The moment I found out I was pregnant again, I was speechless for the whole day. I couldn't sort out my feelings, I couldn't figure out if I was happy, sad, scared, or whatever. The only memory that came rushing to my mind is my endless battle with nausea or
morning sickness. I'm one of the few pregnant moms(I say FEW because I haven't met anyone who had a similar battle with morning sickness like I did....
oh well except for my mom I guess) who continued to battle morning sickness even until the last month of their pregnancy. In my case, I kept throwing up even on the very day that I was going to give birth to my little Zach. These memories reminded me that I have to prepare myself for another battle. How I wish I could just be like my friends who had no trouble with morning sickness, who could eat whatever they want and still enjoy the actual taste of the food without worrying whether the food they just ate could actually stay for more than 10 minutes inside their tummies. How I wish I could drink water and fruit juices without worrying if it can actually stay in my body for even just 5 minutes.....whew~. I wish for so many things but I guess the difficulties that I have to face during my pregnancy would be all worth it when I finally hold the baby in my arms.
Anyway, I've always been in the look out for any method that can alleviate the severity of my morning sickness (melting ice cubes in your mouth, eating crackers, etc.) but every method I found gave me no amount of comfort at all. While searching for other information on morning sickness, I came across
PSI bands. PSI bands(pronounced as "SIGH bands") are drug free acupressure wrist bands that gives relief to nausea caused by morning sickness (pregnancy), motion sickness, chemotherapy, and even anesthesia. This acupressure wrist band has been so popular in the United States that even Martha Stewart and Oprah Winfrey featured it in their respective magazines.
I thought I should give this a try and so I spent an entire day searching for the
exclusive distributor of PSI bands in Korea. I could buy it easily in any of Korea's online shops but I was glad I decided to buy it directly from PSI bands exclusive distributor because the bands would have been 69,000 won if I bought it in the online shops ( I bought it for 55,000 won, it was actually on sale in the exclusive distributor's website...kkkkk). The product got delivered today and I'm already wearing it, I'm really keeping my fingers crossed....I hope this one will work so I that I can finally enjoy my pregnancy. Wish me luck.

naku, yung mom ko ganyan din cher. Nauseous din siya lagi the whole time na pinagbubuntis niya ko and even nung sa younger brother ko. hope the psi band works :)
congrats ulet sa padating na baby! tc ^^
think of happy thoughts:-) tingnan mo lagi si Zach kapag nahihirapan ka hahahaha. ganyan ka-gwapo ang lumabas sa 'yo.
Hope you have a safe and healthy pregnancy, ate Cher. I have a couple of friends who experienced very sensitive pregnancy. One experienced hyperemesis gravidarum. They had to put a central line on her to get her nutrition infused. She was on leave for a long time. When she gave birth, months after, she was complaining of pain on her breast and was diagnosed with breast cancer. She has to have chemotherapy so she lost a lot of weight from vomiting. Awful, but staying strong.
