Laudy Miss Claudy, nothing helped me with both my pregnancies. I was so sick and it lasted the whole 9 months. With my first pregnancy, I had to go into hospital to have a drip put into my arm because whatever I ate, it just came back up. It was aweful but all was well in the end. Well worth it

My wife had this. It shouldn't be compared to morning sickness. Its 24 h a day for 9 months. Mostly spent in hospital. Very scary.

Player #96919, i experienced the same. I was so sick for the whole pregnancy, lost 15 lbs in the first 3 months. I only had the one child, a beautiful girl, who had colic, night & day for 5 months. Needless to say, we only had the one child. We now have 2 grandsons ❤️

Morning, noon, and night sickness. I couldn't even drink water. A drug called Bendectin helped.

Player #27328253, your right, I had it, it cant be compared to normal morning sickness. i had it. was in hospital alot. I lost 2 stone while pregnant with my 2nd, I had her 6 weeks early as a result. I got told it would be dangerous to have any more children. I stuck at 2. no way could o have gone through it a 3rd time.

Arohanui, The theory is that avoiding most food is an evolutionary way of protecting the foetus from the mother eating food that may be harmful for development - if you can only eat certain foods the odds are that the chances of miscarriage are reduced...just a theory though and it didn't help knowing that one but when I pretty much leaned over a toilet bowl for 8 months of my pregnancy 🤢
