I was using the Sea Bands at first, until the 9th week. That's when the pit opened.
I was admitted to the hospital and the nurses were impressed that I managed to keep one on. Truth is, I was vomiting so profusely I couldn't get the other one off.
I did tell them that they were a lifesaver for me in the beginning. They didn't make the nausea go away but they did help ease it tremendously. That is till now. Now, they don't phase me. They become more of an annoyance than anything when you are hugging the throne for dear life and they "feel" like they keep getting tighter with each stomach thrust.
At least it feels that way for me. 'Course I'm also now listed as a severe sufferer. I don't think I'm that bad off. Maybe moderate, but I know there are women that are suffering so much more than I am. Even if my doctor says he is happy to hear that no matter how bad I feel I can still see the positive in everything. Like, yes, I'm losing some weight and yes my body is weak and lacking muscle tone, however I am not running the risk of gaining too much weight (150lbs) with the pregnancy. My mom was not a sufferer and gained 175lbs with me. I was born 7lbs, 9oz. Yep, she said that every time she even thought she could be nauseas she ate. I told her that with HG, you are nauseas and can't think of eating, let alone the act of it.
I'm rambling. Sorry 'bout that.
FLUFFY DAYS FOR ALL!
