Y’all. I have been down for the count for the last 2 weeks with morning (all day) sickness from the sweet baby growing inside me. During my last pregnancy I was really sick from week 5-14. My former OB prescribed Zofran, and it worked to an extent, but I was still pretty miserable. This time the nausea, dizziness, and all around awful kicked in between 7-8 weeks. I went to my new OB, whom I already love, last week and she recommended I try Sea Bands
. She also called in a prescription for me because I seemed so doubtful of the bands. Friday night I was really sick and I sent Jed to CVS to get said prescription. It wasn’t there. Out of desperation I had him pick up the Sea Bands. I did not think they would work. At all. But, it was worth a try. The minute I put the 2nd band on, it was miraculous. I immediately felt better. I’m so not kidding. I’ve been wearing them every waking moment since then.

If you are suffering, go NOW and get a pair. We paid $11, but as you can see in the Amazon link below, you can get them for $5-7 online.
This is not a stigmata. Don’t canonize me.
The one negative I’ve found for the Sea Bands is that because the beads are constantly putting pressure on your pressure points they leave a mark on your wrists and can be uncomfortable at first. Trust me when I say I’ve tried every other “morning sickness cure” out there, and this is the only thing that works for me. I’m ok with a little discomfort. Other than that there are no side effects, which cannot be said for any nausea medication. I’m now on day 4 and I hardly notice my Wonder Woman Bracelets of Power any more. Find Sea Bands on Amazon here.

What morning sickness cures have you tried? What worked for you? What didn’t work?
That’s what I used! I never had bad nausea, just the annoying, I kinda feel like crap kind….glad you found something that worked!
Sounds weird but suck on something sour like a sour patch kid or sour skittle. I had extreme morning sickness and lost 20 pounds the first 2.5 months. This was the only thing that worked for me. I might try this the next time though.
Oh my gosh. Thank you for this post. I found it last night while desperately searching for a natural relief, because all of the prescriptions my doctor has given me have made me more miserable. I went to CVS this morning and got these. Within 10 minutes I felt like I was back to normal. Amazing!
Ooh wow! I better try this a.s.a.p!!! I’m feeling like crap right now, thank you!
Just bought some as I sit in my car trying to find the will to go into work. I thought I’d got away with it all at 8 weeks but it started last night and I am not playing along!
