Ice cream wouldn't go amiss.. :) Thks for the tips

I'm 8+3 and have nausea since week 5. Nothing really works for me, I just try to eat small meals more often.
Oh, and when it's really bad ice-cream helps! :D

Thank U ladies!!

Forget to mention - i found coconut water helps too..in UK we get in a box like fresh juice - but fresh is even better

Vita Coco 100% pure coconut water

Try sparkling water to cut down on all the sugar of ginger ale. I was gaining weight and feeling sluggish eating pizza (for the dough) and drinking ginger ale so much. Also, lemonade (fresh is better, again because of the sugar) and saltines. Don't go too long between meals, don't eat too much at one time. I developed a sensitivity to dairy and then to tomato sauce after the first trimester, so pizza was out for the second, but now I can eat it again. Just pay attention to what aggravates the nausea (the most) and try to avoid. Good luck!

Carenda, I will certainly try the lemon..

And thank you everybody else for sharing ur tips :) reminds me that I am not alone :)

katie :))) I really like ur positive attitude - u r right - as it is the brain that signals the nausea and vomiting - and that is why anti-emetics such as Zorfan work - as they block those barin signals - I am really trying that +ve thinking approach..thks!

Crackers... sprite or gingerale (which helps you burp a little which I think makes you feel better for a bit!)and just talk yourself through it! I kept telling myself, it will get better, I can get through it. It's not going to last forever, just for what seems like eternity! I was sick from week 6-10 - like really sick, and then miraculously it went away!

have you tried preggie pops?they sell them at toys r us and motherhood. Also eat frequently- lots of carbs always helped me. I pretty much live on crackers and grilled cheese the first trimester.
