Can anybody give me some helpful tips re morning sickness to pass onto my daughter who is in the very early stages of her 2nd pregnancy? She has had severe morning sickness for some time now and has not been able to keep down any food or water. She has also been to the doctor who gave her some pills for her nausea but these don't help. This can't be good for either her or the baby and I am getting pretty worried....can anyone offer any advice?

With my daughter I had hypremisis. In and out of hospital because I was so sick, I ended up vomiting up blood etc, anything I ate would come up, same as fluids, in the end I resulted to sports drinks (hospital advised me to) & watermelon, surprisingly they stayed down and didn't taste fowl if they came back up. The hospital put me on odanzatron (its based on a chemo therapy drug) but they actually work. It was a life saver during the severe morning sickness, all the doctors prescription's never worked, if anything I was much worse. Light food is the easy way to try overcome it,
Find what works for it, everyone's different.
All the best.

I had terrible morning sickness with my daughter nothing would work. Not even the tables from the midwifes. Eventually by 28 weeks I started feeling better. Toast is really good on the morning to help control the vomiting. Is an awful thing to go through while pregnant. But there is much we can do some of us just get a lot sucker than others... Hope she's better soon!
