Yeah, the ginger thing is the way to go. At your local health food stores you can get ginger extract in pills, ginger beer, ginger ale, ginger snaps (Raonna, if you loved her enough you would have already made her some) etc. Ashley also tried a peppermint/ginger extract pill that helped.

Another thing that helped Ashley was a decent protein snack (i.e - turkey sandwich) just before bed and I would leave her peanut butter crackers by her bed to eat when she opened her eyes. It seemed that if she ate before her body realized it was awake the nausea stayed a bit.

There has been debate on dramine yes and no but you could safely try the bracelets people wear while deep sea fishing.

I hope you can manage it. Take care. The girls prayed for you last night and are excited wou have a baby in wu tummy.

The highly subjective old wives' (not that I'm old) remedies that I could offer, like Atomic Fireballs, are probably outmoded by the current, and seemingly effective "ginger and Zofran" methods.  I'd be going to the produce aisle and getting some fresh ginger root, shredding it and making it into some recipe to nibble.  The only drawback to that would be, of course, that you would likely begin to associate the taste of ginger with "kutziness".   Might be better to stick to the encapsulated ginger...

We're praying for this to be a short-lived phenomenon at your house.

You've got a happy place, right? Well, go there and wait it out. One thing that helped me, Little Girl, was keeping food in my stomach--not too much, but, simply, something--anything I could tolerate at the moment. Making a concerted effort to eat just a little bit of whatever seemed the least detestable, every couple of hours, made a significant difference overall, where that bone-nausea was concerned. And resting at every opportunity also helped. BTW, I do love you, and I'll make you some gingersnaps soon.

Yeah for Rona's ginger snaps. Someone made them for our joiny Lord's Day Evening service with Auburn and Grace. I thought of you Rona. I can't say they were better.  I can't say they were close or worse because I haven't had your in so long. I will have to sample and report upon my next opportunity.

Hey,

I have no idea who you are, but I accidently clicked on your site from Ashley and Bub's.  When I was in my first trimester, I was sick all day, every day.  Dustin would fix me a glass of ice water.  It was the only thing that worked that eased the sickness.  I ended up having to switch prenatals because it got so bad.  It worked!  The nurse said I was probably taking too many vitamins for my body make use of, or dispose of, quickly enough; therefore, I would get sick.  Now I take my vitamins with a whole glass of water when I go to bed, and I am fine.  Hope this helps some.

Oh, I forgot to mention that depending on how far you are when you go to your appointment, you may be able to hear the baby's heart beat.  Dustin was not able to go when I went, so a friend of mine suggested surprising him by recording the heart beat on a tape recorder.  I played it for him when he got home that night, and he loved it.  After he listened to it, we decided to play it for our family over the phone.  They loved being able to be a part of that, and it helped the baby seem more real to them.

Any relief Jen Jen?

So what will happen/is happening with the cyst?  Will it get better, worse, or cause other problems?  I sure hope you are okay.  Love you, girl
