now at nearly 28 weeks but nothing like the first 20 , food wise there has been nothing that has worked consistently for me, changes throughout.
Also had sickness bands , don't know if they really worked but had them on religiously the first few months , always worth a try .

Refreshers sweets & softmints!

I'm waiting for mine to fully kick in - was 6 weeks yesterday and it's starting to creep up on me.

So far I have crackers, fizzy water, vitamin b6, I've stocked up on ready cooked mashed potato, and i've been constantly sipping hot water and lemon and find it quite soothing.

Coke.
Insulated drinks bottle/flask for iced water.
Salt and Vinegar crisps.

For me the medication did help but I was still in a bad way til about 22 weeks.

Watermelon.

Salt and vinegar crisps
Lemon sherbets
Extra strong mints
Toast
Pasta
Biscuits
Sparkling lemon & lime water
Diet Coke

That (plus anti-sickness medication) was pretty much my diet for the first 18 weeks! I hate ginger too

Fox's glacier mints

Ready salted crisps

Acupressure bands
Peppermint teabags

Freezing cold Diet Coke and the strongest salt and vinegar crisps I could lay my hands on.

Jacket potatoes
Hula hoops

@RosiePosies 6 weeks yesterday for me too! This morning was my first morning wrenching over the toilet 🤗 (oh how I’ve missed that 🙈) Ended up giving in last time and taking Cyclizine as I started vomiting up clots of blood at 13 weeks....hoping it doesn’t get as bad as that this time! Literally had sickness until 32 weeks and nausea all the way through! Currently I’m craving spaghetti ( specifically spaghetti) and chips 😂

Retching not wrenching! 🙄

@Lumpy76 I'm literally preparing myself a bowl of plain penne as I'm reading your post 😂 not heard of cyclizine - doctor has talked about citirizine though. Did you find it helped when you took it? I think get to your GP and get some ASAP!

Hi...it’s another (older type) of antihistamine. I think it did take the edge off. I’ve always been scared of taking stuff in pregnancy so even though I was told I could take (I think is was up to 3 times a day) I only took one in the evening/night when I was really struggling - the blood scared me and that happened late at night!

Polo mints, saved me anytime I had to leave the house.

Fresh fruit, especially nectarines and kiwis. I'm not normally a healthy eater, but I've found the fresh zinginess really helps.

I'm not suffering as much time round as I did with DD- I try to get out ahead of the nausea, so when I start to feel the first wave of sickness I grab a bit of fruit and that can keep it at bay until my next meal.

Oatcakes and Philadelphia cheese

@dinosaurkisses I’ve been more sick with my DD’s than my DS’s expect for in my last pregnancy where we were all convinced he was a she due to the sickness!

Ice lollies is the only thing that did it for me. I liked rowntrees fruit pastille lollies and calypo's!

Mini cheddars
Marmite
Grapefruit juice
Sparkling water
Lemon ice lollies
