I had terrible morning sickness for the first trimester. A few things that I tried which aren't mentioned here:
ReplyDelete- acupuncture (I found relief for the duration of my session although they say it's different for everyone and some people can get relief for up to a week)
- hypnosis; I downloaded the hypnobabies track to help with morning sickness and it helped a little
- there are some websites which demonstrate acupressure techniques for morning sickness (works on the same principle as the seabands (nausea bands) which stimulate the acupressure points on the inner wrist). Be careful though because some pressure points can induce labour.
At the end of the day, the only thing which worked was waiting it out! It's the hardest thing I have ever had to do in my life, alhamdulillah :)
