For a lot of people it doesn't subside until 14 weeks.
Just depends, with my DS it went away at 14 and with this one it is still going (not too bad now) at 20.
Sorry don't know about preggie pops, good luck!:)

I had morning sickness till 16 weeks this time around. I bought some preggy pops and although they didn't help much, they were good to suck on because I always had a yucky taste in my mouth.
I also chewed on glazed ginger and took VitB which helped loads :)
I hope you are feeling better soon (((HUGS))) I know how debilitating it can be.

What are these if you dont mind me asking ?
I had morning sickness all the way through my pregnancy so i had towels & pillows in the toilet cause thats where i lived otherwise i carried buckets around with me everywhere !
I tried everything the sea sickness stuff, maxalon, vitamins, eating biccies before getting out of bed, ginger, maxalon injections.
I was also told about a natural remedy from certain chemists called "pulsatilla" they actually make it instore its a tablet & it worked for all of one day & then had no effect so as we are considering trying for a new bubs next year i need to try other alternatives especially now i have this bubs to look after while pregnant next time. So yeah any info would be great :)

I used Preggie Pops through the worst of it, and they helped heaps, especially the sour fruit flavours. The ginger was not so good, and the lavender flavour - well the smell was enough.
I was nauseous from before 4 weeks right through to 20 weeks, and while I was not actually vomiting, the only things which made me feel well enough to function was some spearmint tea, the preggie pops, and munching on mandarins, which were fortunately in season.
My other great find was a Martin and Pleasance homeopathic preparation. Tissue Salts, Comb-S for upset stomach, but it only worked well when I crushed the tablets in warm water and drank it. It was no good if I chewed them, or dissolved them under my tongue.
Now I'm in my last trimester, and the nausea has returned a bit, and I'm using the Comb-S again, quite effectively.

I had morning sickness with both of my boys - they lasted from virtually the day I conceived to the day they were born!!!
My morning sickness with Jesse went from the 13th February to the 10th of September - my body doesn't handle pregnancy very well!!!
I got thos wristbands with the pressure points in them - yeah, they were rubbish!!
I tried to take them back and get a refund but they wouldn't do it - I tried to explain to them that they didn't do what they said they were going to do - Jesse wears them now as sweatbands when he's playing tennis!

Hi guys,
Well I'd heard of preggie pops, but never seen them in shops. Are they supposed to be in Health Food Shops or are they an internet thing?
LOL Carly - I wonder about the sea bands I'm currently wearing...I bought them and thought they weren't doing anything as I was still feeling sick, however, the day I did away with them I was throwing up later. Since then, I've continued to wear them, and continued to feel sick, but not thrown up - do they work - you tell me.;)

I used preggie Pops ( you buy them off the Internet), and all they did nothing for my all day sickness. They did however taste really nice.

The preggie pops helped me, especially first thing in the morning, when you get that quisey feeling, i also found sea band to be the best, you can get then from the chemist for around $22.00
