“Lillipops….the natural way to ease you through your morning sickness”.
Lillipops are specially formulated iced soothies that are described as being “for pregnant women as a delicious way to ease nausea, relieve heartburn and stay hydrated during pregnancy”. As well as hydrating, easing nausea and heartburn they may alleviate dry mouth, provide energy and are a soothing way to ease morning sickness and associated symptoms. A vast amount of research was carried out into the ingredients to use so that the ice dsoothies flavours could both be delectable and beneficial for pregnant women. Lillipops consists of 5 delicious flavours of iced soothies –
* Revitalising Lemon and Mint
* Revitalising Lemon and Mint
* Refreshing Grapefruit and Tangerine
* Calming Camomile and Orange
* Energising Lime and Vanilla
Lillipops are naturally flavoured and contain NO artificial colourings, sugar or flavourings. They are safe to use in pregnancy for both mum and baby.
Two of my pregnant friends tested these iced pops out for me to see if they helped ease their morning sickness and symptoms. Miss S who is in the very early stages of pregnancy only being 6 weeks pregnant and is feeling nauseated throughout the day and Miss B who is currently 10 weeks pregnant is suffering terribly with morning sickness; going sick numerous times a day, feeling tired, nauseated and food turns her stomach (I am using fake names as both of my friends have only told their close friends and family about their pregnancy at this stage).
Both found the iced soothies very refreshing and tasty and they were intrigued by the flavours, finding them very different to standard iced soothies or lollies. Miss S particularly loved the lime and vanilla but she did not like the lemon and mint. Miss B loved the lemon and mint which she said made her feel refreshed and her energy levels felt topped up and even though the ginger didn’t initially appeal she found it very tasty and that it soothed her stomach. They have bothheard that ginger helps morning sickness and both agreed it was a refreshing, cooling way to benefit from ginger in a very unique and inventive way.

Miss S has been finding that some food and drink leaves a nasty taste in her mouth and she was pleased that these ice pops did not leave a horrible taste in her mouth; instead they were very tasty and addictive. When a wave of nausea has come over her she has found welcomed relief from sucking on one of these iced soothies.
As Miss B has been suffering with bad morning sickness and has been struggling to keep food and drink down she was very happy that these lillipops have been keeping her hydrated and it is a relief to get some fluid in her when she can’t keep much else down and everything makes her feel sick. Even though they haven’t got rid of her morning sickness using these iced pops she has seen her symptoms subside slightly and whenever she has felt sickly munching on one of the tasty iced pops has made her feel better.
