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 :-)

I’m experiencing a tremendous amount of all day nausea with my pregnancy and I’ve tried the preggie pops, eating small meals etc. and nothing was helping to curb the urge to throw up!I got these yesterday, put them on before bed and when I woke up I actually had an appetite and was able to get food and water down! These things truly work, just make sure you wear them at the correct placement. I’m so grateful for this product!

Although I was careful to place the band correctly, I never could get noticeable results from this for my first trimester morning sickness. Pressing on the bead to "increase its effectiveness" did nothing but leave a red mark that lasted the rest of the day. Eventually I tried moving the bands slightly around in case I had the pressure point wrong, but that did not help, either. These cannot be worn for long because they are very tight. Even if I did not press on them, they would leave marks on my wrist. After the first time I tried to wear them and tried to no avail for 20 minutes or so to get them to work, my wrists were actually a bit sore for a few days as if bruised. I am sure they work for some people, but not me. I was just nauseous with hurting wrists that did not quite distract me from the nausea.I still give this three stars, though, because they did seem to help me a little tiny bit with controlling my nausea while driving. Motion sickness is not something I struggled with much before pregnancy but it hit me hard during my first trimester. They were bearable for a 10-15 minute drive to work but did not help so much that they were indispensable. They took a tiny bit of the edge off. I would bring these on a cruise before I would recommend them glowingly to an expectant mother, but they are always worth a try since everyone reacts differently.

I have had two pregnancies with particularly severe nausea- my second and my fifth. I had tried these my second pregnancy, but I couldn't find them (probably because I chucked them) so I bought them again when I was sick as a dog this fifth time. (Pregnancy amnesia? Totally couldn't remember if they worked at all). They actually made me feel worse and I am pretty sure I was applying them in the right place. I hung in there for a few days, it was awful. Plus, my wrists are thin to normal size, yet they left deep marks and were pretty tight. I know I won't dissuade you, if you are like me and so sick you are willing to throw money at any solution, and who knows, maybe they might work? But if you are actively throwing up every day, I highly recommend getting zofran from your provider. It gave me at least a two hour break from gagging twice a day. The good news? My nausea went into the realm of average to normal after a few weeks. Good luck. Sip vitamin water, nibble crackers, suck on life savers, stay away from things that smell like cat poop , baby poop, trash cans, or meats. And sleep a lot if you can. Because a 24 hour day is only 6 hours long if you spend 18 hours unconscious.

Great when they worked.

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!

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