Morning Sickness

[KIAN]

Just wondering if any of the ladies here experienced morning sickness during your pregnancy.

Our GP has said that it usually starts in the 4th week and lasts until the 16th week of pregnancy and that in some cases it can go for the entire term. My girlfriend has been really bad the past couple of days. Suprisingly it is not in the morning when she is sick. It's nearly 4 a.m and I have been sitting up with her for a couple of hours.

Do you know of anything which might help her get through this and maybe let me get some sleep [now there's a caring boyfriend]. I just want to help her if I can.

Thanks in advance everyone.

i think perhaps go see the GP again if she is vomiting severely and it isnt stopping...I dont know your background (i suspect you have one) but look for clinical signs of dehydration from her vomiting, see what her pulse is like, if her mucous membranes are hydrated, skin turgour etc to see how bad her vomiting really is...

^^great advice....I drank lemon tea and you can also but these bracelets for motion sickness that push on the pressure points and they did work!

Nothing helped with me, of course they wouldnt give you phenegran when i was pregnant 6 years ago. Now they do. Tell her to ask for it

and before she gets out of bed in the morning, tell her to eat a cracker or 2. If the nausea gets too bad, she needs to go to the dr because she will get dehydrated.
A friend of mine was so sick when she was pregnant. she couldnt keep anything down...that she started throwing up stuff in her intestines. Then they finally put her on phenegran
