Morning sickness

Tea and I can't drink it to this day. My youngest daughter is 47 !!

Kidney .........! I used to love steak and kidney pie but when I became pregnant with my first baby the very smell of it turned my stomach. Oddly enough, I still cannot eat it........baby is now nearly 45!

DD had hyperemesis gravidarum all the way through her pregnancy, vomiting for the last time after giving birth. She vomited between 5 & 8 (sometimes more) times a day. Lost loads of weight. Was hospitalised with suspected organ failure. Baby was big and healthy and remains robust and vigorous.

All green vegetables except growing cress, coffee and chocolate I was so happy to eat chocolate again after having my second baby.

I couldn't drink coffee, the smell made me nauseous. I could manage tea but without milk.
I don't remember going off food, but I did have cravings. Mostly for raw fruit and vegetables.

With my first pregnancy I suffered from morning sickness. 24/7 almost from start to finish. I went off everything, but especially onions. If I ate one mouthful more than I wanted I was sick.

I learned to walk slowly,never rush and I ate a lot of ginger biscuits.

I put on less than a stone over the pregnancy and a week after I gave birth to my bouncing 9lb son, I weighed a stone less than I had at the start of my pregnancy. Best and most successful diet I have ever been on.

Second child, it was nowhere as bad and followed usual rules.

Luckily I never had a single moment of morning sickness, fit as a flea throughout.

Everything affected me with my first child. I was constantly sick. Once on the top deck of a bus. I was mortified.Sick all through labour also. Fine with my second though.

Never ever a problem for me. How does a growing baby gets the sustenance it needs?

Acupressure points, by hand or via travel sickness bracelets can really help. As was shown with several young friends I helped recently.

One of the first signs of pregnancy for me was going off coffee, which I normally love. My sense of smell also went mad and the smell of sheepskin mittens and a waxed jacket made me feel sick.
As for “morning” sickness, I was sick all day every day for up to 6 months. It was always worst in the evenings.

I was so lucky not to suffer. It must be awful.
