Morning sickness - for some it stops as suddenly as it started – but for others it can be a daily struggle for 20 or 30 weeks in what was supposed to be the most ‘blooming’ stage in your life.

Acupressure Swarovski Crystal Bands

 

I haven’t been able to eat broccoli and spinach since 2005, as both foods bring me right back to that time of quease. I still have strong smell associations many other foods which are immediate reminders of those horrendous 16 weeks of morning, noon and night sickness. Heidi, 32, was consumed by morning sickness for 20 weeks and couldn’t handle the smell of her nearest and dearest: “even the smell of my husband turned my stomach”.  For many the pain of childbirth makes mums shudder at the memory but for Jen, 28, it’s the memory of “chronic nausea and the constant feeling of being stuck on an unsteady ship at sea that never reached port.”

 The jury is still out on what are the most effective remedies to ‘ease the quease’ but we’ve gathered our top five favourites. 

1. Ice-cold ginger-ale
2. Jacob’s Cream Crackers
3. Strong milky tea – preferably Barry’s but it’s likely that Lyons will work just as well! 
4. Sparking Water – very cold – little sips. 
5. Sea sick bands or for something a little bit dressier (a little bling may perk you up) Accupressure preggy bands by [bump babies]. These little gems work by applying controlled pressure to specific meridian points. Acupressure itself is based on the ancient Chinese practice of acupuncture but without the use of needles or similar instruments. when properly worn applies continuous and gentle pressure on the P6 meridian point, or Nei-Kuan point on each wrist. (They come with exact instructions for the proper location of the P6 point.) Featured in NOW! magazine, these bands are both fashionable and functional.
