Mike-Morning Sickness

[Guest guest]

Just thought I'd add -

We got these bands for my kids when we crossed the English channel on a ferry.

Not one of them got sea sick, but I sure did! I put them on after I started

getting sick, and I think it was too late. So, maybe if you wear them all the

time, it will help, rather than just putting them on when you feel sick. I

don't know - just a thought.......

Re: Mike-Morning Sickness

Hi Claire,

The sea sickness bands that Jill suggested are very good for

pregnancy related nausea - my cousin was really ill while carrying

her first child and tried all sorts of things. She finally tried the

wrist bands out of desperation and found they helped enormously.

I hope that you find something that works well for you Darl and the

nausea subsides soon. Take care.

Love and hugs....Jo

OK - back with yours again. If you haven't already seen it, I did

reply to Jill and Jo about the seasickness wrist bands and agreed

that they were good things because they were actually working some

acupressure points.

Here are some others you can use.

Stomach 36 - four finger widths below the kneecap, one finger width

outside of the shinbone. A muscle should flex as you move your foot

up and down

Benefits: aids digestion and relieves nausea, stomach disorders and

fatigue. It is also a constipation point.

Liver 3 - on the top of the foot, in the valley between the big toe

and the second toe (where it feels like bones or tendons coming

together)

Benefits: relieves nausea and cramps.

Stomach 45 - on the outside of the base of the nail of the second toe

Benefits: relieves nausea, indigestion, food poisoning, toothaches

and abdominal pain

There are a couple of others but I think the descriptions are too

complicated to walk through with out having detailed pictures to go

with them.

Also, as you get further along, there are other points that can be

used for relieving labor pains and postpartum recovery. There is

also one ankle point that is forbidden for use during pregnancy with

one obvious exception. It is forbidden because deep pressure can

help induce labor. The obvious exception is if the doctor says you

are ready and you want labor to start.

In addition, there are points that can help with many of the

discomforts of pregnancy, such as low back pain, but I will cover

those for those conditions rather than just for pregnancy.

Hi all,

Thanks for all your advice. I got the Sea Bands & they seem to be

working,but they feel abit uncomfortable on my wrists where the white bit

of plastic pushes on the accupresure point.
