I was wondering what you were up to. :-)

I had really bad morning sickness, too, with both my kids. As long as you can hold down your prenatal vitamin, you should be fine. Many times my meals were meager: saltine crackers, Sprite or seltzer water with lime juice and limes. In fact, I always had a lime at my bedside to sniff and take a taste. (Old Latin American remedy.) Rest as much as you can.

At nine weeks, you are almost this hump!

Congratulations!!!!!!!

I am starting to get baby fever around here myself!  With all these pregnancies and adoptions and all sorts of wonderful happenings!

First time, pg with a boy, working too, wasn't nauseous past the first trimester, and not even that bad.

Second time, pg with a girl, NAUSEOUS THE ENTIRE PREGNANCY.  Oh my god.  Didn't vomit much.

Anyway, I sympathize, but sending you lots of happy wishes and hoping it passes for you soon.

I'm glad I'm in good company! I'm 10 weeks along today, so let's hear it for April babies. I too wanted a summer baby (June would have been ideal) but it was too easy, I guess :)

I thought being pregnant with DS was bad. I had nausea and food aversions, extreme fatigue, the whole nine yards. Well, that was nothing like this! Before meds, I couldn't even keep down saltines. Now I am able to eat real food but I still throw up at least once a day. DS is matter of fact about it: "Mommy threw up in the sink while we were playing robots. Don't throw up on my robots, Mommy, they're my favorite toys!"  And: "Don't throw up on your stuff because then it would be all gooey!"  Sound advice, indeed.

I keep a baggie full of Kix cereal with me at all times. I tell myself it's helping. At the very least, it's extra vitamins!

DS is also getting more than his share of TV lately but I don't think he'll suffer any permanent trauma. Or so I try to reassure myself!

Hope to be joining you soon. Glad to hear you had an easy time getting pregnant, even if it happened sooner than expected.

It's making me nervous to hear about your nausea and food aversions the second time around! I had a picture-perfect pregnancy the first time (had a girl), and just took it for granted that the next one will be lovely as well. I'd better prepare myself for the possibility of morning sickness!

Hang in there!

Good news! Sorry you are feeling green. I had five months of morning, afternoon & evening sickness with my twins and then by the time that stopped, I was so big I could hardly eat anything before I felt full.

One thing that I could keep down -- chocolate milk. I drank a quart of it every morning once I figured that out -- I am not kidding. Often it was the only thing that stayed down all day.

I hope your nausea ends soon!

I always had morning sickness.  It was worse with some than with others.  It sucks...but one thing I still find helpful is to keep hard peppermint candies close...you know, for those times that not letting yourself get empty, etc., just aren't doing the trick.

Food aversions are funny.  With one of my daughters, I could not stand the sight or smell of pizza.  I couldn't even be in the same house where it had been eaten hours before.  I still don't like pizza 21 years later.  With one of my sons I didn't like meat.  I could manage a little ground beef in a casserole, but couldn't manage to eat more than that.  In fact, it made me ill to prepare it for the rest of my family.  Go figure.  With the rest of my kids I craved it to the point of wanting to eat it raw.

Though I am sorry about the sickness!

I'm 32 weeks with #2, and I was horribly sick both times.  With this first I was the most sick weeks 8-14, and with this one I was sick weeks 6-15, with horrible heartburn for a while after that, though it's gone now.  My first daughter is now 8 and boy did she get a lot of TV and computer time those first few months!  She was also great about helping take care of me, which was especially nice since DH is at work most evenings.  She'd bring me water or crackers, stuff like that.  

Things I actually could eat: yogurt, bananas, plain spaghetti, white rice, potatoes without skins....   Oh, and I could also eat a few things at Taco Bell: Beef meximelts without the tomatoes, and bean burritos.  I avoided tomatoes at all costs...nasty!  Trust your nose!  (Though my nose was a better guide in my first pregnancy...with this one it betrayed me from time to time, lol.)

Things that are supposed to help: lemon or lime (either just smelling it or actually eating it...try lemon in your water), and ginger.  There are these ginger candies that you can get at Asian food stores.  My friend swears they helped her, though she could only eat 1/2 of one at a time.  I tried it, but couldn't eat it.  It's kind of gooey and very strong flavored.  

I did take Zofran with this baby.  It didn't stop the nausea (though it lessened it), but it would definitely keep me from throwing up.

Good luck!

Nola

First time out, I was horribly ill and had HORRIBLE food aversions.  I couldn't eat any meat but corned beef.  The only thing I could eat for breakfast was Entenmann's fudge iced chocolate cake.   My husband HATED making dinner because he would call me every day and say "What do you want for dinner?" and I would groan and say "Stop asking me that!!!"

This time around, I have the horrible illness but the aversions haven't shown up.  I can't eat a lot in one sitting.  I feel nauseous all day long.  "Morning" sickness my ass.  
Something that helped me a lot the first time around that I can't seem to find this time were Ginger Altoids.  They were like a miracle pill.  Preggy Pops help a little bit.  Of course, crackers are a staple.  

The upside of this extreme illness:  I came out of pregnancy ten pounds lighter than I went in, having only gained 20 pounds total.  Since I have a totally healthy daughter (and yes, you seem to be having a girl!), I can not feel guilty in pointing this out.  :)

Congratulations on your pregnancy!  Late spring babies are the best because you don't get trapped in your house by either the heat or the cold.  Yay!

pregnancies and babies can be even with the same mother????

Your experience actually sounds a lot like mine.  No morning sickness with #1, a lot with #2.  Even the smell of coffee, Chinese food, etc. was too much for me.  Even the smell of a person smoking two or three cars in front of me at a traffic light would make me nauseous....I'd have to roll my window up.  

Congratulations!!!  I hope your morning sickness wanes by the second trimester if not sooner.  

hope you feel better :>)

mexican ladies used to tell me this one and by golly, it worked. I could add to my diet of bananas, ginger candy, and crackers by eating chips and salsa. So weird.

and terrible nausea is just now easing. Eating a cracker before getting out of bed helped (advice from grandmother).

Applesauce was one thing I found I could smell and eat without wanting to throw up.

Tessajp, I saw Ginger Altoids at the supermarket yesterday so they still make them--maybe you can order them online.

It is organic and natural.  One of the main active ingredients is Ginger

The tea is made by Earth Mama Angel Baby, and is available several places, including here.
