If you are like me and suffered through many years of infertility and miscarriage, you don't dare complain about feeling sick when you are pregnant with what appears to be a healthy pregnancy. Not only do you think this will jinx it, but you know there are plenty of women going through infertility who would gladly change places with you.
One thing that did seem to help me through the constant nausea was sucking on starlight mints (the little red and white peppermints that you get at restaurants). I ate so many of those I was worried about tooth decay! Although they did not take away the nausea, the peppermints smoothed over my gag reflex so I wasn't always gagging to the point of vomiting.
There is another product on the market which I'm not sure was around when I was pregnant, but I would have given it a try if it was. It is called "Preggie Pops". These colorful lollipops have a number of safe ingredients which can help with morning sickness. From the manufacturer:
Preggie Pops work by a combination of:
- Specific essential oils flavors known to help stomach problems
- Aromatherapy
- Mode of delivery
- Sugars to combat hypoglycemic queasy stomach
- And, they are safe because they are all natural
