Cure Morning Sickness Fast

MeesterBlack asked:


Wife recently gave birth to our second child. This last pregnancy, along with our first (<2 years ago), was "complicated". When pregnant, my wife develops a condition called Hyperemesis Gravidarum. Let's just call it the Morning Sickness from Hell 24x7x8-9 months. The only cure is delivery. Just to give you an idea how much of an impact this makes.. my wife only gained 8 lbs from day zero to delivery day. And that wasn't her only complication..

Having experienced a very stressful, difficult time with our first child, we spoke with our doctor and had my wife put on disability starting at about 2-3 months pregnant. My wife's employer did offer paid short term disability. Normally, it would pay about 6 months of continuous benefit up to the beginning of Long Term Disability (LTD) benefits, however, this amount was reduced a few weeks due to some minor surgery and maternity leave following the birth of our first child.

Fast forward to a few weeks ago. She was officially out on disability and we had been in constant communication with the disability administrator (3rd party vendor). We were informed that the short term disability benefits would be cut short for the aforementioned reason(s) and that officially, she would now be on unpaid leave.

About the same timeframe we had been contacted by the LTD company and were determining my wife's benefits. The salary data provided by her employer was way off, so we asked them to investigate. Upon further review of her short term disability policy (STD) we realized that her short term benefits should have been calculated higher as well, so we contacted her local HR rep to get an answer. They couldn't provide one, so they sent the question up to higher levels within HR for a response.

Within approximately two weeks, we had a certified letter of termination stating that she was being fired for "exhaustion of leave". We were never given a choice to continue on or request unpaid leave. This happened literally 2-3 weeks before our child was to be born, and we might add that the medication that was keeping my wife from imploding like a black hole had a price tag of $15,000 a month. Of course, her termination was made retroactive to the last day that her short term benefit ended, which left us holding the bag for the last 2-3 weeks of treatment.

Needless to say, we'll be paying for COBRA for sure, but we find the sequence of events to be very, very shady. Additionally, her company's own short term disability policy says that "employees may be considered for termination following six (6) consecutive months of disability". We had only been out 4 months.

We live in Texas and know this is an "at-will" state in terms of employment, but the circumstances stink to high heaven as far as we can tell. Our own homework with the EEOC points in the direction that this was not a kosher move on their part.
I should clarify. We did apply for and were approved for FMLA. Unfortunately, per company policy my wife was required to take FMLA concurrently with her short term disability. This was exhausted several weeks prior to her termination.

With regards to communication with her employer, she did maintain contact with her supervisor and her local HR representative right up until the end. They had every opportunity to "warn" her that she would lose her job if she did not return to work, notwithstanding the fact that she was still certifiably disabled, but that is a whole other can of worms..

Hello,
My 1st pregnancy I miscarried and the second was a struggle with a bleeding problem until into my 2nd trimester (subchrionic-hematoma). I now have a 10- month old son and am 5 weeks pregnant. I follow a holistic practicioner along with my conventional OBGYN. Instead of taking the easly prescribed pre-natal vitamin, I am targeting my bodies needs with specific vitamins consisting of folic acid, for-till b12, blackstrap molassas, protefood, & calcium. Along with drinking red raspberry leaf, & echineachea tea. My concern is that I feel too good to be pregnant. I have no symptoms at all. No ****** tenderness, or morning sickness. All i have is a growing belly, that seems to get puffier everyday. I could be over reacting from my last 2 bad pregnancy experiences, but I am concerned. Is it possible to have a pregnancy this easy if my body is balanced from the vitamins I am taking along with my diet? Is alternative medicine the cure?

The voice of reason asked:


I was being treated for a reaccuring UTI for 7 months. It wasn’t until they discovered I had a yeast infection that was causing the UTI that I was cured. After getting better I have been having problems eating. I never feel full, I just eat till I feel lightly nauseas. Now, over 5 months later, I am 14 weeks pregnant and suffering from morning sickness but also from horrible cramps. How to best explain it: the feeling you get when your stomach growls, but instead of fading it holds onto that small cramp. If I’m nauseas when it happens, I’ll vomit. Also I feel the hunger pain even if I’ve eaten. Has anyone heard of this? Does it sound like I have a medical problem with my stomach?

juiicy asked:

Never, put your banana in the refrigerator!!!
This is interesting.
After reading this, you’ll never look at a banana in the same way again.

Bananas contain three natural sugars – sucrose, fructose and glucose combined with fiber. A banana gives an instant, sustained and substantial boost of energy.
Research has proven that just two bananas provide enough energy for a strenuous 90-minute workout. No wonder the banana is the number one fruit with the world’s leading athletes.
But energy isn’t the only way a banana can help us keep fit.
It can also help overcome or prevent a substantial number of illnesses and conditions, making it a must to add to our daily diet.

Depression: According to a recent survey undertaken by MIND amongst people suffering from depression, many felt much better after eating a banana. This is because bananas contain tryptophan, a type of protein that the body converts into serotonin, known to make you relax, improve your mood and generally make you feel happier.
PMS: Forget the pills – eat a banana. The vitamin B6 it contains regulates blood glucose levels, which can affect your mood.

Anemia: High in iron, bananas can stimulate the production of hemoglobin in the blood and so helps in cases of anemia.
Blood Pressure: This unique tropical fruit is extremely high in potassium yet low in salt, making it perfect to beat blood pressure. So much so, the US Food and Drug Administration has just allowed the banana industry to make official claims for the fruit’s ability to reduce the risk of blood pressure and stroke.

Brain Power: 200 students at a Twickenham (Middlesex) school were helped through their exams this year by eating bananas at breakfast, break, and lunch in a bid to boost their brain power. Research has shown that the potassium-packed fruit can assist learning by making pupils more alert.
Constipation: High in fiber, including bananas in the diet can help restore normal bowel action, helping to overcome the problem without resorting to laxatives.
Hangovers: One of the quickest
ways of curing a hangover is to make a banana milkshake, sweetened with honey. The banana calms the stomach and, with the help of the honey, builds up depleted blood sugar levels, while the milk soothes and re-hydrates your system.
Heartburn: Bananas have a natural antacid effect in the body, so if you suffer from heartburn, try eating a banana for soothing relief.

Morning Sickness: Snacking on bananas between meals helps to keep blood sugar levels up and avoid morning sickness.
Mosquito bites: Before reaching for the insect bite cream, try rubbing the affected area with the inside of a banana skin. Many people find it amazingly successful at reducing swelling and irritation.
Nerves: Bananas are high in B vitamins that help calm the nervous system.

Overweight and at work? Studies at the Institute of Psychology in Austria found pressure at wor k leads to gorging on comfort food like chocolate and crisps. Looking at 5,000 hospital patients, researchers found the most obese were more likely to be in high-pressure jobs. The report concluded that, to avoid panic-induced food cravings, we need to control our blood sugar levels by snacking on high carbohydrate foods every two hours to keep levels steady.
Ulcers: The banana is used as the dietary food against intestinal disorders because of its soft texture and smoothness. It is the only raw fruit that can be eaten without distress in over-chronicler cases. It also neutralizes over-acidity and reduces irritation by coating the lining of the stomach.
Temperature control: Many other cultures see bananas as a “cooling” fruit that can lower both the physical and emotional temperature of expectant mothers. In Thailand , for example, pregnant women eat bananas to ensure their baby is born with a cool temperature.

Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD): Bananas can help SAD sufferers because they contain the natural mood enhancer tryptophan.
Smoking &Tobacco Use: Bananas can also help people trying to give up smoking. The B6, B12 they contain, as well as the potassium and magnesium found in them, help the body recover from the effects of nicotine withdrawal.
Stress: Potassium is a vital mineral, which helps normalize the heartbeat, sends oxygen to the brain and regulates your body’s water balance. When we are stressed, our metabolic rate rises, thereby reducing our potassium levels. These can be rebalanced with the help of a high-potassium banana snack.
Strokes: According to research in The New England Journal of Medicine, eating bananas as part of a regular diet can cut the risk of death by strokes by as much as 40%!
Warts: Those keen on natural alternatives swear that if you want to kill off a wart, take a piece of banana skin and place it on the wart, with the yellow side out. Carefully hold the skin in place with a plaster or surgical tape!

So, a banana really is a natural remedy for many ills. When you compare it to an apple, it has four times the protein, twice the carbohydrate, three times the phosphorus, five times the vitamin A and iron, and twice the other vitamins and minerals. It is also rich in potassium and is one of the best value foods around So maybe its time to change that well-known phrase so that we say, “A banana a day keeps the doctor away!”
PASS IT ON TO YOUR FRIENDS
PS: Bananas must be the reason monkeys are so happy all the time! I will add one here; want a quick shine on our shoes?? Take the INSIDE of the banana skin, and rub directly on the shoe…polish with dry cloth. Amazing fruit !

By now I know there’s no cure for morning sickness. I know it won’t get better (sick all 40 weeks with 1st). But how do I keep up my morale and energy?

So Over IT22 asked:


I just want to cure it and get on with my life. I feel miserable! I’m also in the nesting stage and I can’t clean up properly. And i can only eat small amounts of food. Finally I’m one of the ‘lucky’ ones who gets the morning sickness throughout my whole pregnancy. Please help!

cathy_cmr asked:


I’ve heard the protein helps, and when I had morning sickness, poached egg on toast helped a lot. I’m trying to find something that says they are, but not really finding much. Thanks!
