I am really struggling...I have all day sickness that only seems to ease a little when I am lying down and have slept
I'm trying everything - little and often eating, sea bands, ginger biscuits, keeping fluids up etc but I think its just a case of riding it out until the 12 weeek mark (was the same when pg with DS)
Thing is though, homelife is suffering. Normally I'm at work, whizzing to the shop during my lunch hour to stock up on anything that has run out, I do all the cooking (DH can't cook) etc but obviously this is not happening, although I have tried to make a few meals - did spag bol on Sunday that lasted us two nights.
However, last night we had to have take out pizza as by the time DH came in, I would have been too hungry and starting to gag before he got anything ready to eat. I was crying as felt guilty for giving DS take out and am having to put him in nursery for an extra day each week (so he does 4 days not 3) just so I can rest up
No family nearby to help and no other RL support so its just down to us really, and its pretty miserable
