Pink ginger - the kind at sushi places. They sell at groceries next to sushi, or go to H Mart. It's pickled ginger. 1000% get some.

NP. How much did you take? I’ve tried Unisom, even cutting the pills in half makes me extremely drowsy all day.


I took a half tab at night. Somehow that made it better for the entire day and I didn’t wake up nauseous

I got used to the unisom quickly so it helped but didn't make me groggy the next day

Put a dry cheerio in your mouth and let it dissolve. Won’t work with the flavored ones that have a sugar coating. It worked for me when all else failed.

Wow I’ll try this. What is the idea behind it?

Yep, just cut to the chase - Diglesis or Zofran.

Only non prescription thing that helped me was a bag of pretzels by my bed. I would eat a couple before getting out of bed. Still had awful nausea but that helped somewhat

Ugh, I’m sorry. My second pregnancy nausea was so much worse than the first. I took unisom but still felt like crap- the unisom just took the edge off and kept me from vomiting. Talk to your OB about medication. No good advice. I ate and and drank what I could stomach- seltzer, ginger ale, saltines, toast and maybe eggs. Finally had relief a few weeks into my second trimester. Hang in there op.

Also, sea bands helped minimally.

I found the green apple jolly ranchers helped a lot.
And the tropical tums if it was acid induced nausea.

Lemon drop candy and prescription meds.

A cocktail of Zofran twice a day, Unisom & B12 at night and anti-sickness candies, ginger ale and crackers.

Wasn’t ideal to be on so much medicine but I was at the point where I seriously considered terminating I was so ungodly sick.

+1000 this was me with my twin pregnancy. I lived on zofran which my insurance was Very displeased about. I ended up having to ration them and really only took them not to throw up, not often enough to make me feel “good”. Was in the hospital at 7 weeks severely dehydrated from throwing up constantly so yeah it was bad.
