tiaxx31 when i suffered from all day sickness back in first trimester I used to snack on anything with ginger in it, ginger root biscuits drank ginger beer etc. even now when I feel sick (30 weeks and still have occasional sicknedd) the first thing reach for is ginger. Can't say it helped a great deal but it did help me at times x

Have you tried sea sickness wrist bands? They can take the edge off the sickness.

Frozen rasperries helped me through two bad lots of MS.

Fresh lemons just keep one in fridge and smell it when you feel dosgy.

Hope you feel better soon tis pants .

I was hospitalised due to morning sickness with my 2nd pregnancy. In the end the only thing that helped slightly was making sure I ate regularly.

I kept a packet of digestive biscuits by the bed and if I woke in the night would try and eat one. Eating a bowl of cornflakes before I got out of bed helped a bit too.

I found anything with any strong flavour made me wretch, so stuck to really boring food, digestives, toast, cereal, eating little and often. Figured eating such an unbalanced diet was better than keeping nothing down at all!

And remember, it doesn't last forever, with my first felt better dot on 12 weeks, with 2nd 14 weeks, then I stuffed my face! Hope you feel better soon, you have my sympathy!

Same problem this pg (7 weeks at the moment) and it's all day, urghhh. Although it is a LOT worse if I don't force down breakfast .

I'm living on water melon, buttered toast and lucozade. The water melon is great as it feels like you're having a drink at the same time .

Good luck

I had horrible nausea for the first 18 weeks of this pregnancy (now 37+3) and puked every few days until 25 weeks (nice).

The constant nausea was worse than the actual puking and the things that got me through the first 18 weeks were: seasickness bands, barley sugar sweets to suck when out and about, weetabix with milkd and sugar, salt and vinegar crisps, cheese sandwiches and the most important one - lucozade sport (the orange flavoured still one) - I drank LOADS of it.

I'm usually a complete healthfood addict so this is not indicative of my usual diet at all, but I couldn't look a vegetable in the eye until about 16 weeks.

Really hope some of these work for you... you have my sympathy its definitely the worst bit but it does get better

Tiaxx, so sorry, I suffered through that for 17 long weeks and thought it was never going to end. I just ate what I could when I could and got over worrying about it. If all I could stomach was a pieceof bread or a packet of corn crisps, then so be it. 2 weeks ago, it suddenly all passed and I've been eating like a horse since and regained the weight that I had lost.
I didn't really find any solutions at the time, tried a lot of things, but eventually it did pass. My sympathy though, it really is awful.
