WORKING LADIES- how do you go about your career with morning sickness?!

Question

I’m 6 weeks 1 day. Morning sickness kicking in hard. I’m finding it challenging to combat the nausea and be productive at work. Anything that helps you? (Other than Zofran-heard it causes birth defects)

Answer

Seabands. Keep snacks near and eat them when the feeling comes on.

Answer

I took unisom and B6 at night which helped a lot and then kept peppermints, peanut butter, crackers and pickles in our break room (these were all I could keep down)

Answer

Tea - dandelion root and milk thistle (helps your body process those extra hormones)
Seabands
Preggie pops +b6 (the ones without b6 didn’t do anything for me)
Ginger candies 
A cup of ice with lemon juice squeezed over it 
Eventually I started doing the unisom+b6 before bed but waited until 2nd trimester to start it.
I was diagnosed with hyperemisis at 15 weeks though so my morning sickness was nothing gentle 😂
At 27 weeks, I was FINALLY prescribed zofran so now I take that on the really bad days

Answer

Where I work I'm able to chew spearmint gum. It's worked wonders for me.

Answer

I worked in a prison.... I puked in a trash can during a psychoeducational group I was running in front of inmates, also my coworkers, and I also swallowed my puke once (I went home because I got evem more sick).... I was also sucking down preggy drops after those lol. I drank more water as well.

Answer

I always had crackers in my bag and I would drink tea with ginger. I’m not a fan of just ginger tea so I would make a chai tea and add some slices of ginger

Answer

Sucking on jolly ranchers or chewing hubba bubba bubble gum was the only thing that helped me. I tried the sea bands, ginger, zofran, preggy pops, snacking, and literally nothing helped. The gum and ranchers helped while I had them in my mouth, but would get nauseous almost instantly after they were gone. So needless to say I went through bags of jolly ranchers my first trimester.

Answer

Tea- pepermint or ginger both helped so much!

Answer

In any case, I had pretty bad morning sickness from 6-14 weeks and my doc prescribed me Diclegis which is considered safe to take during pregnancy. It did make me sleepy and tired but that was the only downside. I think without it I would not have been able to function at work.
You can try preggie pops or vitamin b6 supplements as well. These helped me a tiny bit but I would still feel it if I didn’t take Diclegis.
