Weird things that I wish I had known earlier

I managed to eat my way through a pack a day a few weeks ago... the heartburn has settled down now but NOTHING worked like Fruit Tingles (and they were much yummier too!).

One of my Bellyuddies swears by chocolate as her morning sickness remedy (which I have to agree does actually work ... for me its rich dark chocolate and for some reason I am fine all day!).

I have had really bad heartburn and I am going to buy some fruit tingles tomorrow! I wish i'd known this months ago! Nothing has really helped, and it can be quite painful... I am so glad I found this thread!! Surfing bellybelly on a Sat night really pays off!!!

hi well I never hear this but I had horrible horrible heartbeat when preg with Noah so if it happens next time I will certainly be trying the fruit tingles!!

I can vouch for chocolate as a m/s remedy. I have a bit with a cup of tea first thing and the half an hour later I'm ready for a decent brekkie

Something else I found to help with a tummy ache / nausea is Licorish (sp??). I heard somewhere that you need to limit your intake though while pg.

I ate a stick just last night when I had bad reflux (I was waking up choking on what was coming back up Gross I know) and it gave me a horrible stomach ache, within a couple of mins I was feeling fine and my belly ache had gone.

I think aniseed has a numbing/soothing property in it naturally- but I could be totally wrong

Fruit tingles also work for nausea, not just heartburn!

Fruit tingles are working for me since buying some on Sunday... but maybe it is a placebo effect, either way its a yummy treat!

Fruit tingles. Hmmm. FRUIT TINGLES!!!!!!!!!! I bought myself a bag of the little rolls today. I doubt whether the bag will last the day! I can't stop eating them! They make me feel good, but I have to keep eating them.
I swear, all I am eating in the pg, is junk food. Whilst I can afford to put on weight, I somehow doubt that it is doing anything for me nutritionally.
However, I will keep eating the fruit tingles, until there are none left!

URGH! Now I feel sick from eating too many fruit tingles!
