Morning sickness

Has anyone pleaseeeeeeeeee got any cures or tips on coping with morning
sickness. I feel sick all day, everyday but I am only actually sick once or
twice every other day or so. I can't pin point any real triggers at the
moment but I feel soooooooo awful.
I didn't really have any MS with my other 3 kids so dont really know how
best to deal with it. I have also gone off most food and after only having
a few fork fulls or so I have to stop eating as I feel sick.
Any advice??

Thanks

Poor you, it's grim isn't it.

Things that helped me whe

Nibbling a dry cracker, digestive biscuit or ginger biscuit first thing
in the morning and throughout the day.

Keeping hydrated with lots of water

Coca Cola and herbal tea.

Small meals and often

No greasy or heavy food. It was summer so lots of fruit and salads, but
for winter steamed veggie are good.

Milk in my cereal was also dodgy so replaced with toast.

Avoiding anything heavily scented or smelly.

14 weeks - it tailed off till almost non-existent, so fingers crossed
for you.

If you google on this group there are loads of other tips people have
posted previously which may be helpful..

Try to eat small frequent meals only keeping a bit in the stomach. This
worked for me for my DD. For my son well I had stressed induced morning
sickness til I was 5 1/2 months. So even after trying everything my doctor
put me on phenergan which didn't do much either and finally zofran which did
a little.

Yikes. You definitely have my sympathies!!!
I had HORRID MS with my boys, absolutely none with my girls (with DD and
this pregnancy)
With the boys, it was so bad and I'd explain it best as you already did.
Have you tried crackers?
I had a sleeve of those regular soup crackers (salted tops or something
they're called) stashed on my night table - I had some before even moving
out of bed, as well as some before bed) I also carried some with me at all
times. I find they worked great to get something easy and something that's
kind of considered to be food in my stomach. I had those first thing in the
morning and last thing before bed. During the day, I kept Arrowroot cookies
handy. Once again, I found them easy to handle and digest. I could NOT eat
the arrowroots in the morning or before bed - that was puke city for me, but
during the day, before eating an actual meal, it helped me. (I would eat
some of the cookies about 15-30 minutes before a meal)
Nothing really seems to help much, the crackers/cookies were a lifesaver for
me!
Don't know if you've tried that already or not...?

I don't know if you have them where you live, but Altoids sours or
some other hard sour candy helped me. Also, lemonade.

I lost weight in my first trimster because of this - it's awful isn't it?
What helped me was small sips of Fruit Punch. Though, now I can't drink it
because it reminds me of feeling nauseous! I went off food too, and all I
ate that first trimester was spinach of all things! Hope you feel better
soon

Describes how I felt with both of mine. Unfortunately it didn't stop until
about 1hr after delivery either.
Basically nothing helped permanently.
Sea sick bands worked for a reasonable length. Sipping coke helped. Ginger
biscuits helped until they came back up (they burn on the way up), cream
crackers lasted a few days. When we moved house at the end of my 1st
pregnancy there were all these half packets of things I'd found helped for a
short time (usually just after I'd bought 4 packets convinced I'd finally
found something that would cure it) then couldn't touch again for rest of
the 9 months!

Hi Clair,

Peppermint flavoured chocolate really helped me during morning sickness....
as did the mustard in McDonalds Big Mac's........ I ate little during my
first trimester.... so anything was a godsend!
I stayed away from strong smells also....

Lili

I feel for you! I tried everything in the book and nothing helped until my
doctor suggested an anti nausea drug... I just cannot remember the name now.
It does not harm the baby and it allows you to go on with your life. I was
taking it before bed and in the morning... adjusting the dose to suit how
things were going. I ended up being on it for the entire time. It is
expensive but lucky for me, my company has an ok drug plan. I think its a
very common drug... sorry for the mommy brain!

That must be reallu tough with three kids to look after, I feel for
you.

Sorry no advice here in fact just reading this thread is making me
nauseous With my daughter I was so sick, nothing helped. It lasted
until week 16 or thereabouts. Some people advised always eating a
little something but I simply threw everything up. I sucked on hard
lemon candies, and ginger ale always tasted good. I also drank a lot of
milk.This time it is milder and I do have some hungry periods, thank
goodness. Ask your doctor about medication, it might really help you.
