hi daz

sorry to here about your wifes morning sickness....i have had five kids and have never suffered..i think i have been lucky. I used to feel sick and the only way to help that was to eat bread or toast..or just food in general. When i was pregnant i would eat like a horse

hopefully the sickness will pass in a few weeks. How many weeks pregnant is she?

Root ginger in boiling water ...or if she's like me and can't stand the taste of ginger I put it in hot Ribena.
My midwife suggested the ginger after I had a week of throwing up to the point they were going to admit me to hospital. It stopped everything and I kept drinking it till I had the little lovie, just in case it came back!! :-D

Good Luck to your wife I really feel for her! (f+

I didn't suffer with it for the first two, but with number 3 I felt sick all the way through, and when I had him I actually weighed a stone less than before I'd got pregnant :shock:

Ginger is supposed to be good but I didn't try it.

I wore sea-bands on my wrists. The are elastic bracelets with a little button that presses on an acupressure (?) point. Also sucking an extra strong mint helped a bit too.

Good luck, and a big hug for your wife from us (f+

When is the baby due?

Its the worst possible feeling i feel for her! :cry:

Try a squirt of jif lemon she can carry the small one around with her if needed!

It combats the acid! )t'

Worth a try !

Hi Daz, I like the suggestions of ginger tea but I just kept packets of ginger biscuits next to the bed and ate them first thing. I never had a problem with morning sickness, I just like biscuits )t'

Ginger biscuits worked for me too plus the odd bottle or two of soda water confused>

Good luck!

I had all day sickness for 7 months each time! Nothing worked. Hope you find something for her that works.

I was never actually sick but felt nauseous until about 6 months. I found eating in general helped. I ate little and often so my stomach was never totally empty. I tried to eat healthy things but invariably ended up with a doughnut!

I wonder if that was why I put on nearly 4 stone :oops:

Hope she's feeling better soon... Will all be worth it in the end :-D

There's a wonderful reward for all the sickness. :-D

hi, i found swimming was brilliant!! i used to go nearly every morning and it was just gone when i was in the pool!! my wee boy, now 14 weeks love swimming now so i guess he remembers our daily trips.
other than that ginger or fennel is also v good.
hope she feels better soon x

I combat sea sickness by eating stodge like dry toast and mashed potato but Iâ€™m not sure if thatâ€™s just an excuse to eat as Iâ€™ve never really suffered. Anyway the juice of a lemon and a couple of teaspoons of honey in hot water is quite a good pick-me-up as itâ€™s got lots of vitamins and natural sugars.

ginger in all its forms.
Also i stopped being sick when i finnished work (at 7 months) had i though about it i could have gone part time earlier and possibly it would have been better.
good luck, dispite the sickness/ indigestion i would do it all again

It must be awful if you're having to work whilst feeling c**p. Luckily(?) the day after I told my boss I was pregnant, they decided I was no longer required :cry: so I didn't work from 6 weeks onwards :-D

It also meant I had more time to eat doughnuts to help in my quest to become bigger than Pavarotti :oops:
