You could try iceblocks. I ate so many lemonade popsicles and frujus in the first trimester as I couldn't drink water unless it was ice cold and couldn't drink anything else either. ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

Hey Stacey  Huge congrats to you!! Wishing you all the very best 
Have you tried drinks like Powerade, Mizone? I lived on these for a while. I also watered them down a bit as they were a bit to 'sweet'. Ice/Ice blocks would be a great idea too Crunching on ice chips.. mmmmm!------------- Jess  http://lilypie.com">

I went and got some milk first thing this morn and it came straight back up too. Bummer cause that worked great with Daniel and Jared.
I'll have to get some iceblocks and try that. I'm getting tired of the headaches cause I'm not getting enough fluid. |

No doc, I didn't know drugs for morning sickness existed when I was preg with Daniel and he was healthy. I used them with Jared and he had a major abnormality so I don't want to go down the drug route unless I absolutely have to.
I got some ice blocks, I've had 2 and they have stayed down thus far. Will see if it stays that way. |

I lived on bundem (i know I haven't spelt that correctly though) ginger cordial - found the ginger really helped the MS. I liked it best as a hot drink I could sip at, as I found drinking any decent amount in one go never ended well. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Thanks I'll try something like that next if the ice blocks stop working.
I'm up to ice block number 3, my body is enjoying getting some fluid again, headache is disappearing at last |

Hmm I used to munch on ice chips aswell, just an idea if your not wanting to fork out on ice-blocks all the time and feeling like something a little less sweet, coz I know I had my moments of that... hope your MS goes away soon hun, I totally empathise! -------------

I second (or third) lemonade iceblocks - they were pretty much all I ate for months with all my pregnancies. Also, with the gremlins I drank litres and litres of Ribena - for some reason I couldn't stomach water, but weak Ribena was OK. -------------  Maya Grace (28/02/03)

| Is there any chance that you can go and get some fluids at your doctors or medical centre? i used to pop in every couple of days with DD2 and get topped up as needed...i also had ketostix (buy them from the chemist) to check my urine to see how dehydrated i was so i knew when to go and get my fluids topped up. It did make alot of difference. |
