I don't know what to tell you I havn't had it yet but I did with both of my other
ones and I know how you feel. There was never anything I could do except throw
up so I wouldn't be so naseous for a while. I am sorry you are getting sick but
just remeber it will all be worth is as soon as you see that baby.

I have been having it too the past few days and my sister told me to get ginger snaps - she had terrible MS with all of her babies. So I did and it helps! Ginger ale would work too - there are also MS suckers I have seen. Hope you feel better soon~!

I had HG with Lauren and lost ~40 pounds throughout my pregnancy so I know allllllll about remedies. Here are common ones:

- crackers
- eat something before your feet hit the floor in the morning
- ginger (tea, candy, snaps, etc).
- vitamin B6
- vitamin B6 + Unisom
- motion sickness bands (ex. Seabands)
- eat LOTS of protein - shoot for 75 g a day
- clear carbonated beverages
- preggie pops
- chamomille (sp?) tea
- eat frequent, small meals
- eat before you get hungry
- get lots of rest
- avoid fatty foods

That's what I can think of now. I'll add more if I think of them. You can also get prescription medication to help control it. I was on Phenegren and then Zofran with Lauren. Neither helped me, but those 2 meds help the vast majority of people.

Oh mama, I hope it get's better soon!! With my girls I was pukey sick at about 6 weeks on. This time around I haven't gotten NEARLY the same m/s, which is nice, but worries me too. I did decide that if I get that sick this time, I will go on medication, I do daycare, so I can't be too sick.

I'm so sorry you feel so bad mama. At least you know things are going along in there. I get waves of heavy to extreme nausea accompanied by hot flashes. Sometimes I wish I would just go on and throw up so as not to be constantly on the verge.

Licorice hard candies and ice cold ginger beer (much more potent than ginger ale) always helped me last time. I'll be buying them again shortly.
