    These are my 6th & 7th children and I've had the worst morning sickness ever!

    Crackers made me sick. Actually, any kind of white breads. Soda is never good for anybody, and soda with real ginger is even harder to find. The smell of ginger alone makes me more sick - I have no idea who thought of this, but they're crazy!

    I tried those "preggie pops" - really, they're pretty good. If you like candy. But, did nothing for the morning sickness. What I got - was major sugar highs. And then the sugar lows were soooo bad, I got migraines from them. I will never recommend them to a smart pregnant person.

    You can take Emetrol. As directed. I think it's 1-2 spoonfuls every few hours.

    1/2 unisom gel caplet with a vitamin B6 - at night. Other kids running around make a mom sleepy enough at night - even 1/2 unisom will knock you out! I like the gel caps, because they're easier to cut & not yucky chalky.

    I called my OB - he gave me a prescription for Zofran. Really expensive if you don't have insurance coverage. Instant-dissolve pill, that works wonders. If it wasn't for those pills, I don't know how I would've held anything down.

    No matter what - keep yourself hydrated. Take several sips as often as you can. Dehydration not only makes morning sickness worse - but also creates more havoc in your system. (Cramps, dizziness, slowdown of digestion, constipation, etc).

    If you think you're morning sickness is more severe this time around - call your OB. I was soooo sick that when I went to see mine, he was asking whether or not twins run in my family, before he turned on the portable ultrasound. Sure enough, twins! Women in their late 20's to 30's actually have an increased chance of twins, if they've given birth before.

    You might try a small piece of chocolate. I read that in a mag when I was pregnant and very sick. It said morning sickness sometimes is just low blood sugar. I'm not sure how true that is but it really helped me. good luck anyway!

    If you have bad morning sickness like when nothing helps the doctor can give you something to help try asking your doctor.

    Ginger snaps worked for me for a little while. When it got really bad, I started taking Zofran- that helped alot!
