Anyone else feeling car sick?

I feel carsick normally and it's worse now! I think it's a pregnancy thing.

Yep, I think my m/s started after a car trip. I got some of those seasickness bands and wore them all day for my m/s. I then ended up having to buy a set for DD to wear in the car as well.

had the problem in all of my pregnancies, last time I even got car sick whilst driving. As my job as an occupational therapist involved driving to do home visits at patients homes this wasn't good, especially if the first thing I asked when I got there was if I could use their loo to throw up!!!
It got better towards the end of the pregnancy.
Hope you feel better soon,

Thanks girls for the advice. Just when m morning sickness stops then I get something else that makes me feel sick! I think DP is getting used to me saying "I feel sick"!

I have always got carsick, my whole life. there's a pressure point behind your belly button which helps to stop it, and maybe bubs is pushing it the wrong way?!? (No medical foundation in this suggestion at all!)
Ginger really helps me with carsickness - on the way down to our wedding, a 7 hour drive, I ate about a cup of Japanese pickled ginger! Also, ginger beer helps. Anything ginger, really! I don't know if Vicks VapoRub is pregnancy safe, but I've heard that some people rub that around their belly button and that helps. What I used to sometimes do is put a bandaid over my belly button so it sucks in, and it makes a difference (yes, everyone pays me out and says it's a placebo, but a lot of people also say you grow out of carsickness, and at 27 I obviously haven't!) but that wouldn't work if you have an outie, and I don't know about a pg belly!

Good luck! I hope it gets better!

Oh yep, on and off during this and my pregnancy I would get it terribly. Especially in the first timester when I had m/s too but even later on.
I always have a large pack of peppermints in the car just for those occasions. They seem to ease it a little otherwise if I drive that makes it better too! Good luck.

I got car sick when I was little but forgot about it when a driver. But with each child my motion sickness has gotten worse. I remember with #1 going to the cinema and having to run out (missed the best part of Gladiator!)

Then after #2 I still had the same problem and couldn't go on any show rides anymore!!

I dread to think what i'll be like after this one, i'll be lucky if I can walk without making myself sick
