Spontaneuos Morning Sickness Anyone?

[Enthusia]

Hi - have been having bouts of sickness that come without any warning. They come at times I don't feel sick and I have no time to rush anywhere - I imagine this could get very embarrasing when I return to work on Monday. When I do feel sick - I rarely am, and when I don't I am, very weird. BTW first pg and just completed 9 weeks. Oh and very stinky carpet now

Bicarb of Soda and sympathies to you.

Bicarb for stinky carpet BTW.

How do I use the bicarb - do i just sprinkle it on and vacuum or, dilute it or what? Not heard of this one. Thanks by the way!!!

Ginger helps stop the nausea, keep a packet of crystallised ginger in your pocket and pop it in for the nausea

as for the vomiting - maybe take a barf bag with you?

Twiglett- good idea about the barf bag - unfortunately, being a teacher, I can see my class of 8 year olds either thinking it is hilarious - or joining in in sympathy! Have tried various ginger options but not crystalised, will give that a go. Thanks

Why don't you try acupuncture? I had hyperemesis (continuos vomiting) and that was pretty much the only thing that kept me going. You might be able to be refered by your midwife, or alternatively go private. IIRC it costs about £30 session- money well spent in my opinion if it means you can have a normalish life.

Don't forget about eating something every feww hours- low blood sugar can make the sicknesss worse.

HTH

I think you sprinkle it on, give it a bit to absorb and then vacuum up.
