Congrats Gigi - this is my first and I'm 38.

There are lots of us on BB who have experienced a delay in childbearing due to circumstances such as you describe.

Re the morning sickness ... seems to be a wide variety of things that help people and also the time of the sickness can be a misnomer. I didn't actually throw up but was just increasingly nauseous all day. Much worse at night. From a personal point of view, iced water with a squeeze of lemon (anything citrus really) and iceblocks helped. Some people swear by ginger but it only made me feel sick and I'm now off it completely. It might work for you though.

There's lots of tips on BB about cooking on a budget and so forth (see the food and house, home and money threads for more details). Hope you find something there that helps you.

Once again, congrats and stay in touch with us. Hope everything goes really well.

Melissa
