Aw your poor friend. Firstly lots and lots of sympathy - she will need it!
There isn't a huge amount you can do about bad morning sickness. YOu just have to kind of get through it somehow (I had it and still getting it occasionally at nearly 24 weeks but that's unusual ;o( ). My advice is to eat plenty of snacks. Mine was much, much worse if I let my stomach get too empty. Keeping something plain and dry like cream crackers on the bedside table helps. Try to drink plenty of water even if that's difficult. I found hot milk at night was also soothing. Eat plain, comforting food. Mashed potato and chicken were my friends during the worst of it. Avoid strongly flavoured foods e.g. anything really garlicy. Get plenty of rest and sleep. Take it easy and remember that it's all in a good cause and is a sign that her hormones are working well to help her baby grow well. It's crap. I really feel for her but eventually it will go away completely as it does for most people or at least it will ease and become manageable. And when she feels normal again she will appreciate it all the more! *)

friend of mine found polo mints good.

me I found if I ate something dry straight away when I got up like cereal (no milk) or crackers that really helped, and for some reason a small glass of fizzy drink. made me burp without getting sick.

I had terrible nausea for 11 weeks, couldn't eat a thing, went off everything and lived on rich tea and ginger nuts. I tried everything nothing worked. I found staying in bed and resting when I could the only comfort. I feel her pain. Hope it eases soon. it disappeared for me around 16-17 weeks. :hic

HI BlueP,
I found the seabands definitely helped though couldn't take them off! Recommend getting two pairs so you can wash them/wear one pair in the shower and leave to dry.
Next time will definitely try homeopathy as finding it great for others things.
Other than that I think its been mentioned - lots of rest, regular small snacks, eat what you can/want at the time, suggest having cupboards full of what you need e.g. cereal, ginger biscuits, crackers, popcorn & bananas were my favs.
Hope she feels better soon

I got sick several times a day from week 6 - 20, nothing actually made the sickness stop but I found I could tolerate things I craved more than other foods.
My advice for her is eat what you can tolerate, and don't try to force any food on yourself.

I browse this forum but never usually post........ however I feel your friends pain as I too suffered terribly on my first (not as much this time around) and HAD to post. First time around I was bed bound for almost 2 months, and tried:
- ginger (in all forms)
- bland foods like plain rice, chicken, spuds
- sea bands
- eating before getting out of bed
- sipping water/7-up/coke
- sucking glucose sweets
- eating little and often
- steering clear of strongly flavoured foods (I love garlic and coffee and the smell of both made me gag so badly!
- eating rich tea/crackers in the middle of the night

and nothing worked. You name it I tried it and spent most of my days lying in bed wishing away the day. I lost weight, looked dreadful, cried most days, but never got bad enough to go into hospital (can only imagine how dreadful you need to be to get hospitalised!). I found that when I did want/was able to eat I craved things like supermacs! A lot of ice-cream was also eaten...... It eased so gradually that I can't pinpoint when but I was feeling human(ish) and back to work around 18 weeks. I found that people who didn't suffer badly didnt really understand, and would be recommending silly things like "get out for a walk and you might feel better". Hate to say it but I don't think anything would have eased it for me and sometimes if its really bad then you just have to wait for it to ease.

This time around (due in 5 weeks) I was so excited about being pregnant but terrified of the nausea again. And while I did get it, it was not as bad and I managed to get into work. The thing that saved me was mint sweets from a health food shop - they're RICOLA menthol tiny hard sweets. I get the train into work and I would suck on one the whole journey. Now, I still felt ill, but with them I knew I would'nt get sick. I must have gone through 50 bags of them! Every so often they were on buy one get one free and I'd stock up - they staff would look at me like I was mad buying 20 bags!

Sorry for turning this post into a "me" post - hope your friend gets some relief over the next few weeks, and best of luck with the pregnancies!

Oh yeah brigante - sucky sweets for journeys are handy. I used to suck Maynards sours on the bus to and from work just so I could make it home without puking.
I also wanted to kick people who suggested fresh air and exercise when all you could do was lie on the couch weeping softly and waiting for the day to be over. :o(
