Hi all. I'm also 15 weeks pregnant on my 1st and am still being sick also. I have lost over a stone so far and was really worried about it, I asked the midwife about it and she said it should pass and not to worry too much. Some days I'm fine but others like today it's terrible. This morning on the way to work I had to get off the bus to be sick which was a bit embarrassing. Some days I can only tollerate toast apples and cereal. I thought by now it would have passed as they say in all the books that mostly it's up until the 12th week but I suppose not everyone is the same!!!

I just wanted to say I bought some of the travel sickness bands at the weekend and they've been brilliant! I think I've only been sick twice since Saturday which is amazing! I wish someone had told me about them sooner, I feel great now and can finally start enjoying being pregnant. Thanks Gill! I got weighed at my scan and I've lost a stone since finding out I was pregnant but the Midwife wasn't concerned, she said I'll start putting weight on soon.

I am 8 weeks pregnant with my second child of whom is 7 now.
i feel sick constantly morning, afternoon and evening i have only been sick once but i am constantley heiving its horrible i cannot remember being like this with my daughter?????????
I have treid ginger and arroroot biscuits, plain crisps, plenty of milk and warm baths.
The only thing that helps at the moment is ice lollies and chocolate milk tescos own.

I might try those motion sickness bands??does anyone know how much they are??

ialso am waiting to be contacted by the midwife for an appointment how long do i wait before i call and pester??

Everything has changed so much in 7 years...

I can empathise, you poor thing! I am 9 and a half weeks pregnant with my first, and have been feeling constantly sick and grotty for the past 3 weeks. 'Morning' sickness indeed! If only it were confined to the mornings... I would be so happy! Work is out of the question currently, which is not great as I was self-employed.

I have tried the ginger capsules which you can get from health food shops, and they seem to help a little. They are tiny and odourless so don't make you gag, and altho I still feel nauseous quite frequently, I'm no longer actually being sick. Don't worry if you can only eat unhealthy food, that's not a problem, just try to get something into you. Dry crackers and mini Babybel cheese often make me feel a bit better. And suck citrus sweets - lemon helps with nausea.

mrs480T - your midwife should call you around 9-10 weeks to arrange your booking visit, so if you haven't heard by then you could give them a call and chase it up. And I think the travel bands are fairly inexpensive, they sell them in Boots, I'm fairly sure they are less than a tenner.

hi there my daughter is now 2 months old but when i was pregnant with her i had really bad sickness all day all night i couldnt even keep water down at one point i tried ginger biscuits,crackers.dry toast but nothing seemed to work some one told me sickness is a sign of a healthy placenta dont know if thats true. it made me feel crap been sick so much but got better towards the backend of the forth month. as long as your keeping bits down anything is better then nothing. good luck hope ive helped

Hiya,
I'm 16 weeks 2 days and still suffer from all day sickness.
I must admit it has calmed down alot, but I still very often feel like being sick heavin etc, where as before it was feeling as well as being.
I found the only thing that helped me was anything ice cold, water, ice or ice lollies, I know this won't work for everyone thou.

hi im 19 weeks i suffer mostly mornings and nightimes withe sickness it went for a few weeks but has returned it is called hyperemesis i was in hospital at 7 weeks for it dehydration in other words n was put on a drip but it eases offx

Hi everyone its such a relief to read other people have been going through what I have, even though I wouldnt wish it on anyone. Im now pregnant with my fourth child and am 14 weeks pregnant. My eldest is 12years old. With all 4 pregnancies I have had all day sickness from the day I hit 6 weeks until Im 15/16 weeks. With all of mine I have ended up in hospital for nearly a week on a drip at 8 weeks. I have tried everything from ginger biscuits, ginger tea to sickness bands and nothing works for me. It is so depressing and makes you feel awful. I havent been at work since I was 6 weeks as the doctor has signed me off and have lost nearly half a stone. What I have found out is the more we are sick the healthier the baby. As I said earlier this is my 4th and this is the 1st time Ive found others that go through what I do. I hope you all feel better soon and get to enjoy the rest of your pregnanciesxx

Hi everyone, I am Lucy, I am currently 9 weeks pregnant with my first child. I am so excited but the sickness is really getting to me!!! Its every day all day and worse in the Mornings and Late evenings. The doctor has given me some tablets for the sickness which are a god send!!!! I take 2 before bed and i am not sick in the morning or during the day. Although strong smells make a little woozey like after shave or greasy food. I am getting better i hope everybody else gets better as it is not a nice experiance to go through. But all i think of is the fact i am going to have a beautiful baby at the end of all this!!!!!
