merk I was one of the lucky few who has had a pretty much symptom free time (touches wood frantically), I did suffer with nausea around weeks 8 - 10 though, I found that I felt worst when I was hungry so ate little and often to try and keep it at bay.
I survived on lots of apples, melons and strawberries, but had days when I could only really eat crisps and beige food. My big no no was rich food, I had a pasta bake one day with a rich cheese sauce and paid for that by bringing it back up an hour or so later, I suggest bland is the way forward. I'm afraid it's a bit trial and error to find what works for you though.
It might be worth trying some mint tea with honey or (if you can stomach it) some ginger tea as those really help to settle your stomach. I love mint tea with honey. Ginger biscuits are meant to be good too.
Hope you start to feel better, just remember it won't last forever, even if it feels like it is.
Thanks for the reassurance re the cut/tear scenario. Makes me feel much better. My evil ex friend yep rearing her head again spent so long moaning about her cut, saying how they spent over an hour sewing her up etc, how every toilet trip was like a blood bath etc, I know she is basically full of shit but it I thought their must be a grain of truth in it. I know she is a huge drama queen and I should ignore her but sometimes I wonder. For the record it turned out she had a small cut which required minimal stitching she just got carried away with the horror story. Her OH I don't see her anymore was telling my OH how their daughter is so much easier and how hard boys are etc etc, my OH came home a bit fretful until I mentioned that everyones second child is easier as you know what to expect and what to do. Also she is less of a diva this time so of course he kid is calmer.
Sorry, epic post ooops.
