Morning Sickness

Just wondered if anyone had any tips to help with morning sickness, well morning, noon and night sickness actually! They have tried Ginger biscuits, plain biscuits, dry toast and travel bands but all to no avail.

They are only 6 and a bit weeks pregnant and have been to the GP who just said try lemon! Would be grateful for any tips, thank you.

I was told to eat nothing for about an hour after getting up but drink lots of water and then try toast or plain biscuits.

There is a risk that she might become dehydrated so she needs to keep drinking water even if it comes back straight away. If she can keep fluids down then maybe Complan or something similar would help until the sickness passes.

Hi Lois, I would have thought lemon would make it worse as very acidic. I had awful morning sickness, well, as you say, all day long sickness. I struggled to eat anything and couldnt bear the smell of food. But it did pass eventually.
