I too mainly get sick when pregnant (and having gone through 4 pregnancies within 6 years - This has been most of my adult life). Ginger does help but I hate the taste. The magnets work well but the best for me were peppermint Life Savers. Have you tried magnets or peppermint?

Several years ago I had some major surgery and had a male navy nurse in recovery attending - when I awoke from the anesthesia I was sooo nauseous and he just ripped open one of those alcohol wipes they all carry and put it up to my nose and said breath. Worked! Also worked on a pregnant friend and her morning sickness. Easy enough to carry with you in the plain also. Sounds a bit bizarre but try breathing rubbing alcohol (if you aren’t allergic).

Ugh. I wish I had some examples of ways to help yourself, but it looks like the lovely readers ahead of me have a few good ones. I have heard of ginger root - you should probably try that soon. I am heading over to the next post to view those photos right now. I LOVE that part of this country...it really is spectacular isn't it?! Oh Katie I’m so sorry to hear you get to sick in the air.

Motion sickness is the bane of my existence. Indy and I are flying to the States in a few weeks and I am soooooo not looking forward to the flight. I have no fear of flying, I just get terribly sick. I've never actually had to use the airsickness bag, but I think that's only because of iron will. I hate to vomit and doing so on a plane is just so far beyond what is acceptable to me. I take Dramamine and I've tried a million other things, but I still get queasy. Best of luck to you conquering it. Bless your heart. Motion sickness is the bane of my existence.

I have been blessed with a stomach of iron. I love spinning and butterflies and all that stuff. Except when I'm pregnant, then I'm sick for like 9 months straight. It's horrible, it really is. I try to remind myself that it's temporary, but in the moment it's hard to believe and also hard to care. You just want it to be over. I hope it is for you soon. :) I hope the motion sickness gets better soon. I have been blessed with a stomach of iron. I love spinning and butterflies and all that stuff.
