I used to use them when i was young and got car sick... They do work.

(guessing they're the little bracelets with bobbles on? Pressure point things?)

Woo that fills me with hope, ive sent MIL on the case

They definitely helped with me, I was still sick, but only a couple of times over a few weeks.

Brill, im just looking for an improvement a cure would be great though lol. As long as i dont feel as bad as i do atm anythings worth a go !

 

[jennijunni]

They helped me as well. GL!

I found that they take the edge off the sickness. I still have nausea all day some days but they do help a bit. Anything is worth a go!

 

[ifoundmysoul]

they take the edge of for me to i still feel sick but im not throwing up so much however they are bruising my wrists

I have just started trying them, and they do seem to be helping. Although I still have some nausea, it is less intense and I am able to function more regularly. Like others note, it takes off the "edge". I would definitely recommend giving them a try! Hope you feel better soon.

they didnt work for my but hoping they work for you

I have use those in combination with the Preggie Drops. As already stated, it does take the edge off but certainly doesn't cure it. I would say they are worth it!

When I bought them, there was a little bottle of this oil you rub behind your ear. It was made by the same people. I almost bought it but didn't. I did get the bands though. I have bigger wrists and they don't seem to work fabulously. I did have to push them in more when nausea was severe.
My doctor won't even consider giving me any meds and said the bands will work, ehhh

They don't work for me, but mine is REALLY bad...so Idk how much worse it would be if I didn't have them on! lol So I wear them anyways...still sick but eh, such is pregnancy

 

[mummytobe]

I got them and made no difference to me yesterday apart from leaving little indents in my wrists !! lol. but woke up this morning not feeling so nauseated so thought id put them on anyway and i feel so much better. So this could just be a coincidence, either way im feeling better. Woooo

Mine took 3 days to kick in (put them on at about week 4), i havent taken them off at all. I wear the kiddies ones as i have small wrists. I am now 14 weeks and scared to take them off lol. I am only being sick once a week now (i did have Hyperemesis gravidarum). They say if you feel extra sick to hold both points down at the same time for 20 seconds (kind of like a boost button). My Dr says you need to use them along with other things like the ginger etc as no one thing works on it's own, you need to use them all at the same time. I hope it eases for you xx

Hope they work - I am going to get some too as I can't take this feeling anymore *sigh* but couldn't wear them at work

I have kiddie ones too Im glad you say it took time to kick in cause now i feel bad again, think i spoke too soon! And thanks for letting me know to use them with other things, gonna try ginger too

Also try and eat a good quantity of ginger, you need to take a certain amount a day for it to help. Also a good squeeze of lemon in hot water is meant to be good. I tried Lillipops and they made me puke so i like being different, but the anti sickness medicene made me sick too! I have almost 2 full boxes of Lillipops i need to get rid of, so you can always private message me if you want to give them a go and i can send them to you x
Sucking on ice cubes is another one, also keep your stomach with food in, no matter how much you dont want to eat it, crackers etc are good as no big flavours for your body to work with. Mash, new pots etc are good too, a lot of woman can cope with that. x

Fab thanks sunflower for all those tips. Ive already got a lolly stash in my snack cupboard so may give them a try, but thanks for the offer. I just worry about the ginger, im not sure ill like it would ginger biscuits be ok instead or is it best to have the actual ginger ??

 

[sunflower2310]

I brought a ton of ginger biscuits as i hate ginger, if you can, get ones that don't have tons of sugar on top lol. No worries for the tips, was puking about 40 times a day and night so anything is worth trying. x
