“Not in anyone's wildest dreams”
was my reply to hubby earlier when he popped off “pregnant forever
and ever”. HAHA! He's CRAZY!!!! Today we officially hit 35
weeks! I feel like there's officially light at the end of the tunnel.
Sweet baby kisses, warm snuggles, soft lullaby's, and maybe just
maybe I can start to feel human again.... I know it's been awhile
since I had the Jeramiah and Maison but this pregnancy definitely
seems to be the hardest.
Among all the other delightful
symptoms of being pregnant the morning sickness (which is more like
all day) never went away! Now it's not every single day but still
several times a week. Of course my doctor was able to give me a
prescription to help but that makes me so tired I can't even function
and not just while taking it but for the following day as well.
I started doing some digging, I know a
little late in the game, and came across Queasy Pops and Preggie PopDrops, both made by Three Lollies.
Now I'm not a doctor, nor have I really
studied how essential oils work but the Queasy Pops are made out of
Dried Cane Syrup, Corn Syrup, Citric Acid, Natural flavors (the
essential oils) and natural colors. Although I don't really
understand HOW they work, I can tell you they have already helped
settle my stomach a couple of different times. I can usually feel
the vomiting coming on and goodness knows if I eat any amount more
than a 2 year old it's there without a doubt, the Queasy Drops have
helped ease the roller- coaster feeling in my stomach.
I ordered a variety pack and found the
Cola to be my favorite flavor!
The Preggie Pop Drops are the same
concept to help with morning sickness but as also noted on Three
Lollies website they can help with dry mouth and “provide a nice
energy boost”. I also ordered a variety pack of the Preggie Pop
Drops, which are going in my hospital bag, and my favorite flavor of
them is the Sour Tangerine! Oh my goodness it's like the perfect
hard candy!
What does Three Lollies say about their
pops?
“What's
in Preggie Pops and how do they work?
Childbirth
educators have historically recommended sour flavored pops for labor
because they were perceived to be less likely to exacerbate queasy
stomachs. Lavender has been widely used in aroma therapy for
relaxation and sometimes for upset stomach as well. Mint has long
been used in both oral and aroma therapies for upset tummies. Ginger
is an ancient remedy for tummy troubles and research shows that mint
has been used for over a hundred years.
We
use the natural essences from these sources to flavor our Preggie
Pops. For nausea caused by hypoglycemia, even the sugar and brown
rice syrup in our pops can be effective. In fact even the mode of
delivery is therapeutic as only a small amount is delivered to the
stomach at a time. So, part of why Preggie Pops work rests on where
your morning sickness is coming from, which is still rather poorly
understood. The overwhelming response from our customers is that our
special formulation does work for most women.
In
development of our Preggie Pops we also incorporated what women
requested or recommended. Our pops are for both labor and morning
sickness and we have tried to address each phase with specific
flavors. However, our customers report using all flavors with success
for both labor and morning sickness.
Preggie
Pops use only natural flavors and colors and there are no medications
to interfere with other therapies or complicate your pregnancy.
In
summary: Our Preggie Pops work by a combination of:
- Specific essential oils flavors known to help stomach problems
- Aromatherapy
- Mode of delivery
- Sugars to combat hypoglycemic queasy stomach
- And, they are safe because they are all natural” (Three Lollies)
