Hi Tattie Aren't you sweetie ?,thank you for all these handy advices,they all sounds to work! I'm 17 weeks,I work only mornings but when I got home,after lunch,I need to sleep.Sometimes I wake up full of energy but sometimes I can't even get off my bed and even my blood pressure goes either up or down,I feel very weak and have a big pressure behind my neck! Very concerned about it,talked to my OB ,we should keep an eye on it! xx

I had it too (until the end) but agree that at least when you are at work you are sort of distracted from it (not really!) - some things that helped me: - travel sickness bands from pharmacy - eating constantly (ha) - salty things, lemony things - carrying half a lemon round with you to sniff when you think you are about to be sick - fizzy drinks - guava juice - things with vitamin b (almonds) - ginger snap biscuits, ginger ale, ginger beer, fresh ginger, powdered ginger - drinking loads of water when you wake up so you have something to be sick with :( It's much better after 12 weeks when at least you can tell your colleagues why you have been so green and running to the toilet every half hour lol. hope you feel better soon :(

Hi dahin21! I had morning sickness on and off till the end of my second trimester and found that I felt better when I went to work compared to days I was off at home. I hope that will be the case for u too :) best of luck and what worked for me was not to have dairy products in the mornings. Just some dry toast or crackers Thank you ppg for the hope you gave me (yes that desperate :) ),but telling me that it can last 'til the second trim Awwwww! still did't try the crackers,i will so i can finally enjoy my pregnancy.xx

I do admire a woman who works while they are pregnant. I'm a stay at home mum and i found that difficult at times (Bordem mostly)... However when ever i felt like i was going to be sick i ate ginger nut biscuits....they totally got rid of the feeling and i never threw up once....Not until i opened up a tin of tomatoes :( I feel for you Mrs DB,staying at home is as challenging as going to work,i've been there! But if you have other children ,they certainly gonna keep you busy! Thanks for the ginger biscuits tip,gonna try it,as well as i tried carrots,cheese,cornflakes...:).

I'm almost 16 weeks and still have not "Morning sickness"....don't know why they still call it like this!!! I would say the " whole day sickness"!!...i can't wait when it'll go away so i can feel like a human being again and enjoy my pregnancy. I'm just hopping that getting back to work will help me get through it but at the same time i'm afraid that it's just gonna make things worse! Kelly you just scared me telling that you had this sickness 'till the 20th week,aw!thanks for feeling for ma though :).
