hi all....

those who have been through pregnancy post- op, what did you do to help with nausea?? I mean... I know they always say to nibble on crackers, but is that a good idea post-op? What worked for you?

I would say NOT to crackers, being bread they are high carbs and even though you wil eat only one or two they might not settle well.

Milk of Magnesia helps as does Malox. I was nauseas off and on for weeks, I just had to put up with it.

did you try the preggy pops or whatever they are called??? the lolly pops with ginger in them

no one else has any suggestions?

There are several medicinal options to alleviate the symptoms of motion sickness. Medicines like scopalamine, or Dimenhydrinate (also known as the brand name Dramamine) tend to have a relatively high success rate at curing motion sickness. However, they also tend to make the person who is taking them very drowsy. In fact, Dimenhydrinate is also sold, not only as a motion sickness cure, but also as a sleep aid. The good news is that there are a variety of motion sickness cures that you may be able to use without the drowsiness.

To understand possible motion sickness cures, it is useful to know what causes motion sickness. Motion sickness occurs when there is a conflict between what the eye sees and what the balance system in the inner ear feels. Symptoms of motion sickness might include nausea, vomiting, dizziness, fatigue, headache, and even cold sweats.

One thing you can do to cure motion sickness without the drowsiness might be to use the motion sickness wrist band products. Some of these products rely on certain pressure points to relieve nausea. Others send an electrical signal into the body that is thought to interfere with the disconnected messages between what the eyes see and what the body feels. While these wrist bands may not work for every person, they may be worth a try.

Another useful motion sickness cure tends to be ginger. Whether you have some ginger tea, ginger caplets, or even ginger soda, this herb may be able to help control the nausea or vomiting you are feeling, and should be able to do so without the drowsiness. Other herbs that may be used to cure motion sickness are peppermint and black horehound. There are also homeopathic remedies you can try, and some people have reported success with acupuncture or acupressure.
