sick sick sick

u poor thing! have you tried wearing the travel sickness wrist bands? i used them until i was about 13wks and they worked well. i stil felt a little queasy (sp?) but nowhere near as bad.
also gingernut biscuits (griffins only )

hang in there i'm sure you'll feel better soon, the time really flys by

I swore by macs ginger beer and lemonade iceblocks, and as above, walking in fresh air, in thru nose out thru mouth. I also felt better if i battled down something starchy (Dr reccomended that) like toast in morning, washed down with a berrocca, and tried to have something in tummy at all times - feels worse when you're hungry!
No tips for gas, sorry, i just took full advantage and let rip (sorry, TMI, I know!) grossing hubby out!!

taking advantage of filling up could be the prob too - sometimes it's batter to just snack out through the day and keep your tummy a little full instead of having big meals - sometimes you can get low in energy and blood sugar levels can drop which can make you feel queasy too - so like someone else said - carbs are good cos they give you lots of energy to run off for a while.

like everyones said lemonade ice blocks, or make up raro in a sipper bottle, half strength, and freeze it and take that with you, it's always nice and cold and it's melts slow enough to stop you from being able to guzzle it and make your tummy so full you feel ick. (the nicest juices i found for doing this were the vitafresh ones in melon or strawberry...mmmm yummmy!)

I found flat ginger ale was good, and also yoghert worked for me to settle my stomach.

Like Janine said, snacking and small meals often seems to be better than one or two bigger meals.

I had it the worst through december last year, coupled with working in stinking hot weather and it being the craziest time of the year... last christmas was not fun for me! It's all good, though, when it goes away, then you have the next thing to look forward to, which is feeling them move, its awesome! Feels alot like bubbles in your tummy at first, or being tickled. Now when my timmy rumbles, i kid myself thats a bay moving inside cos that what it feels like! Yay!

Ohh, lucky you! Towrd the end of my pregnancy, jake used to love sticking his feet under my ribs, especailly when I sat down for too long. He also used to like punching me down near my bladder/lower pelvis just for fun!

Lemonade iceblocks did it for me. And the gingernuts, like everyone else has said. And I found that chewing gum (Extra sugarfree) helped with the metallic taste in my mouth that made me feel queasy too.

Thanks for all the advice everyone, so far I can say that ginger ale, gingernuts, rice crackers, and apple juice have been my savior !

I was away until today on a trip to Hamilton with my work training stuff, and it really was a challenge. We were supposed to be eating at the hotels in house restaurant if we wanted work to pick up the tab, but the food was AWFUL and the poor service didn't help.

I tried just to 'snack' as much as possible, but sometimes my appetite was completely non existant. The long days weren't that great either, as I wasn't able to nap at all, the sickness got worse when I was really tired.

Defintely staying aware of my limits and stuff though, if I'm full I won't go on and gorge myself or anything, but as far as what I feel hungry *for* I usually just go for it. Haven't had any bizarre cravings yet, but have been really keen on eggs, and spaghetti bolognaise !

If it gets too too bad I will get in touch with my doctor, as I was reading about hyperemesis gravidarum the other day. Being in hospital would be bad
