My current list of evil foodstuffs to be banished are:
- onions
- fried food
- oranges
- tumeric
- rice
I am just starting to feel a bit better. The only thing that really works for me is keeping my head really still, moving slowly and not trying to do anything much. Sleeping with my head raised up seems to help too.
I tried:
- ginger – 1 teaspoon grated into hot water, didn’t work
- crystallised ginger – didn’t work
- peppermint – a few leaves in hot water, didn’t work
- travel bands – elastic things that you wear on your wrists that apply pressure to a point supposed to stop nausea – didn’t work but hurt slightly, thus taking my mind off things.
- dry toast/crackers etc – no use
The only thing that worked for me was banana smoothies – made with banana and live yoghurt and cardamom, apparently the vitamin B12 in the yoghurt is good for nausea and I am still drinking these for breakfast as they are easy to keep down. I find that I need to eat a large breakfast as soon as I get up or I feel rough. Sugary things like cake and biscuits stay down too.
I have been better since I have been taking pregnancy multivitamins, I don’t know if this is to do with the stage I am at or the vitamins but I read that magnesium and zinc are good for sickness. And lastly, my lovely shiatsu lady suggested applying pressure to the top of the head and just below the sternum (not at the same time!) as ways to stop feeling nauseous.
This is probably nothing to worry about, I have no signs of MC – no cramps no bleeding no nothing, I feel nauseous most of the time and dizzy often so all the signs point to things going well. Trouble is that now I have all this time on my hands I have started to think and my thoughts lead to….Is it possible to MC without any symptoms?
