   Hi all,
 I am 18 weeks pregnant and i still suffer from a bit of morning sickness, i know this is normal and all but any tips for helping it?  It is only first thing in the morning, I wake up go to put my toast on and open the curtains and between then and my toast popping i get sick.  It is not every morning but it is 95% of the time at the same stage of my morning.
 Afterwards i am fine, i can go and eat my breakfast and start my day.  
 It is only flem that comes up so of course hurts like hell     |

   Just having something to nibble on beside your bed helps...and stay lying down for a little while once you've eaten...

   I use to have a muffin beside my bed so as soon as I woke up I ate that...not very healthly but it did the trick!

   I had arrowroot biscuits next to the bed and just had one before I got up.  Puts a lining in your stomach and hopefully will tide you over until you can make your toast.  Good luck!!

   A bit of lemonade by the bed to have before you get up might help... it's magic to have in your stomach for when/if you do drive the porcelean bus suddenly - takes away the yukky vomit taste.

   I wish I had a magic fix for you (and me!) but I don't, just wanted to let you know that you are definitely not alone - I too wake up each morning knowing that I am going to end up head first down the toilet    |

   Does anyone have any suggestion on what to eat if feeling a bit ill during the day?  I haven't had much morning sickness but occassionally feel a bit queasy as I do today and even after having some ginger pills hasn't made me feel any better.

   I snack all day... I can't eat as much at each meal as I could pre-pregnancy (or as much as I was at first!) so I eat small amounts during the day.
 I find crackers really good, with cheese or tomato... half an apple or orange... a glass of orange juice... a milkshake... a piece of bread or toast with avocado on it... that sort of thing.

   I'm still suffering most days with horrendous nausea and vomiting - It's been really bad again over the last couple of weeks - so much so that I actually lost 1/2 a kilo between midwife appointments.  I tell you the only thing that I found any good - watered down apple juice made into ice cubes.  Either suck on them, or add them to a glass of water.  I feel for you.  It's very hard    |
