My Advice:
 

Hi, I just want to say that my morning sickness lasted all day long and it got so bad I couldn't drive and so couldn't go to work. I found that if I drunk diluted fruit juice or ginger beer, I felt marginally better. As for foods, carbs were best. I was able to eat small amounts of boiled rice and mashed potatos (without milk). Then as my pregnancy progressed I could eat noodles in a cup and pasta.

Obviously, everyone is different, so I'm not saying go out and buy lots of noodles in a cup, as good nutrition is still vital and if you can manage some steamed veggies once in a while, go for it.

Also, there is a product sold in most health stores called 'Wild Mexican Yam', or 'Anna's Yam' that you can rub on your belly and that helps too. (I later learnt that it's good for keeping strech marks at bay too!) If you can't find that, try looking it up on Google.

Hope this helps! And good luck to your friend, I hope the morning sickness doesn't take the joy away of bringing a brand new life into the world!
