What dinners did you eat when you had morning sickness?

Urgh I definitely do not remember my ms being this bad with my other pregnancies. I have constant nausea that starts off tolerable but gets progressively worse throughout the day into the evening. I've tried eating little and often but it's not helping. I've grown an aversion to almost every food known to man except baked potatoes and supernoodles 🙈

And the worst part is that my husband is unable to cook (though he will try but needs a lot of instruction) and rarely gets home from work early enough to cook for the kids anyway.

I'm only 8 weeks FFS! Even the mere thought of cooking for other people sets me off. What can I cook that won't make me heave? and that there's a slight possibility that I may actually want to eat

Definitely jacket potatoes

Salt and vinegar hula hoops, orange lucozade (before it was shit) and coke. Started to eat better after 17 weeks, actual vegetables by that stage.

Anything you can keep down is better than nothing.

Crumpets and smoothies, for weeks on end!

Really watery stuff works - melon, cucumber. Followed by starch.

Big Mac meal was the only thing I could stomach for weeks. Anything else just the smell of I was sick at.

Buttered toast. Chow main noodles. (Although dp got me a takeaway and I threw it up. He was horrified I wasted it). Sipping on coke.
Potato.

This thread is bringing back awful memories of 24/7 nausea Grin And I consider myself to have been mildly affected compared with some! Thank goodness I’m done having babies. The first 3-4 months are SO grim.

Nothing much. Ginger nut biscuits. Strawberries. Oranges. Celery. Pregnancy for me was always an amazing diet; first pregnancy I lost three stone from beginning to labour.

GrannyClanger · 30/05/2019 21:50

Satsumas, and marmite on toast. DH cooked for me one night and I couldn’t face eating it so I cried! I’m 10+3 and feeling much less nausea now. Cream crackers and crisps too. Still eating tons on Pom bears!

Otterses · 30/05/2019 21:51

Blueberries, mango and dry tortilla chips Grin

TheGrapefulDread · 30/05/2019 21:57

Ikea ginger thins, Ritz crackers and Bovril crisps. Ginger Ale to drink.

whatareyoudoingneil · 30/05/2019 21:58

I'd go with salt and vinegar crisps and sprite

Clusterfukt · 30/05/2019 22:00

Carbs are your friend unless it’s HG there is no friend for HG 🤮

Beige carbs. Baked potatoes with cheese were probably the most reliable dinner, then chips with gravy, pasta in various forms, Nigella's marmite noodles... One dinner that particularly stands out in my memory was veggie lasagne with salt and vinegar chips dipped in.

I couldn't eat anything green at all, just the thought of it made me feel sick. I was pretty certain salad would kill me 🤮 Oh and definitely worst weeks 7-9, though I felt sick until about 20 weeks.

Frightenedbunny · 30/05/2019 22:09

Anything crap!!! McDonald’s cheese burgers and mc flurries!! Husband made me a roast with lots of veggies as he was distraught at the rubbish I was eating. I could only eat it when it was covered in ketchup!!!
