Morning Sickness

Lillipops Iced Soothies are naturally flavoured freezies developed in the United Kingdom for women with morning sickness. They are available in 5 different flavours: grapefruit and tangerine, lemon and mint, chamomile and orange, lime and vanilla, and ginger. The flavours are derived from steam distillation of the peels (grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, orange, lime), mint leaves, and chamomile flowers to release and collect their essential oils. Vanilla pods and ginger are macerated and their resin is used. These flavours were chosen because they may provide relief of symptoms as they are either traditional remedies for NVP, such as ginger, or soothing and refreshing flavours, such as chamomile, vanilla and citrus.

Four parallel groups: 1) Lillipops Group (4 flavours): 2) Ginger Lillipops Group; 3) Mr. Freeze Control Group; 4) Natural Course Group. The main comparison is Group 1 vs Group 3.

A computerized randomization table will be prepared by a third party who is not otherwise involved in the study. After a participant has given consent to enrol in the study, the next participant number in sequence will be assigned and the appropriate corresponding sealed envelope will be opened by the study coordinator, determining which product (if any) the participant will receive. The boxes will be given unique codes depending on whether they contain Lillipops (4 flavours), Ginger Lillipops or Mr. Freeze freezies, and the different flavours will also be coded. Participants will be shown a list of the ingredients that are found in Lillipops and Mr. Freeze freezies to ensure that they do not have allergies or take medications that interact with any ingredient(s) that they may be asked to consume.
