Congratulations! I am so sorry that you are ill and can't offer any morning sickness cures other than what I have seen in stores like those lollipops. Have you seen those? I don't know if they work but I guess just about anything is worth a try! Ginger Ale? Crackers? Happy Easter and I pray you get to feeling better!

Congratulations. I am an ob /gyn nurse. We recommend using Unisom at night There is an ingredient in it that helps with morning sickness. Hope it helps.

Oh bless your heart. I had terrible morning sickness and with some of my pregnancies, they lasted all day. I always kept soda crackers by my bed. Hang in there, it will taper off.

Hugs,
LeAnn:)

Congrats~~~ That first bed is so beautiful. I also enjoyed pics from the La Maison Sale-how often is that sale? I sure hope you get over your morning sickness quickly so you can concentrate on the good stuff-SHOPPING!!

Oh, I'm so excited for you! Congratulations. ;) Sorry about the morning sickness - poor you! As I've never been pregant, I have no remedies but my older sister has had 4 and has had terrible all day sickness with all of her pregnancies. She's learned that even though she doesn't feel like eating she needs to keep her stomach constantly full - not big meals but very small snacks/meals all day. The preggo pops did not work for her, but everyone is different.

I love all of the cribs - so gorgeous and romantic. Makes me want a little one.

Congrats again to you and your hubby!

Congratulations! So sorry to hear about the all-day morning sickness. I don't have any tips I'm afraid, but virtual {{hugs}} to you!

Larissa said...

Congrats on your baby!!! I'm a fairly new reader, so I haven't commented before, but I love your blog! Those cribs are beautiful! I'm actually 29 weeks prego, so it wasn't that long ago that I had the "all day" morning sickness myself... I took regular unisom and B6 each night - it noticably helped, but didn't take it all away. Also grape fitness water got me through many yuk days... maybe because it has B6 in it too? I've heard ginger snaps work, but never tried them.
Hope you are feeling better soon!

Sherry Williams said...

Congratulations sweetie! I was sick all three times & nothing helped me. I have since learned that you need to drink lots of water to keep you hydrated. Just remember it gets better & better each week.
I love the cribs you are looking at! It's such an exciting event!
hugs,
Sherry

Claudia said...

Congratulations! Wonderful news, though I am sorry about your morning sickness. Can't give you any advice as I only have fur babies, but hang in there!

Cindy said...

Congratulations!!!! Sorry to hear about the morning sickness. I didn't have much of that so I don't have any great remedies but I heard that ginger candy is supposed to work.

I love those cribs!!! I can't wait to see how you decorate the nursery!!! I'm sure it will be gorgeous!!

Unknown said...

Congratulations!!! Those cribs are all so gorgeous. I'm sure your nursery will be gorgeous. Sorry that you are miserable. I hope you are able to have a very Happy Easter and get some chocolate!

Rachel said...

Congrats!! I was wondering what happened to you, lol. I feel for you, I had morning sickness the first four months- I know it's so miserable :o( I don't think I could hold down anything besides a few saltines and small sips of ginger-ale.

My one big tip is: don't eat anything you absolutely love- if you get sick after eating it once, you may never want to eat it again- really! The taste will remind you of being sick. On the other hand, it could be a good way to ditch a bad habit, lol.

Good Luck with everything!!
Best Wishes,
Rachel

Michele said...

Congratulations! What wonderful news! Hope the morning sickness goes away soon for you. I never had it with either of my two, so don't know what to say...except maybe crackers before you even get out of bed in the morning!

Hugz,
Michele

Congrats! Bagels in the morning helped me. Thanks so much for visiting my blog's 100th post give~away! Hugs, Erin

There is a accupuncture spot on your armwrist that will help, if you give pressure to. Look in a book of accupuncture or accupressure to get the right spot. It helped my sickness, so good luck!!! You are truly blessed and I would love to be sick for nine months any time again. Blessed with two wonderful girls but having problems to get pregnant, I really feel happy for you!!!

Angie said...

What wonderful news! Congratulations to you and hubby! This little one is going to have one fabulous looking nursery for sure! I had horrible morning sickness with both of mine. Make sure you are drinking lots of fluids..especially water. I would keep a carafe by my bed of water and drink it throughout the night. Dehydration can cause dizziness and fatigue. Try ginger, chamomile or peppermint tea if you can stomach it. Pineapple helps with nausea and heartburn. I ate a lot of popsicles and jello, too. Keep high protein snacks on hand...nuts, string cheese, peanut butter...whatever appeals to you. Don't let yourself get too hungry as that can make it worse. And Hang in there..it should subside soon. Take care of yourself!

Congratulatons! That is great news! Sorry to hear that you are having to deal with morning sickness. I did too with my last one. I ate a lot of crackers and drank a lot of Sprite. It helped. Also fruit like lemons and oranges helped.

Those cribs are beautiful. I bet you are going to have the cutest nursery.

Marie Reed said...

I just fell on your blog and saw that you are dealing with morning sickness! You poor thing! I had a hooorible time with that. My tip is to actually carry plastic grocery bags with you at all times. That may sound bizarre and yucky but I had to throw up into them quite often and was so glad to keep a stash with me when I was on the go! Congrats!

Rosie said...

Sweetheart,
Congratulations! Take care of yourself and come back to the world of blogging when you are feeling better! Nothing more precious that expecting/getting a new little one in the house!
God bless you

Congrats on the impending arrival of your baby. I'm so sorry you're dealing with MS. Blah! Bread, crackers and peppermint tea always helped me. Hugs!

Congratulations! I haven't been by here in so long but I just had to try and help with some advice.

With my last pregnancy, I had all day morning sickness, too! what works for one doesn't always work for another but I made a lemonaide and sipped on it through out the whole day and it helped so much! The lemon helps your liver deal with toxins.

BTW, Cute cribs! ♥

I am 17 weeks pregnant now. I started out getting nauseous but never threw up. At my first appointment I asked my doctor for medicine to help with it and he gave me Zofran (Ondansteron) which worked great. After the first week on it I didn't even feel queasy and was able to eat almost anything that did smell too strong.

If you are wanting to go the non-prescription route ginger is always a good choice however the carbonation in the drink can aggravate some women so I would try getting pickled ginger in a jar or cooking with fresh ginger root. Some women swear by ginger snap cookies and Moravian ginger cookies http://www.hanescookies.com/hanes_cs/default.asp .
