Men are the same all over, they have no idea, and been his first time he has less of an idea.....  My gorgeous sil is preg for the first time and the other night in the kitchen she said to her man eww whats that smell she sniffed again and repeated eww whats that smell and ran off to vomit, his reply was omg what is wrong with you!!!!  see no idea......  You will get all the sympathy you need Fi and I do hope it eases up, its just no fair for you not to be enjoying it xxxx

Again...if ever men had to carry babies there would be no births...they couldn't handle what we do.  I don't know if it's normal or not but I was sick (that is how I knew I was pregnant) with all of the pregnancies from the start till past the end...travelled with my trusty crackers. Dear Fi,make sure you get and retain enough fluid. Watch out that your potassium levels do not drop. You might need iron and also vitamins. The anti nausia drugs are so safe,make sure you get some. Take care dear Lady...I am feeling you are going to have a boy??? What do you think??? I am sending vibes Sweety,I soooo understand your feelings right now and what you are going through.  I know saying this and that is of little comfort...just wish I could reach out and help,hug you and somehow take some of all this off of you and somehow make it better. Truely sending good vibes your way.

You poor thing you have plenty of sympathy from all of us mums, but men would never cope with the morning sickness However it will be well worth it when you hold the new baby in your arms.

Hi honey,

I really feel for you and all the morning sickenss and I wish there was something that I could offer to help . . Have you tired drinking Green Tea??

As for JD - honey this is his first time and he may be all very confused and being away from you makes it harder because he can't actually see it. I know its frustrating and all you want is his support but I think he will give you heaps of that when he gets home . .

As for being alone well that is not the case!! YOU have ALL of us Minti mums here for you . . . . .

HUGS Kellz

Oh hunni I remember that disgusting feeling all too well.  I was violently ill with my first and had dehydrated so much that they put me hospital on a drip for 3 days.  After that though the sickness went away so that was great.

Unfortunately I was sick with all the others - not as violently but for longer!  It will get better.  Hang in there!

Fi, u are defantly not on ur own on all this. I was so damn sick from 4 weeks pregnant till 3 weeks after myah was born. I vomited everyday and more than 5-6 times a day. I was put on some anti nausea tablets in the middle of my pregnancy and at the end of it. I couldnt drive anywhere without vomiting or enter a shopping centre without needing to vomit. The kids suffered as i couldnt stomach the thought of cooking since all i could eat was fruit. Try sipping on peach juice, the one in the cans, the syrup, i found this to work enough for me to notice. I gotthe idea from a friend in the states who suffered badly from morning/day/night sickeness. I hope u dont last as long as what i did, but if u do try and keep ur spirits up, u dont want to get too down on urself. If it gets any worse or not any better in a week or 2 go and see ur dr, see what they can do for u now...u cant get too down on urself...its ur body not u........let me know how u go...

sweet there is nothing wrong. some ppls bodys just dont like the preggy feeling. i was sick 24/7 from day 1 to giving birth.

hugs to you sweety

 Sweetie, i'm real sorry...thought it had all passed for you.....I would send Steve up to  nurse you....is his a real gem at the nursing side but if you had to depend on him for cooking meals ( to regain your strength)....dear Fi you would starve....no not really..he does try his best.

Sending you all the best vibes i can wrapped up in plenty of love Janice xxxx

Men ugh, tell you what, as soon as he gets home, well after the welcome and all, sit him down on google and ask him to enter "Morning sickness",LOL. I bet he would understand then, well once he had spent the next year trawling through the different varieties and experiences of Morning Sicknes. He could become an expert, on the fact, that it is indivdual to the Mum. Bless him, he needs an education and you are the best person to teach him.hehe. Better still send him onto minti and the lovely ladies here will put JD on the right path.LOL

You take care of you and Miss G as best you can, I am sure she will understand how you feel, and thankfully it is not forever.

Luv Winnie.xx

oh fi i feel for you i had morning sickness but only for first 3 months. i would cook for hubby and then sit down to keep him company(he would insist but the moment i pulled the chair to me just the smell of meat woul have me running to the bathroom .

my sister just become a grandma for the first time (she is 9 yrs older than me) and she told me that with both her pregnancies she had it for the whole 9 months. check with doc just to make sure that evrything is ok

but men are so clueless ! i came out of supermarket to see this old lady fuming on friday. i was parked correctly but the parking nest to me was for invalid parking so i thought she was going to have a go at me for nothing.

but no she was fuming at her hubby she said  men are stupid all men are stupid she was waiting with the trolley another lady happened to go by at that moment and she was grinning too. i think the old lady summed it up men are so clueless at times.

Hi Fi

Hope you feel better soon,. and that JD comes around and understands where u are coming from,  as men are defientlty from a diffrent planet to us..

I am with the rest of the girls, if we could be there to hold your hand ,. we be there in a flash..

xx cazza

Oh chook..........more than anything I want to fly up there and take you in my arms and give you the support you need. Don't for one second guess yourself and your strength. You've been to hell and back and survived......I know it feels like you can't do this but I know you and I know you can do it. Everything you are going through and feeling is normal.

I've already told you this but I'm going to say it again........I'm so unbelieveably proud of you. You're much stronger than I was!!!!!

Love you from head to toe and the bits in between............xxxxxxxxxxxx

Oh sweetie!  JD will get it once he has it explained to him by a doctor, or me!!!!  I so wish I could come and help you, or have you come here.  It must be so hard to be going through it alone, I at least had Les with all mine.  The stress you put yourself under isn't helping either, so try and relax.  When you do eat, try some deep breathing exercises.  Drink super chilled drinks and suck on ice cubes too.  The less you actually put in your stomach, the better things will be.  In one go I mean!!!!!

Miss G will cope sweetie.  I should have thought before and made up a bedroom for her to come and stay here for a while.  Not much to do, but I'm sure her and our girls would have fun at the park.  I just haven;t been thinking lately!!!!!!

The morning sickness may go in the next few weeks, so don't condemn yourself to another 6 months of it just yet.  Try and get outside for some sunlight and fresh air too, it does help a little.

Sometimes men just don't get it! He will though when he realises your NOT putting it on and then his tune will change.

Wish I could drive up the coast and give you a hand. Just know that our prayers do get answered even from afar.

Reckon JD just doesn't get it at all and not being able to be there to do his bit to help and understand makes him see things through blinkers!!!!!!

With my daughter I wasn't sick at all but I had the feeling of nausea as if I was going to be sick 24/7 for all the 9 months which left me feeling pretty rotten

You're right doesn't matter how much positive vibes and love we pass through the airwaves, at the end of the day with your head over the basin you are alone!!!!!!! Believe me I would love to get on the next jet to help out and one day ..........but know with absolute surety and confidence I am there beside you in spirit willing you through this
