Taylor's nausea/morning sickness had started to kick into overdrive. Not sure what to do, she scanned her pregnancy books for help. They recommended eating small amounts at a time, saltines mostly and lots of liquids, resting, and laying down. But, even doing all these things, she was miserable. We were going to run a bunch of errands, but she couldn't bring herself to get out of bed or off the couch, meandering between sleep and discomfort.
EJ left a voicemail on both our phones recommending the same things as the books, plus ginger ale, as well as anti-nausea wristbands that worked for her. I ventured to Jewel by myself, hoping to find the elusive wristbands.
I looked through all of the aisles, including the dreaded "women's needs" aisle, with no wristbands in sight. I checked the vitamin aisle hoping it may be there as well. No luck. Even the pharmacist was not sure. But, I glanced down at the nausea medicines and saw the little Sea-Band box. I grabbed it and threw it in the cart.
Taylor put them on according to the instructions, making sure the correct acupuncture pressure points were being covered. Within 20 minutes, she said 95% of the nausea was gone! Thank you, EJ! Thank you, Sea-Band!

You're most welcome.
Remember it's ginger snap cookies, ginger (the ones when you eat sushi), ginger candy (at Trader Joes).
However, not Ginger Ale - as it has no ginger in it when I checked the ingredients.
finally glad i found this site darn it!
ah...giner ale does not have real ginger in it, but it worked for me cuz of the fizz. 7-up is great too. it makes you burp...similar sensation to vomitting without the vomit, but vommiting will get rid of all the nausea...fo sho!
