God know why it is called morning sick because i have it 24/7 at the moment.

I have tried eating dried biscuits but unless i am constantly eating i feel so sick all i want to do is lie on the couch all day.

I had dreadful morning sickness and took vitamin b6 which was an absolute miracle! I stopped actually being sick and the feeling of sickness diminished enormously. I checked with my doctor before doing it. I took 50mg at first but played around with the dose to find what level suited me.

I'll have to try that mousey, it has just knocked me off my feet

ginger - tea, buscuits, pieces

sea bands around your wrists

google preggypops

eat little and often, have water too

sipping water does help but then I'm constantly weeing

i had terrible nausea and morning noon and night sickness... try the seasickness bands - they helped me survive my commute to work. and just keep eating little and often. I couldn't face anything healthy for the first 12-14 weeks and had to graze constantly to stave off the vomiting - oat cakes were quite good as a healthier alternative to biscuits. weetabix went down ok as well (if with lots of sugar).

ooooh - and lucozade sport (the orange flavoured still one) - i practically lived on that when i couldn't face food...

travel bands, dry biscuit and a sip of water before even attempting to get out of bed in the morning.

And, for some reason, fruit, in particular grapefruit and yoghurt. I ate a significant amount of fruit and yoghurt throughout my pg, but weirdly, it had to be cut up and made into a fruit salad, then mixed with the yoghurt and eaten a bit at a time

melon was about the only thing I could eat for the first couple of months

going into food shops was hell
I could smell EVERYTHING even the tinnned stuff lol

eat.
eat.
eat.
and then eat a bit more.
from the minute you get a blue line until about 23 weeks.
then buy gaviscon.

Def keep nibbling and fizzy drinks help me burp it better!

DP had to make dinner today because the smell of cooking made me retch.

Thanks for all the tips

I eventually realised that drinking water was making me much worse and often precipitated puking. Switching to fizzy drinks, mostly fizzy water, really really took the edge off the nausea and I wasn't sick again at all afterwards.
You never know, it might help you too.

Sounds daft, but I found keeping busy helped. If I rested I felt dreadful and was sick as soon as I stood up, but I was much less likely to be sick if I kept active.

Also, eat constantly-don't ever get hungry

What worked for me was Foxes glacier mints - I had to have a supply with me at all times and I found sucking one of those when the nausea got really bad took the edge of it. Of course I can't look at one now

memoo · 09/02/2009 19:10

I got a packet of foxes on the way home from work tonight and it works!!! and so does drinking fizzy pop

I found wine pastilles great last time but have looked everywhere and can't find them so am now alternating between wine gums and fruit pastilles...strange that I don't usually eat sweets. I know that ginger is supposed to be good but I can't stand it except in ginger beer. Sainsbury's own has sugar instead of aspartame so we've stocked up on that

Scratch a little bit of the skin of a lemon under your fingernails - sniff whenever the nausea swells.

Put slices of lemon in your glass of water.

And eat! Avocados I found didn;t repulse me and they are healthy so you feel less guilty when you follow them up with a doughnut
