I've been feeling queasy on and off the past week, but today was near constant nausea. It's been a real struggle to make myself nibble on what little food seems palatable. This is not helped by being backed up by hunger pangs and a persistent low-level blood sugar headache.

I really hope that as I seem to be following the norm for when morning sickness starts, I also follow the norm for when it ends. I would really hate to deal with the nearly 9 months or morning sickness that my mom dealt with when she was pregnant with my sister.

On the upswing, reading around seems to show that women who do not suffer from morning sickness are more likely to miscarry, so yay me? (On the other hand, I'd really like to be able to eat what I'm supposed to be eating, thankyouverymuch.)

And looking at the 'nauseated' icon makes my stomach lurch, so let's not do that, hmmm?

Mint, ginger, Those two are good for upset tummies. There's a couple of others, but I'll have to dig the books out of wherever I've packed 'em...

*sympathy* Yes, ginger is great. Everyone has different things that work for them; lemon was great for me, also lavender sachets, the scent was soothing and calmed the queasy. Oh! And I still have half a bottle of the essential oil for pregnancy that I got when I was pregnant with Galen; it was wonderful! E-mail me your snail mail addy and I'll send it to you. foxfireglow at g mail

*Sympathy* When I was pregnant I was sick the WHOLE pregnancy. I even threw up during delivery. They had to put me on anti-nausea meds and I had to take them every day, 3 times a day, like clockwork, or I'd be sick as a dog. Nothing herbal or over the counter helped.

Also why do they call it morning sickness? Mine was all day. Oh and let me warn you about the worst part of it. Sometime, it just jumps up without warning. You're not feeling nauseous, everything's fine, you're in mid-sentence, and OOP, you've got to barf, RIGHT NOW! And then you run.

Someone suggested that I put a few saltine crackers and some water on the bedside table at night, and then as soon as I woke but before I got out of bed to nibble on them. I tried it and it often helped to stabilize things for a while afterward.
