3rd baby but the first time I have nausea. It’s all day, but no vomiting yet. The worst nausea comes from drinking water.
What should I be doing? I have had toast to start my day, but also tried eggs. I drink a lot of water. I feel best when I don’t eat at all but that’s not great for the pregnancy. |

For me, seltzer and tea are easier than plain water. Also half a unisom and B-6 each night.
I’m amazed that you’ve made it through two pregnancies without nausea - I’m so jealous. |

Diclegis. Or just do the unisom/B6 combo.
For non-medicated approaches, I got some relief from ginger tea, ginger ale, lemonade, sour candies, and basically never letting my stomach get even close to empty. |

For me the key was to never let myself get hungry. I kept Cheerios or crackers on me at all times.
I have a friend who wore anti-nausea pressure point bracelets. Sea Bands, I believe. |

B6.
Smelling lemons. Put lemon in the water too. |

Op here. I’m actually shocked how different this pregnancy is. I never had a symptom before other than exhaustion and a growing stomach. I have a boy and a girl already. Dh keeps joking it’s twins, which I seriously hope it’s not. I’m going to look at the b6 |

| Fresh lemonade. Even squeezing the lemons made me feel better and the sugar (make a syrup heating equal parts of water and sugar) settled my stomach. Also whole wheat crackers. |

Avoid plain water, or drink it only with food. For whatever reason, really cold water through a straw was more palatable to me. If you’re worried about staying hydrated, eat watermelon, drink broth, tea, popsicles, etc. You don’t need plain water if it makes you that nauseated. I had HG with all three pregnancies, and plain water was the absolute worst. Regular Coke was like the nectar of the gods when I was most nauseated.
Yes to Sea Bands, Diclegis, etc. Eat whatever suits you and don’t worry about what it is. |
