You shouldn't go for too long without eating as this is when you will feel sick so carry a snack with you at all times. Have some dry biscuits or bread by the bed to have before you get up and move around. lots of small meals, a large one can be disastrous! Apparently ginger combats nausea so ginger tea and ginger biscuits are supposed to help, although they didn't work for me. Good luck, the first trimester is the worst, you will feel fine when its over.

I've heard that Sea Bands help some women, but I was already past the morning sickness when I found out about them. I think they were originally made for people who get motion sickness and they just push on the pressure points on your wrists. Check your local drug store. It's at least worth a try. Other than that, just try to drink lots of water to keep from getting dehydrated. If you can't drink much water, then maybe some watered down Gatorade or fruit juice. Hope you feel better soon.
Also, Claussen Bread and Butter pickles were about the only thing that didn't make me want to throw up. I bought several jars at a time and would just grab a jar and sit in front of the tv with it.

God how I sympathise with you! When I was pregnant I found eating plain dry biscuits first thing in the morning was the one of the few things that made any difference for me. And I was one of the unlucky women that had morning, noon, night and middle of the night sickness! But very small, light regular meals throughout the day did help a lot. Make sure you also get lots of rest and keep taking your vitamin supplements, if you are really sick these should help keep you as healthy as possible.
Good luck honey.

Like everyone else, I agree that you can't let yourself get hungry as that is when you get sick! So, the suggestion of carrying crackers with you all the time is a good one. Also, my cousin is pregnant with her fifth child and suffers from morning sickness - she was given some sea-sickness bands (they go on your wrists) and has said they are definitely helping. I wish I knew about these when I was pregnant!

If it's really bad once you get out of bed, stay in bed and have a few soda crackers before you get up. Ginger ale is your best friend. Avoid strong smells - the smell of coffee drove me crazy!
