Travel Sickness Bands - the work of God

I got a set and they were great - I took them off to have a bath one day and about 10 minutes after I took them off I was vomiting over the side of the bath :rolleyes: I put them back on again and they stayed on until 14 weeks !!!

Also a tip from my midwife was to eat 2 oranges a day - they very slowly release sugar and it tends to be blood sugar levels taht can make the sickness worse.

Good luck

congrats on your pregnancy,to calm morning (or is that all day) sickness:D , I was told to eat arrowroot or ginger biscuits and it worked for me. I tried those sea bands and they did noithing for me. Hope you feel better soon.

I don't have any advice or anything, but have just read through this thread with interest. I wish you lots of luck in whatever you decide and will follow this thread.

Take care of yourself

I had exactly the same questions when I found out I was pregnant thou I was 30, but still felt like a 16 yr, as my partner and I had only been 2gether since Nov 01, found out was pregnant JAN 02

good luck, I had bad morning sickness when I had my daughter, anything would start me off, toothpaste and mint shampoo were the worst.

I eat ginger biscuits and dry crackers

Ive just skipped thorugh the thread, I can understand your concerns, travelling you may have to put on hold, but you have a lifetime ahead of you.

This was me Sept 2001 - Mexico, 2002, had Kenya booked March, Goa for Nov, then that little blue line changes everything, work wise I went from 13 1/2k pa + bonuses (take home £1,000 month), to £250 SSP, I had a up and down pregnancy, my partner walked out when I was 7 mths gone, (good riddance after bad rubbish), there was times how can I cope, will I cope, I cant go through with this, (Id previously had 2 car accidents), so pregnancy didnt agree with my back,I ended up on crutches, which was meant to be last 3 mths of pregnancy, but 5 years later, I have the most beautiful daughter, who I love to bits, a great family network, brilliant friends, Ive had a couple of hols abroad and my daughter has stayed with my parents, a lot of caravan hols in the uk, Im still on crutches, last year plucked up the courage to start an open uni course, now have a qualifiation in law and business, but Im happy.

Im taking my daughter abroad next yr for her 1st time.

Going back to 2001, I was in Mexico when it was 9/11, and a yr later Im in hospital - waiting to be induced, as the song goes - what a difference a year can make - shes the best thing ever to happen to me. x
Obviously money is a concern and Ive made mistakes, but am getting sorted

Hi everyone,

I'm really sorry I didn't get back to you all, but I was off work with my morning sickness as I blacked out several times and everyone decided it was a bit dangerous for me to be there. Not only that but OH would have refused to elt me go I think. Ended up in hospital on a drip, so anyone who says morning sickness isn't serious shoudl take note. I ended up at 7.5 stone.

Anyway, I felt that I owe it to you all to let you know that in the end I did go down the route of termination. It was the most difficult decision I've ever made, and I know that so many of you will be dissapointed and even angry with me, but I truly believe it was the right thing for everyone involved. There are several reasons that I don't really want to go into, but it's the decision I made and unfortunately, there's no changing it now. I want to say a huge thankyou to everyone who supported me and gave me advice, and good luck and all of my best wishes to mums to be and those TTC. I honestly hope I haven't offended anyone on here by my choice.

You poor thing- I hope you are OK and that everything works out for the best for you and your OH. Remember it was your decision and nobody elses- you had to do what was right for you- so ignore any harsh critism. xxx
