Congratulations, and sorry about the morning sickness. I didn’t get it much, so I have no helpful tips. Everything passes though, even though, at the time it seems to be lasting forever. With regard to cravings though… they come in unexpected forms. I NEVER had a sweet tooth, until pregnancy. And now 6 months later, I still have it (unfortunately). But I’m becoming a pretty good baker because of it! I can’t resist a sweet recipe. I guess there are worse things. ha, ha.

Congrats! This is my first time checking out your blog. I am due in January and have also been absent from the kitchen due to relentless nausea – there really is nothing like it! I just started a new Rx – Zofran. It is a MIRACLE drug! I tried Fenigran (sp?) but had no luck. I would get on Zofran ASAP if you can. I’m happy to report I’m back in the kitchen and loving it! Best of luck and congrats again!

Potatoes! 2008 was officially the Year of the Potato… and boy was I glad. There are no rules, just follow your stomach… I had to eat 6 dry crackers before moving in the morning (thanks to husband bringing them before he went to work) and then two pieces of dry toast by 9am and then a baked potato with a little butter and salt by 12pm or I would be ill… for four months! But then I could eat fairly normally for the rest of the day, and by the second trimester I was back on most things. But raw veges, alcohol and coffee only went back on the menu once the babe was here. Good luck, my thoughts are with you!!

I feel your joy and I feel your nausea, too! During my first pregnancy, I was nauseous much of the first six months, but turned a corner and suddenly felt like a million bucks, so hang in there!
I never had that problem with the next three babies, but I had learned a thing or two by then, like eating buttered toast as soon as I got up. I’d turn the kettle on for Swiss Miss instant cocoa and the bread went into the toaster before I peed, even! But I got that stuff into my stomach quickly, and never had any trouble with nausea!
There are so many tips for morning sickness, and you’ll hear them all–good luck and I hope you hit on something very soon that works for you!
