Pregnant and my job is making me physically sick?

Question

I got a job driving a school bus at the end of August. I didn't know that I was going to suffer very bad motion sickness or that I would conceive a few days later. I'm about to enter my eighth week. The hours are brutal but I could live with that for awhile but every time I step off the bus, it takes every fiber of my being to not pass out plus our 2 year old son comes to work with me. We aren't allowed to eat or drink while driving but I manage to sneak in a couple of sips of Gatorade at stop lights. I've signed a 3 month contract and they don't care how sick I get. I tried Ginger, gum, sea bands. Nothing works. I'm so stressed about it that I can't breath sometimes. I also take care of our DS 24 hours a day. I don't know what to do and I'm worried that I'm harming our unborn child. Just thinking about the fact that I have to drive for 6 hours tomorrow makes me want to throw up. What to I do?

Update:

We work opposite shifts with my fiance and he's a little whiner who thinks it's too hard to take care of him in his spare time.

I know you feel lousy - but it's just run of the mill morning sickness. It should get better in a few weeks. Not much you can do really since you've tried so much already. But you aren't going to harm your baby - your baby isn't affected by morning sickness, not ever. Even if you had severe vomiting and were losing a lot of weight - the baby gets what it needs from your body by your metabolism breaking down fat, muscle, and bone to release the necessary nutrients baby needs to grow. 

Not sure why you're taking care of your son 24/7 - does your husband do NOTHING to help you, and if so, why not?
