Pregnancy Pops - Sweet Relief From Morning Sickness!


Nausea, vomiting, and a heightened sense of smell, are all symptoms of morning sickness in pregnant women. Though morning sickness is the general term used to describe all these symptoms, in actuality the "sickness" can happen at any time of day or night. For most women, morning sickness usually starts around the 4th week of pregnancy and tapers off around the 12th week, or after the first trimester. There are several different ways to find relief from those queasy feelings, but the most fun and tasty way to do this is to suck on pregnancy pops.

Pregnancy pops are lollipops made with all natural ingredients and are a drug free way to help ease morning sickness. There are several different brands of these sweet treats, but the most well known are Preggie Pops by a company called Three Lollies, LLC. Being in the health field, the founders saw how nausea could create such a negative impact on people's lives and upon doing some research, found that many women wanted a more natural ways of dealing with symptoms. The product they came up with was Preggie Pops and they have received great feedback from both health care professionals and their patients.

Preggie Pops come in several different boxes, each containing seven lollipops. The flavors in each pack are as follows:


  • Variety Pack - Peppermint, Spearmint, Lavender, Ginger, Sour Lemon, Sour Tangerine, Sour Raspberry

  • Sour Fruits - Sour Lemon, Sour Tangerine, Sour Raspberry

  • Natural Ginger

  • Natural Mint - Peppermint, Spearmint

It is highly recommended that first time buyers, get the Variety Pack as it allows you to sample each flavor to decide which one works best for your symptoms.

You may be wondering how such a seemingly simple product can help with morning sickness. The answer is in the high quality ingredients used in the lollipops. They are designed to soothe the stomach, alter negative taste sensations, and they smell good which may help those with a heightened sense of smell that may be contributing to morning sickness. Ingredients like mint, lavender, and ginger have been used throughout history to help digestion and ease stomach distress. A lot of women also find that sour flavors help to ease nausea.

All the hormonal activity during pregnancy as well as the need to eat more can cause low blood sugar in pregnant women. Sucking on pregnancy pops can help with this symptom as well, because the natural sugars used in the lollipops are slowly delivered to the system.

Many women have found relief from morning sickness with pregnancy pops, but as with anything, what may work for one person may not work for another. If morning sickness continues to plague you or if in doubt, please do not hesitate to consult your healthcare professional. For many pregnant women, pregnancy pops may be the answer and it just goes to show that lollipops aren't just for kids!
