Morning sickness = motion sickness?

jerseyshoregirl · Oct 14th, 2008, 07:28 AM

Hi ladies!

Just wondering who else seems to experience their morning sickness differently than just the "roll out of bed in the morning" manner.

Seems to me I usually get m/s in the late afternoon and it's usually when I am driving home on my one-hour commute home from work. I'm thinking it might be motion-related.

I should mention I am feel quite green right now and it's only 7:30am. Thank goodness for saltines and ginger ale.

**Has anyone ever tried any motion-sickness wristbands? Do they really help with the nausea?

Every day is a different day!

Hi Jersey
Glad your ok by the way, had us all worried!!
Yeah i tried those wrist bands with baby #1 didn't make any difference, and i tried some homeopathic remedy that didn't work either. feeling puke now too!! think its trying to not get hungrey or get too full. its like a litle and often is best, i'm finding water makes me feel sick too so trying just sips instead of gulps, only another 6 weeks to go. i think hcg peaks at 8 weeks so hopefully sickness won't get any worse after that!!
just bought some mints to suck too, . if you find anything that works let me know!!!
Its a good sign though feeling sick!!

Thanks! Yeah, I feel really bad about not getting on the boards earlier to let everyone know how I was doing...and I would have had I had the opportunity. I'll be sure to do even better next time.

About the sickness, I agree...feeling this way is a GOOD thing! I actually get quite a chuckle of it, happy to feel green in the face - who would have thought it'd be a good thing????

My one concern is that if it gets worse or does not subside, how am I going to continue the one-hour commute to work...should be interesting!

Mine doesn't really hit me in the mornings,though I have started getting nausea around 4am and that coincides with my insomnia.

Mine comes and goes and when I am on the move I find it gets worse.

Peppermint tea and lots of water is what I am drinking to try and ease it off.
Dry,very plain snacks too.

Not so much now, but a few weeks ago I would be fine up until I got in the car.... and then that was it, terrible sickness.

I've also been waken up at 3-5am with overwhelming feeling of wanting to be sick and then thats it, cant get back to sleep

ooh so glad it's not just me getting this!!

Yeah mine doesn't hit me until at least mid-morning if not later and is definitely worse when I drive anywhere!

Sorry to gatecrash back in first tri, but the only time I ever got morning sickness was when I was travelling in the car, and I never suffered from motion sickness before becoming pregnant. Nothing I tried seemed to work though.
