What's In The Kit?

FOR RESEARCH-BASED GUIDANCE

The Hacks Pack

  • There are lots of different opinions about what to buy, but few focus on you and your body. We highlight important products and services for you and the best places to get them—with special discounts just for you.

Expecting Better

FOR NAUSEA

Acupressure Ear Seed Kit + Wrist Bands

FOR HYDRATION

Why Care For Pregnancy: 1st & 2nd Trimester?

For Nausea For Hydration

How Acupressure Ear Seed Kit + Wrist Bands can help

Nausea occurs in 50-90% of all pregnancies, and vomiting occurs in more than half of all pregnancies. This is caused by rising hormone levels in early pregnancy, primarily human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) and progesterone. Symptoms typically occur in early pregnancy, peaking in intensity around weeks 8-12.

Acupressure, a method developed in traditional Chinese medicine which puts continuous pressure on specific body areas without needles, has been shown to alleviate nausea and vomiting—though the research is limited.
  • Motion sickness bands that apply pressure to the P6 pressure point on your wrists have been found to reduce the severity of nausea and the frequency of vomiting in pregnancy.
  • Auricular pressure (including use of ear seeds) involves applying pressure to key points in the ear, which were shown in a randomized double-blind study to provide significant relief for nausea, although it did not provide relief for vomiting.

Why you need to drink more water

Hydration is key in pregnancy, especially if you’re experiencing morning sickness and are vomiting. Hydrating properly can also help with other conditions, like pregnancy rhinitis, for example: Drinking plenty of fluids helps to thin mucus and ease nasal congestion. There isn’t widespread consensus on how much water you should drink daily, but the general recommendation is to drink half your weight in ounces of water daily.

Here are some tips to help you stay hydrated:
  • Drink consistently throughout the day, but take small sips so that sudden changes in fluid volume don’t trigger vomiting.
  • Try sparkling water, as the bubbles may help settle your stomach, and avoid sugary soft drinks when possible.
  • Some find that drinking out of a straw increases water consumption.
  • Cold liquids may be easier to consume than room-temperature beverages.
  • Adding electrolyte tablets to your water can also ensure you get essential minerals to maintain your hydration levels.
  • Consuming foods with a high water content (like watermelon, cucumbers, and fruit-based popsicles) may also help with hydration.
