Has anyone tried these?
Did they help?
I have in the past sucked on hard candy to help the waves of nausea subside a bit and thought these looked promising....
Well, just eight more weeks to go until I start to feel better!

Jennifer,
I find that sugar does me in. Seven grams of sugar and I'd about die . Each one of those has seven grams of sugar in the form of corn syrup. It just wouldn't work for me.
I've found this tea to be somewhat helpful. Sorry about the picture on the label  .

Jennifer,
They didn't work for me at all - and I tried everything! It's the sugar. Anything with sugar.
Lemon helped me a little. Just a quarter of a lemon - eat everything but the rind. Sometimes a little salt too. Seriously.

I never tried preggie pops but I had great success with Gin Gins. I happen to have a bag handy (not pregnant--not sure why they're lying around!) and they have 7g of sugar per serving but a serving is three pieces and I found that one piece really took the edge off nausea for me. The ingredients are: sugar, glucose syrup, ginger.
good luck!
Susan

The tea is on the way....Thanks for the link! 
I don't like to do corn syrup--so thanks for the heads up there!

Jennifer ~
Congratulations!
I have tried them. They didn't work for me and some of the flavors I couldn't tolerate.
This last pregnancy I wore seabands. I looked like a  , but I was willing them to work as they were my last resort before starting Zofran again and I really think they made a difference.

Thanks, Ladies!
Ah, Sea Bands--I will send dh out to get some tonight...I had a friend who recommended them, too! Maybe sucking lemons while wearing seabands and sipping Elizabeth's tea with a Gin Gin as a chaser will be the perfect mix? I'm so desperate, I'm going to try it all. Sleep is the only thing that works and the kids aren't keen on my sleeping 24/7...Go figure!

Sugar or fat made me sick, but I found ginger products helpful.

I second Deborah's advice...ginger products.
Also obviously the lemon too. I hadn't heard about seabands this time around. If we are blessed again in the future, I'm going to commit that advice to memory too!

The tea did not work for me - I still have a jar and cannot even bear to look at it!! Neither did ginger products! The acupuncture bracelets/seabands helped somewhat. I needed something to take away the taste in my mouth - the lollipops did not work. The only thing I could keep down was ice-cold Perrier sparkling water with a squeeze of lemon. Sometimes Xylitol gum helped - but not on a very empty stomach
