I'm currently in my 8th week of pregnancy and am expriencing extreme pregnancy sickness. Yesterday I went and got some of these bands, which are meant to help motion sickness, seasickness and morning sickness (explaining to my unaware work collegues why I was wearing them took some waffling).
I have seen a lot of sites that recommend these for help with morning sickness so this isn't me just making up some obscure myth and sticking with it - this is probably semi-factual.
Yesterday I stuck the bands on straight away and went around to my parents house where I ate a very decent portion of food without feeling sick once. I was fine all evening so kept the bands on.
My sickness basically doesn't allow me to eat or in fact desire food - so I was very grateful for the meal. I fell asleep still wearing the bands after getting a bit nauseous last thing at night, I was looking forward to eating food and drinking drink again without having to vomit everytime there was (or wasnt) something in my stomach.
Today was a different matter though.
I was sick twice after breakfast before leaving for work, and just an hour into work and I'd made four trips to my sick-toilet, and nearly hurled into a sink in the corridor. The bands had no effect. I kept down a bit of breakfast (I think) but was starving when I finished my shift. I removed the bands (which have left rather substantial ugly indents in my wrists) and proceeded to eat an egg and watercress sandwhich and a chocolate bar before heading home.
I have been sick so many times today that my stomach feels bruised inside. I want the burn the usless bands but will continue wearing them regardless. Even if there is a slim chance they will repress the sickness slightly then they are worth wearing - I'm having a hard time with it.
Anyway, I'm going to have to have a nap now (early pregnancy is stupidly tiring) then will maybe review this later and work on a decent skin for my blog.
