Sea-Band Mama Anti-Nausea Acupressure Wristband for Morning Sickness, Colors May Vary, Pack of 2

My boyfriend bought these bands for me after I kept on begging him for relief from my early pregnancy symptoms. My symptoms were so bad, I called out sick to work twice. I was extremely nauseous and vomited SEVERAL times throughout the day during my fourth and fifth week. I am an RN and believe medicine so I was very tempted in getting an order of Zofran from my physician. Good thing I didn't have to take any medication that may have possibly put my baby at risk!! I got the band on Wednesday evening and by Thursday morning my symptoms were 100% better!! This band may not work for all women, however for the cost and the price of trying to grow a drug-free healthy baby I highly recommend giving it a try.I've been wearing the bands for five days and I'm completely satisfied. I'm not saying my symptoms have completely disappeared, I am pregnant and expect feel a little discomfort. But I'm not vomiting which is wonderful!! I only take the bands off when I shower and quickly put them back on.For any new pregnant mom with symptoms of "morning sickness" ( all day sickness ) I recommend giving these bands a try. I read a few of these reviews shocked to see how many women prefer to take drugs over just trying something homeopathic that won't hurt the growing fetus.I hope this was helpful :-)

These bands are little miracle workers! While aesthetically they may not be winning any awards and, yes, they can get a little itchy with prolonged wear; That really is of little to no concern when the alternative is needing to lie down 24/7 so as not to loose what little food/ drink you’ve been able to consume because even basic functions leave your stomach turning. (Don’t even get me started on what one thinks about their fashion choices while feeling this way.)As with my first, I am determined to consume as little medication as possible so these were my go to and I’m beyond pleased with the results! While they haven’t completely eliminated my nausea it’s greatly reduced it to the point where I can function again. I still rest as often as possible, hydrate, and eat many small meals throughout the day to help but I’m off the couch and have managed to complete most of my everyday tasks. I was even hungry today and didn’t just have to force myself to eat!I’ve been putting them on first thing in the morning, before my nausea really starts and have been wearing them all day long. I do take them off before bed so my wrists can get a break. Definitely worth every penny!

Why did you pick this product vs others?:The wrist band was missing when I received the order, it did not help with nausea either

I’ve used this in the past and they work like a charm. I get motion sickness and this has helped me on a boat, in a car, etc. My nausea has been pretty minor but with my recently traveling on a flight I felt I needed some reinforcements. The plane ride was pretty bumpy so these definitely helped.Now for the cons, my package arrived in a plastic bubble wrap envelop and the box and carry case were broken. I was slightly irritated I can’t return this for a new case. The wristbands also run pretty small. If you have a large wrist these might cut off the circulation as I had to take them off from time to time too. Wish they were adjustable instead of a one size fits all.

Great when they worked.

Around week 8 the nausea hit pretty hard and it laid me the eff out, I’m talking can’t get off the couch, even thinking of food made me sick to my stomach, simple things like walking my dog were just not happening. This was all while taking B6 and Unisom plus eating small meals frequently. So I was willing to try anything to make me feel like a living, functioning human being again. I had low expectations for these to work and I initially thought they weren’t doing anything but kept them on for a couple hours anyway. Wouldn’t ya know it but I actually started to feel the nausea dissipate! I don’t know if this is just the placebo effect or what, but relief is relief. I can get up and do things without feeling like crap. I wouldn’t say it got rid of all of my nausea but I’m at like a 3 versus a 10 on the nausea scale with the bands on, and can definitely feel the queasiness creep back in when I give my wrists a break. Speaking of which, these things can get a smidge painful after extended wear (like 5-8 hours of wear) so be mindful of that. I just wish that there were a less conspicuous option because the whole 80s sweatband look is not my aesthetic.

The morning sickness continues, and now my wrist hurts...

These come in handy for my daughter in law who was sick her entire pregnancy
