Gingerale and crackers worked for me.  Lots of ice cold water and lemon drops, too. 

congratulations on your little one!  :).  i wish i could give you advice on nausuesness, but i've never been pregnant before.  i hear it is supposed to pretty much go away after the first trimester, though.

I'm using Sea-Bands, light blue Gatorade, and Club crackers. Congratulations!!

The main thing that helped with my nausea (other than prescription drugs, which were a last resort) was making sure I never had an empty stomach- I'd recommend keeping some basic snacks with you wherever you go (including by your bed at night). In general, I was all about the plain starches (meat often grossed me out and I didn't even want to look at most veggies), but I often felt better after something with a little protein in it (like apples and peanut butter).

Congratulations!!! 

We just started a thread for first trimester gals here:

I have heard things like jolly ranchers, sour patch kids, and lemon heads can all be good things to try.  I think its totally a trial and error process to find what works for you. 

Welcome Back! 

What an EXCITING secret to have. Congratulations!! :)

I have a friend who was completely nauseous all the time (and throwing up even), and also into her second trimester with her second child. She said the only thing that subsides it is chewing gum (believe it or not). She said she wished she knew that with her first pregnancy. Who would have thought?

Look up "homeopathic remedies for moring sickness" on google. you will find alot.

Congrats!! Normally the morning sickness dies down after teh 13th week

I need to make a list of all the things that helped me for the next time around because I randomly remember some of my tricks.

~ Avoid the empty stomach. You don't have to eat a lot just something - especially when you get up to pee at night. I would have a couple saltines or saltine/pb cracker sandwiches on my nightstand. I also fell in love with honey nut cheerios.

~ When I wasn't really wanting to eat but needed something on my tummy a cup of hot chocolate often did the trick.

~ Hot water with a little lemon soothed me and was especially great to order if I was out to eat and wasn't feeling good.

~ I also drank lots of ginger tea, ate ginger snaps, I've heard there's ginger candy.  Mocktails made with ginger beer are great for nausea and make you feel like your not missing all the fun :) [I don't like ginger ale - so I didn't try that - but if you do make sure it's a brand made with real ginger! Same for ginger snaps!]

~ I wore sea-bands but not sure if they really helped :)

Congrats!

Congratulations!!!

i've never been pregnant but several ladies i worked with were and they were all helped by this ginger hard candy called Gin-Gins.  you can buy them usually at whole foods type places.  i love em too and use them when i'm on airplanes!

congrats and feel better!

Congratulations! I had a lot of nausea in the last few weeks too, and the main thing that helped me was drinking lots of fluids. I had a hard time with that because the last thing you want to do when you feel queasy is drink a lot of water. but i tried to get in the habit of drinking a cup of water every hour or so, and also have orange juice (which apparently upsets some people's stomachs, but was the only thing that made me feel better for awhile) and ginger ale (make sure you get the kind with real ginger) here and there. During pregnancy you need ALOT more fluids, and even being slightly dehydrated can add to the nausea.

Also, snack as much as you can, even if you're not particularly hungry, so that your stomach is never empty. Rice cakes, cheez-its, peanuts, etc. helped me. I had a pretty persistent bad taste in my mouth, which just made me feel worse, so keeping mints, sour candies, and gum in my purse came in handy. 

Oh and Seabands worked for me! I recommend at least trying them.
