: Does anyone have any advice on handleing morning sickness? I am almost 2 months along and have recently been getting sick throughout the day (and night). The dr doesn't want to prescribe anything unless it is bothersome to the point where I am losing weight. She suggested crackers, mint tea, small meals throughout the day, ect. None seem to be working and I am miserable all day. I have a 1 year old daughter that I need to care for and this is getting bad enough where it's getting in the way of me doing that. I didn't go through this with her so it's all new to me. thanks!

I can relate. I lost 10 pounds so far with my 3rd pregnancy due to all day sickness. I found that taking vitamin B6 seems to be helping me-I take it at night so I don't vomit it up, and I stopped taking my prenatal-which makes some women sick-instead I take flintstones kids vitamin and a folic acid tablet. I think the herb, Ginger is supposed to help too but I couldn't stomach it-it may help you though. i also try to eat lots of protien which takes away the nauseous-know you need to eat but don't feel like it-feeling.I have people praying too.Good luck to you!-Karen
