I'm around 8 weeks pregnant with my 2nd child now. My elder boy is 14 months now. I have very bad morning sick now and can't stand all smells. Food, Tobaco even detergents. Got problem cooking for my 14 mths boy. He is now eating cereals and packed food from hawkers. I know it is not healthy, can anyone advise please.

ok sweety the only thing you can do is make sure he eats. what he eats is fine for right now. buy him some yougurt and some fruit for him to eat. milk and cereal. peanut butter and toast any of those things will be fine for him and you don't really have to smell. also if you don't think that he is getting enough of what he needs try giving him pediasure. its a milk vitamin drink that is really good for him. also try drinking ginger ale and eating saltine crackers. get up slowly and take small breaths. good luck.

he will be okay if he eats that stuff till your morning sickness goes away. Kids are amazing they can go 2 strait weeks eating only pb&J sandwich and they stay healthy. Just as long as he is eating he will be okay. As far as you go. Try wearing a mask or look for a smell you can stand to cover the other smells. Good luck

Your in for the long haul hunny, I am now five years + past my pregnancy and I still can not stand the smell/taste of tuna (though I eat other fish and sushi all the time tuna is just nasty to me)
It took me four years just to be able to stand the smell of cooking and eating eggs and hotdogs as well.
For me I would say you mostly just have to wait it out, I never found a thing to help with the sickness. Except take them out of my house.

Oh honey - I feel for you - I was the same way. The only remedy I can suggest is boil a pot of peppermint tea and burn peppermint oil to fill your home with that smell to help mask other oders. Secondly, go to a drug store and in the first aid (hospital supply stuff) aisle, get a box of face masks and wear them. That helped me a lot. OH! You can also put a little vicks vapor rub, or your favorite scented chapstick under your nose. Good luck.

Since this is your 2nd child, Im sure you know that morning sickness wont last forever. Get your hubby to help out in the morning with the cooking...
When I was pregnant, I didn't let myself feel sick. Instead, everytime I felt like throwing up...I would just lie down and take deep breaths. It worked for me...

poor girl....i had the same problem.the worse for me was broccoli.ask someone to help you cook there meals.or start making stuff that's real quick and healthy that you can deal with.if your kid likes cereal,get some strawberry mini wheats.they are good and a healthy cereal to eat and my two kids love them too.and as for detergents,stop using detergents with fragrances in it or fabric softener.those are irritants that can bother you.congrats on your soon to be little one.good luck and best wishes to you and your family :)

I had morning sickness with my second child so bad I could only eat pickles and I would even barf that back up. Every pregnancy is different and the only thing that you can do is go with it until it passes, if it does. Some women have morning sickness throughout their entire pregnancy. I hope that you are not one of them.
