  Hi Eliza, I'm in the same boat... I have a 15 month old also and suffering horrendously with morning sickness ALL DAY! I only had a bit of nausea last pregnancy and just in the evening, but this time it's all day long and I am been vomitting also. Yuk!
  
  
  
  My DH also works long hours and I have recently gone back to work 4 days per week so I am really struggling at the moment. I honestly just want to curl up in bed until I am 13 weeks or so! My DS has started waking a couple of times in the night also which has made me an even bigger zombie. My DH has been supportive but thinks a positive attitude will get me through it?!?!? Are you kidding!!! I felt like shouting 'you genius! If only all the other pregnant woman in the world knew that, then we would all be feeling fab!'
  
  
  
  I suppose we have no choice but to get through it. If I have bouts of feeling 'normal' then I just cook up extra meals or do some washing.
  
  
  
  I sympathise with you hun, hope you feel better soon x

  Me too! I have a 2 1/2 year old and vomit most mornings and feel sick all day. She has just started preschool for 2 mornings a week so at least that helps. But I am really struggling to cook. I managed a pasta dish last night which is the most I have done in weeks! I don't have any family to help out either and although my hubby works from home, he is working and works 9-6.
  
  
  
  Am just hoping that it eases off soon, it went on til 18 weeks with my daughter. I'm having reflexology for it which seems to help a bit.
  
  
  
  Roll on second trimester!!
  
  
  
  PS Oscarsmummy, I really laughed at your comment about your hubby! They just don't understand at all. My husband wouldn't even get out of bed if he was doing this.

  G/C but was there this time last year. I was caught out as had no symptoms at all with DD1 but DD2 saw me with constant light bleeding throughout my 1st trimester & having sickness/headaches/nosebleeds. DD1 was an angel giving mummy lots of hugs (though this became an issue as mummy got bigger & she became more aware of 'something going to change'). ICE will help, it tops up hydration levels as well as keeping hunger at bay.

  Oh you poor ladies! I have a 13 month old and occasionally feel nauseous but haven't actually been sick so I've no idea how you are coping with it. I think that the tiredness makes me feel worse.
  
  I hope it passes soon for you x

  Hey Eliza!! I think I still have a lot to come which I'm not looking forward to. I'm super nauseous ALL day but not been sick - although changing LO's nappy has been quite challenging at times. I had a little gag outside today after changing him.
  
  
  
  I hope the move goes well hun and you don't suffer too much.

  I hope you all feel better soon! Well, I guess we know we will. I actually forgot about this part by the end of my last pregnancy.
  
  Oscarsmommy: it sounds like we are in very similar situations! Too funny about the positive mindset. I WISH that would work.
  
  Tashua: I know what you mean about cooking. I'm buying a lot more premade stuff than usual. Nothing appeals to me except lemonade.
  
  KazzieM: thanks for the ice tip. I'm going to try that!
  
  Thanks excitedfor2! Tiredness and stress are not helpful.
  
  Mummy_no_2: Sorry you feel so poorly too.
  
  Thanks KouklaMoo! The nausea is the worst. I know what you mean about the nappy. The sense of smell is nuts.

  Re: sense of smell. I seem to be having an adverse reaction to the smell of our washing powder - makes me feel really sick! Strange!! :roll: Oh well, DH will have to do all the washing!
