I don’t know why it works, but I’ve discovered the perfect remedy for me to not feel so sick while I’m trying to fall asleep. After I’m all ready for bed, I pop a starlight mint or a cough drop into my mouth, and then I suck on it as long as possible while I’m trying to fall asleep. Of course, it takes me a long time to fall asleep, so the mint is gone before then. But the effect of it lasts until I’m asleep.

I don’t know why it works, but I’m not worried about that. I’m just going to buy a big bag of cough drops!

P.S.  Update:  After some experimenting, I’ve found that mints actually work better than cough drops.   So if you try this idea, next time you’re pregnant, try the mints first.
