Hypremesis and excess salivation in pregnacy with possible gestational diabetes

[Guest guest]

hi, does anyone know anything that is helpful for hypremesis, that

is feeling and being sick in pregnancy <not the usual normal morning

sickness> but i don't really know very much about this unusual

condition.

none of the usual morning sickness remedies help.

She is also salivating a lot of the time which, understandably, she

finds rather distressing.

the only remedies i know of for excess salivation are not the kind

of herbs i would give to a pregnant woman!

this is her second pregnancy.

she suffered from the hypremesis in the first one but did not have

the excess salivation.

she also had gestational diabetes and they are testing her for that

at the moment.

she is concerned that if i give her a tea she won't be able to drink

it because it will make her sick.

i am going to give her some lycium berries which are good for

morning sickness <though i'm not sure which kind> and diabetes so

they seem right, and some nervines.

any advice would be much appreciated, especially with the excess

salivation, which is sticky, she says.

something to break up the stickiness may help but i don't think that

will get to the root of the problem.

it is so difficult in pregnacy as there are so very very many contra-

indications.

thanking you lot in anticipation!

peace, anna

thankyou for doing that for for me.

controling the blood sugar levels and taking oats for steady release

of carbos and the vitamins sounds good.

she can't tolerate fennel or any herb teas in fact and she doesn't

want ginger either unfortunately but she is interested in the Lycium

fruit i thought would be an appropriate remedy.

she has just started on some pills but i can't remeber what they are

called.

she said they help a little with the nausea but not the salivation,

she thinks they may have some cannabis component but is not sure.

anyways, i shall keep searching but in the way you suggested.

thankx again for your help,
