Has anyone used seabands? How do I find my neiguan point?

[tryingtoleave]

I bought some motion sickness relief bands today, which I'm really hoping will help with morning sickness which is already setting in at 4 weeks. But they have a magnet which is meant to go over the neiguan point and the diagrams just don't make sense to me. Does anyone know how to find it?

I used these with my DS and they worked fab. I got some others this time and they made me feel more sick.

With DS I put the pressure point thing inbetween the two tendons in my wrist. Clench your fist hard and see the tendons pop up and then put the seaband on.

I have no idea if this is right but it worked for me last time.

I used them, too and they were great. I still felt hung over and horrible headaches for the first trimester, but the sickness went away.

Mine didn't have magnets, but a little plasitc knob that pressed on the neigun point. I got them at boots for about £7.

They need to go between the two tendons on your wrist three finger lengths below your hand.

I put the band on my left arm and held out my arm palm facing me and then stretched out my index, middle and ring fingers of my right hand and laid them on top of my right arm starting and the base of the hand. Then I moved the band, so the middle of the plastic knob was underneath my index finger.

Hope that makes sense and you feel better soon!

Thanks for your replies - I fell asleep putting ds to bed last night so didn't come back (got to love the first trimester...). Excuse my ignorance but are the tendons the two lines that go down the middle of my wrist that I have been thinking are bones? There hardly seems space between them for the magnet, but I am rather small. I can't see anything else. Goodness, I sound stupid.

Two fingers down your arm from your wrist joint.

Hi
I used these first time round, did help a bit but second time round they are insufficient to keep me upright and functionning so have hit the drugs and feel semi human. I have also had the joy of discovering that my bladder hasn't recovered as well as I thought from first time, so am having to remember to vomit with my legs crossed. Talk about adding insult to injury.

I used this at 15 weeks after being admitted to hospital with hypermesia. They worked well. Mine came with clear instructions about where to position them. Perhaps it's worth looking in the packet of another brand and pinching those instructions of where to place them!

All the best!

I got drugs last time, rowanmac, but I never knew if they weren't working or if I just wasn't keeping them down! I'm hoping not to get to that point this time.
