Morning sickness pops are ingenious little lollipops that are specially made for pregnant women who are experiencing morning sickness.  Many women swear by them and always keep a supply on hand.  So what makes them so special and why should you try them?

The most popular brand is Preggie Pops and you will often see them sold at health food stores and some of the major maternity clothing stores.  They not only come in lollipop form, but they also make drops too which are more like a hard candy.

They are made with natural ingredients and essential oils and come in a variety of flavors.  Ginger is commonly used for stomach upsets and is great for nausea.  The sour fruit flavors – sour raspberry, sour lemon and sour tangerine help ease nausea for many women.  Mint is another natural remedy for settling stomachs and can be found in the peppermint and spearmint flavors.    Lastly is lavender which is mostly used for relaxation (which every pregnant woman can use).

The great thing about these pops is that they are convenient and can be used anywhere.  They are also easy to take with you and can be stashed in your purse for a quick pick-me-up.  Add that to the fact that they are drug-free and you’ll realize that morning sickness pops are a great remedy to at least try.

Many women have used ginger for morning sickness since it is one of the most commonly recommended natural remedies.  While their are claims of its effectiveness in fighting nausea and vomiting, there are also claims that it is not safe to use during pregnancy.

Ginger has been used for centuries as a way to fight nausea.  Some say it has an effect on the brain that reduces the message of nausea.  Others say it aids in digestion which reduces the feeling of nausea in the stomach.  Either way, for many people it seems to work.

But when used as a morning sickness remedy, there are definitely mixed messages.  Some healthcare professionals claim it is safe and others say it shouldn’t be used during pregnancy.  So, what are the reasons they say that it shouldn’t be used?

One of the first claims is that ginger may cause mutations.  However, the same “study” showed that ginger had properties to prevent mutations.  This can be very crucial for a newly forming embryo.  In the first trimester, when morning sickness is at its peak, the internal organs are forming and growing.

The second claim is that it can cause contractions of the uterus.  Contractions can cause premature labor and is obviously not a desired side effect due to the dangers to the unborn baby to be born early.

One of the last claims is that ginger interferes with testosterone binding in the unborn baby.  Apparently this can have life-long issues for the baby after it is born if the hormones levels are not correct.

Please make note that none of these claims have any solid research studies to support them.  It has been said that since there is no solid evidence to support the claims, that it is generally safe to use ginger for morning sickness, as long as it is used in small quantities.  It is up to each individual woman to speak with her doctor and decide if the possible side effects are worth the risk.

If you’re pregnant and miserable due to morning sickness, let me just start off by saying that I can really empathize!  Are you searching for the best natural remedies for morning sickness because you’re afraid of taking medications that may harm your baby?  Adequate research has not been done on the effect of most medications on a developing fetus.

Although there are many natural remedies for morning sickness, not all of them are effective.  Since morning sickness  can seriously disrupt your life, you need something that is going to work and will work quickly so you can get back to feeling normal and enjoy your pregnancy.

You may be feeling especially terrible right now with nausea caused by the smallest things.  Whether it’s brought on by waking up, the smell of food, eating or just the thought of eating, you CAN get relief.  Whether you’re vomiting once a day or several times per day, you are losing fluids and nutrition that you and your baby need.  You need a remedy that will work for you as soon as possible.

I know that I spent far too much of my pregnancies either in bed or in the bathroom.  I tried to use Phenergan, but it made me too sleepy and doped up to even function, so I can only imagine what effect it may have had on my baby.  Thank goodness I was able to find something that helped me so that I could stop taking medication!

I hope you’ll also be able to find a natural remedy that works for you, because nobody deserves to feel horrible.  Remember that you don’t have to suffer through your pregnancy – just click here to read Morning Sickness Relief and hopefully you’ll be feeling better quickly!
