Guest guest Posted June 26, 2007 Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 Hi, All, I have a co-worker in her first trimester with her first child! She is REALLY having trouble with nausea. Having not gone through it myself (but having used Ginger extensively for nausea for other applications) I'm inclined to recommend Ginger (pickled, fresh, candied?) to her but I'd love to have the expertise of this list for suggestions! Thanks so much! Jill is a lovely Lady and will be a Great Mom!! --Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 26, 2007 Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 Crystallized ginger worked wonders for me, but I was only mildly nauseous at times with strange food aversions. But it is worth a try! Sue Mogle wrote: > Hi, All, > > I have a co-worker in her first trimester with her first child! She > is REALLY having trouble with nausea.

Guest guest Posted June 26, 2007 Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 I wonder if she is having a boy...after 2 pregnancies (girls) with no ill effects, this last one was just horrible from the beginning. I was sick from day one to well after the 5th month. Crackers worked wonders for me. Don't let the tummy get empty. Ginger ale is good too. Good luck to her!! Bless her heart...

Guest guest Posted June 26, 2007 Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 Now, I had the opposite problem--sick while pregnant with my daughter from six weeks until the day I went into labor with her. So basing it on sex alone might be a bit of a stretch. BTW I used peppermint tea with some success.

Guest guest Posted June 26, 2007 Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 I really was only joking about the sex of the baby. After having 3 babies, I know they are all different, individuals. I would steer clear of some teas...I know that green tea is not good for expecting mothers. I drank decaf iced tea. Again...I was only joking...

Guest guest Posted June 26, 2007 Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 I'll toss another vote in for ginger. I use the crystallized form because it is easy to carry a little baggie along. It only takes a small nibble to keep the nausea at bay. The spicy flavor immediately takes your mind off of your stomach, and the little bit of sugar helps too. Gingerale works, but it's very hard to find gingerale that actually contains ginger. The typical grocery store varieties contain flavorings, but not ginger.

Guest guest Posted June 26, 2007 Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 Another vote for ginger! Tina makes a great point about the ginger ale .. its important to get the ones made with real ginger, which is the kind of ginger ale sold in the natural foods markets or natural section in the grocery store. It can also be called " ginger brew " . When I was preggie and puking, my doc had recommended I eat liver strengthening foods such as beets and " Zinger Salad " (another thing found in the refrigerated section of a natural grocery) which is a lacto fermented pickled salad of beets and carrots, etc .. . *Smile* Chris (list mom) http://www.alittleolfactory.com essentialherbal wrote: > I'll toss another vote in for ginger.

Guest guest Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 Sue, Personally, I use crystallized ginger pounded together with cardamom seeds [another carmative]. Also, try the anti nausea wristbands - a friend of mine who had severe nausea & vomiting for the first 5 months of her pregnancy stated that they helped significantly. The wristbands also worked for my late husband for chemotherapy nausea for quite some time. Best of luck, Carol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 The news did a segment on morning sickness and stated that the hormones that can trigger morning sickness can be advantageous to help guard against breast cancer later in life. So it seems morning sickness may have some advantages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 Thanks so much to every one! I gave her some candied ginger today and she really thought it helped! I didn't think about the peppermint tea but that's a great idea, too! Maybe even some peppermint oil to sniff. Thanks so much! --Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
