Today's Attempt: Almonds

I'd read several places that almonds were a good way to reduce pregnancy nausea. I will try anything short of crack that claims to reduce pregnancy nausea, so 24 hours and $4 later, I had a can of almonds in the house.

No dice. Not only are they ineffective at reducing nausea (for me, I mean), they're a grainy, pasty thing to try to chew and swallow when you're queasy. Little teeny bits cling to my mouth and throat, making me cough and then, of course, gag.

FYI, I don't know if it works, but I heard apricot juice or dried apricots. It didn't work for me, but thought I'd pass it along.

Good luck!

Thanks, I'll definitely try it!

Did you just try boring salted almonds? How about smoked? Might make you more nauseous though.

I tried the plain salted kind. My mom had a can of the smoked ones, and the smell nearly knocked me over. Usually I luuuuuuurrrrrve the smoked ones, but I guess not when I'm pregnant.
