into her 8th week and feeling sick but nothing helps! Can anyone suggest anything please?
Hi Riverlands,
Congratulations on the pregnancy! Sorry to hear that sickness has continued for so long, but it isn't uncommon.
We have a few tips on our website for easing nausea during pregnancy, you may find something you havent tried yet! nct.org.uk/pregnancy/nausea...
Hope this helps.
Best,
Alice
Ginger snaps work good
Thank you for your reply Kc. They sound a much better option than other more sugary biscuits.
If she is being sick a lot then check out this website pregnancysicknesssupport.or...
I had a condition called hyperemesis graviardum and needed sickness meds
Thank you Hatting. Looks like they have some reassuring help and hope it's not as severe as HG.
Hi there congrats !! 
I can tell you I am the exact same morning noon and night feeling sick and seem to eat more to try make it go away ... The only thing that has seemed to ease it with me is eating breakfast first thing in the morning and sucking boiled sweets throughout the day ... Also only eating thing iv really thought about but dry ie crisp sandwich rice cakes crackers I do hope iv helped a little but at least you know your not on your own also I'm like 11 week now so I'm hoping when people say it goes at 12 week a pray to god that true ha ...

Hi Caela, Thank you! and thank you for your helpful suggestions. She is tending towards dry food and boiled sweet might help, I remember they helped me with nausea in cars as a child. Best wishes and hope your nausea eases soon.
I am normally getting bad evening sickness, which comes right at the lets-cook-dinner-time, so I feel horibble. yesterday I just pressed a very tiny piece of raw ginger in my teeth and hey! it worked !! I was feeling much nicer with that really really tiny ginger on my tounge.
Hi Ritz, Brilliant tip! I have plenty of fresh ginger and will see if she is up for some now! Thanks again and hope your nausea eases soon.
I was finding that eating small amounts regularly was the best way to not feel sick - even when I didn't really want food, making sure I didn't have an empty stomach helped a lot. Also, in the mornings it definitely helped to not rush - I would drink tea and eat toast in bed, before moving about too much, and just get ready really slowly. The only times I didn't do that, I was sick! Sweet stuff was not helpful for me - just seemed to make things worse, but probably varies a lot depending on individual. Also, when I couldn't face tea, hot water with fresh lemon and ginger was great. Good luck to you both
Hi Sara, Thank you for taking the time to respond with such considered feedback. To hear that rushing makes you feel worse will help her. Best wishes.
I had awful nausea until 17 weeks. I tried ginger (tea, biscuits, raw etc), peppermint tea, seasickness bands, all the usual things. The only way I felt any better was to eat extra strong mints! I think it was a mixture of the sugar and the strong mint flavour taking away the grotty taste in my mouth. Also eating constantly helped, especially melon for some reason!
Hope she feels better soon, it really is just hideous!
Just to add, getting hungry made it much worse. I still feel sick/heave now if I get hungry and that is at 36 weeks!
