I dont have MS yet but something similiar, whats good for it?
For the last few days Ive been feeling like I want to vomit, but dont. Its like a gagging sensation....I have a feeling MS is going to strike soon though. What is good to take to help this gagging/MS feeling?

I liked Preggie Pops. My ms wasn't awful (i never threw up) but I had some rough days with it. I kept the Preggie Pop drops (the sucking candy, not the lollipop) on hand and would pop a few of them and they worked great for me!

I used Preggie Pops, but sometimes it just got worse after I was done with the pop. I too never got sick, just kept feeling yucky!
My LNP suggested Pepcid AC every morning and it worked, never had the feeling again. I stayed on it until 12 1/2 weeks and then stopped to see of the yucky feeling went away and it did. Hope you feel better soon.

I never got sick from m/s, but I always felt like I was going to in my first trimester.
I got a prescription for Zofran from my doctor that I took sparingly to try to curb the nausea. I usually tried to take it at night so that I didn't wake up feeling nauseous and that seemed to work.
Just because you feel so nauseous, doens't mean you'll necessarily get physically sick - hopefully you don't!! 
Feel better!

That is M/S. You just haven't actually thrown up yet. One always eat something. And you can try preggie pops or ginger candies. I also drank powerade cause it has Vit B which is supposed to help with the nauseous feeling. You can also take a b6 pill to help.

You can also get them at maternity clothing stores. Destination Maternity always has them up front by the checkout line.
I also kept saltines w/me at all times and would eat one or two as soon as I woke up every morning. I also sipped on ginger ale.

ginger ale and cracker. I only threw up a handful of times, but was in a constant state of gagging for quite a few weeks.

I had that also. I only threw up once, but for a few weeks I gagged and dry-heaved every morning. Saltines and tic tacs, and seltzer helped settle my stomach

Re: I dont have MS yet but something similiar, whats good for it?
I also agree with PP who said to always keep something in your stomach. My ms always flared up when my stomach was empty, which was a terrible thing because then it was so hard to eat bc I felt nauseous! I used to try to keep little snacks stashed everywhere- at work, in the car, in my nightstand- so I could make sure my stomach never really got empty.

Re: I dont have MS yet but something similiar, whats good for it?
Thanks ladies! I always thought MS was only if you threw up...guess mine is starting early. I have to say, though annoying and uncomfortable Im glad to have it! Im so glad to have a symptom this time around. I will look into all of the advice you ladies gave and will try some of these things!

Re: I dont have MS yet but something similiar, whats good for it?
before you try meds, find out your trigger. Mine was hunger or gas (seriously!) if i feel nausea coming on, I make sure i eat something (carbs) and also try to belch 
I love eating watermelon bc its cool and refreshing and read that it also helps with ms.
good luck!
ETA: I also chewed on pepermints or gum and that helped as well.

Yea, I really didnt want to go the medication route just yet. I want to try something more natural first. I think Im going to go with peppermints, watermelon or ginger

Try eating many small meal/snacks. The only time I had nausea was when I went too long without eating. Animal crackers were my best friend!

they are wristbands you wear with a little ball that hits an acupressure point that helps with motion sickness/nausea/morning sickness.
No drugs/side effects and they help!

I heard about these just after I hit my 12week mark. I heard they work really well. I always had peppermint tea, saltines, gingerale or gatorade on hand. Gatorade helped alot for me this time around.
