It seems to be constant all day, she never seems to get a break from the sickly feelings. Does anybody have any idea's on how to make things easier for her or is this just part of the storm we will have to ride out?

part of the storm i am afraid!!! there are lots of dif theories to help with morning sickness, e.g arrowroot biscuits, plain digestives in the morning before she gets out of bed
http://www.babycentre.co.uk/ (best website by far) will give you great advice and is as accurate as pregnancy can be x x

Hello,
First off if she is being sick all of the time she may need to go and see a Dr as she cold dehydrate and this isn't good.
If she isn't being sick but just feeling awful then Ginger Biscuits are a great idea. She should try and eat one before sitting up or getting out of bed in the morning.
Hope this helps

Congratulations!
Everyone is different. Sometimes certain smells can make it worse. Try and avoid strong smells. In the morning get up slowly. If its possible have something like dry toast in bed before getting up.
Would you believe I found Dates to be the best thing for my sickness (and it weren't just 'morning' sickness!).
Other things that helped me when I was feeling really sick is grated ginger with half a teaspoon of honey, if you don't like the fibre then just squeeze the juice out.
Ensure she's eating regularly, even though she may feel worse after eating, (like I did), the feeling does subside once you've had something to eat, and should feel better for longer. Snack in between meals, and ensure meals are of small portions.
Hope this helps. :-)

Some women get it horribly bad and other women do not get it at all. There is nothing really that you can do to get rid of morning sickness I am afraid. Some of the things that helped me the most was to eat little tiny meals. I know she is so hungry because she feels like she isn't getting anything, but the smaller the better. Saltines are usually a good route to go to get her stomach settled so maybe she could eat a little more. Also, water made me sick so I drank gatorade and juices. If it really stays too bad over serveral days I would reccomend her calling the doctor. They may be able to help her more. Best wishes.

Your poor wife, I suffered with it for almost 5 months. The good thing is that it's meant to indicate a strong pregnancy so I suppose that's something!
I found the following really helpful: "Real" lemonade, ginger biscuits (nibbled at), breadsticks, and eating whatever she fancies little and often. Careful doing teeth as well as every time I put my toothbrush in my mouth it used to set me off! So did cooking smells. Apart from that I wouldn't take any medication at all but those seabands (acupressure wristbands) may help. Good luck!

I suffered with morning sickness for the first 16 weeks of my pregnancy ... it's started to come back over the past few weeks.
To begin with, I ate ginger biscuits ... drank real lemonade ...
But then it got so bad, i had to go see my GP.
(I was constantly throwing up whilst at work - I feel so sorry for my boss ... he even cleared up after me on a few occasions !! ha ha)
But ... depending on where you are with the pregnancy, your GP can prescribe anti-sickness tablets to help with the nausea. Don't take over the counter medicine without getting medical advice first.
I was told to take 1 tablet 3 x daily ... i didn't want to have to rely on them too much - so i only took 1 a day ... (first thing in the morning) this cured me for the rest of the day.
They were a godsend ... I don't know how i would've coped without them !!
Depending on how bad she feels - i'd recommend going to see your GP.
Good luck x

Try ginger tea or tablets(great for nausea and travel sickness, including morning sickness). Sucking on lemon wedges often helps. I've never tried this myself but apparently raspberry leaf tea is good. Most women get better as the pregnancy progresses - best wishes to you both.

My wife's pregnant with our second child and I can now confirm scientifically that this is all par for the course (apart from those annoyingly smug mothers-to-be who you see skateboarding through the aisles of ASDA buying free-range nappies).
Basically fetch her whatever food takes her fancy at whatever time of night or day, make sure she rests, and a cold flannel for the head often helps to freshen things up (feeling hot is *very* common).
One top tip is : GINGER BISCUITS. My wife doesn't even like them, but something in them makes her feel instantly better.

I used to think of i replaced into an superb guy by way of fact i replaced into effectual, ordinary mannered and stressful-working. I later discovered that my introversion made me seem creepy and unfriendly, so as that my efforts and artwork have been continually overshadowed by using some awkward cloud that made others uncomfortable. It wasn't until eventually I discovered the tao of shamelessness that i found out fake smiles and a noisy voice to imitate extroversion, coupled with some blatant selfishness to show that I genuinely have some form of ambitious character, will do much greater in direction of making me seem super and approachable than in user-friendly terms doing sturdy deeds, sympathizing with others' confusion or soreness and/or "no longer doing advise issues."

I have three boys...one five, three and five months..I would suggest that she get the nausea pill from her DR..Itll help calm down the nausea..lots and lots of saltine crackers and a natural organic juice called recharge..and water w/ electrolites in it will helpalso..but first of all shes got to be able to keep those things down..thats why I suggested the nausea pill..cant remember the name..but her ob should know what Im talking..its for antinausea....morning sickness..
My friend took it...I never had morning sickness...just felt alittle tired and when I brushed my back molar..right side..came close once..but have never had it...I took great care of my friend that did though and thats what we did for her..Try this stuff and see if it works..I truly feel bad for your wife..but look at it this way..You two are blessed with a gift that God gave youboth....A beautiful Child On the Way...
.............CONGRATS!!!!............. ;))
