I had many suggestions when I had m/s, however none of them worked, turned out I had hyperemisis which is the extreme form of m/s, I was hospitialised to get my fluid intake up as I was peeing once a day and not able to ingest anything, it lasted 3 months. I'm not trying to scarey you, but I was very naive and thought it was normal, it wasn't. I was very sick, my baby was fine, but I wasn't enjoying life or even functioning. Try everything everyone suggest, ginger, peppermint tea, salt and vinegar crisps, lightly flavoured mineral water, strawberries, dry toast before you get out of bed, crackers with a tiny bit of cheese, try standing on your head if someone suggests it, cos anything is worth a go, if you are dehydrated then you will find it difficult to pull yourself back from that and will need some assistance. I tried all the natural suggestions, I tried b6, medication from the doctor, I ended up havign to use supositories after my hosiptial visit (very unpleasent), but you do what you have to. I had my son in last June, and before I had him I was certain her was going to be an only child due to my pregnancy experiences, two days after giving birth I was talking of number two. Thankfully God designed us to forget these horros, m/s and birth. Good job too, or the worlds population would be of the rapid decline. All the best, remember take each day as it come, don't do too much, get your friends and family to help out, cooking, cleaning etc, to leave your partner to care for you.
