PREGNANCY
Polls and Tips for Pregnancy
From cravings to baby showers, there's a lot to wonder about when expecting! Ask and answer pregnancy questions among fellow parents.
What were you glad you packed in your hospital bag?
Disposable toothbrush: a toothbrush I'm willing to use for a couple nights then throw away at the hospital before I return home.
Cozy socks
A lightweight robe. Cozy and comfortable, presentable enough for wearing around the hospital, and easy nursing access.
Warm socks and a sweatshirt. I found the hospital chilly or maybe it was just adjusting to hormones going crazy from just having a baby.
Tips for Relieving Morning Sickness in Pregnancy
Ugh I was so sick for all three the first three months. Plain crackers, ginger ale, lots of water.
I tried Sea-Bands for pregnancy nausea (which for me didn't really seem to be limited to the morning!) and they seemed to help a little.
Ginger can help. I did fresh ginger tea - thinly sliced ginger in boiling water with a little honey. But you could also try a good ginger ale, ginger candy, or even ginger essential oil for aromatherapy.
I tried all the natural remedies and nothing helped. I was very anti-med, but Diclegis saved my sanity. It helped me function, go to work and take care of my toddler. Recommend!
