Morning (noon and night sickness)

It's a trial and error thing, dealing with morning sickness. Saltines worked for me, and these Japanese cookies with sesame in them. Ginger stuff didn't. If you are throwing up, try to eat a biscuit or drink a little water when you wake up in the morning. You will still throw up, but the acidity that comes up (because your stomach is empty and there's nothing else to hurl) will be diluted and it won't burn as much. I could also eat toast. Some women say miso soup helps (when I did have miso soup, I found it did a bit). My tip would be, just eat what works and dont' stress about baby nutrition right now... the nausea will get better and then you can start eating really healthy.
 
By the way, by "worked for me" I meant I was able to keep it down and feel marginally better. I still felt nauseous though. There might not be a complete cure, except time. Yeah, pregnancy is fun!
 
believe it or not, when i was pregnant my chinese doctor took me off milk and i immediately stopped feeling nauseous.

i started drinking milk again during my 3rd trimester and that felt okay...
 
Oh you poor gal...

I was so sick all day/night for nearly 5 months, and it was no fun :( I spent most of that time eating plain food like bread, oatmeal, pasta, rice etc. Nothing really helped though I still threw up a lot.

One thing that did help a little was distraction, such as funny TV shows, music etc.

Good luck! I hope it passes soon :)
