I had vomiting, nausea, a really bad problem with the slightest smell,(which in turn would give me the other 2) up until the day Leah was born. With Joel it was until 20 weeks.

Iced chocolates and milk shakes weregreat, pies were the best thing for settling tummy, and then I went through a "I can only eat eggs" stage as well. I had to stay outside while DH cooked - through the middle of winter, wrapped up in a blanket sitting on the deck!!!

I found I would eat something (when I could eat) constantly for a couple of weeks and then my tatse would change and I would go onto something else.

I tried the seabands and think they worked but didn't dare take it off to find out!!!

Hmmmm I know this feeling well....  I vomited daily and sometimes twice daily from about 6 weeks to about 14 weeks with constant all day and night nausea in between. Great fun NOT. It didn't occur to me to go to he Dr fo anything although I kinda wish I had.

Anyway I agree with Mrs mojo- grab whatever takes your fancy because this stage won't last long (hopefully) and your body knows what it needs. You have 2 more trimesters to stock up on healthy stuff, at this stage it's more important to get nutrients- any nutrients- into your body......even if they come from less than healthy sources!

Fiona, your body knows what it needs and what it needs right now is a lot of energy.  You're building a little human atm, within the next 6 weeks all the essentials will be formed and that takes a lot out of your body.  The best thing to replace the lost energy with is a nice slow releasing energy food - i.e. carbs!

Now... go and mash up some potatos and have them in a sandwich women or I'll come up there and force you too
