[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 507917, member: 11791"] Deni - Can't give much advice about your difficult child, but... being PG in your 30s? been there done that x 2. And... I had the most success with this the second time around, because it was second nature by then. But it really helps. You will find that allowing yourself to get hungry will fuel major nausea. By the time you are hungry, your blood sugar is already to low, and then you end up with blood-sugar yo-yos. Which means... nausea going up, and nausea going down. So. Time to control that blood sugar. Eat before you even get out of bed. Maybe a couple of arrowroot cookies and a drinking box of apple juice (I found that apple juice worked best for this... it tastes good at any temperature!). ALWAYS eat breakfast. And lunch. And supper, and a snack in between each, and a bedtime snack. Forget about calories - just make sure that everything you eat is packed with food value... so, no candy, but no problem enjoying dried fruit, nut, trail mix... (and those pack well!) And then... if you can stand strong ginger, go get some "travellers candy" - is basically ginger and sugar, but it is [I]real ginger[/I], not ginger-flavor. And the ginger is well known to help nausea... and is safe during pregnancy. (my ob-gyn was in on the study into that...) If you can't stand ginger, peppermint tea also helps. [/QUOTE]
