Eat crackers, like saltine or other mild crackers not cheesy or peanut buttery crackers (caps) all day long!! And drink water and milk all the time. Milk works best for me.

Well, you can eat crackers, but that will make you constipated... Anything ginger is good. Try ginger ale, ginger snaps, anything with real ginger. That should help... And, eat before you get hungry, and stop eating before you get full. Thats about all you can do.. Your doc can give you something for the morning sickness too... If you think it is too much

Lucky for me, I don't get constipated! Also - i'm only seven weeks, so you'd probably know better than me, but crackers or yogurt and milk work better for me than anything else.

Well I use gum, mints and soda. Not too much soda though. I use tums too. That really helps alot. I find it does for me anyways. You should take 3 a day because it has calcium for your baby too.

Im 12 weeks and im always sick. Popsicles have helped me, but fruit ones, not some crazy 8 color popsicle. Smile I also drink a lot of water, and during the day when im not throwing up I eat a lot of fruit. Milk definitley does help. Good luck, you can send me messages if you wanna talk.

you should be careful about this. The main thing that tums does, besides calcium, is to neutralize the acids in your stomach. This is fine when you have heartburn, but taking antacids every day can actually be harmful. This is how: when you take a tums when you have heartburn, the tums neutralizes the excess stomach acid and so your stomach returns to normal with the normal levels of acid. When you take it when you don't have heartburn, your acid levels drop below where they're supposed to be, and your stomach cannot digest your food properly, which means you don't get the nutrition out of the food. In a worst case scenario, large pieces of undigested food can lodge in your digestive tract and cause serious infections. This is rare, but possible. Your baby needs all the nutrition it can get, so especially during pregnancy, and especially since there other forms of calcium and calcium supplements out there, I wouldn't suggest loading up on tums.

And last but not least, the more acid you neutralize, the more acid your stomach will produce just to try to level off the balance in your stomach. Eventually you may find that if you stop taking antacids you'll have heartburn worse than ever.

Working cure of morning sickness
I was pregnant 2 times and have to say I didn't enjoyed the first at all. The second I was more lucky because I discovered a perfect cure. It's called acupressure and after applying the procedure my nausea stopped completely and I had no problems with ANY food at all. As mentioned in your article. I was sceptical at first but it prooved its quality so quickly and effictively that I was just amazed. That's why I'd like to spread a word about it.

Take care. Des
