sorry hun, but in my experience, you have to just keep trying different things, and making sure that you don't get dehydrated ...
sleep was the only consistent thing which helped (and I mean helped - it was less intense if I slept LOTS - as in 12+ hours at night - but I would still have nausea and some vomiting).
other things which helped for a while and then didn't:-
* watermelon
* mineral water with a quirt of lime juice
* just letting myself have a big spew in the morning, and then getting on with life ...
* zantac (on Dr's advice)
* very cold milk
* steamed rice with thin soy sauce
* steamed potatoes and green beans with a little butter
* lemon sherbert lollies
but it really sometimes was a matter of going to the shops, walking around until I saw something I thought I might be able to keep down ...
but I hate to say, I had m/s for 32 weeks when pg with DS, and I still have m/s this time ...
there are medicines you can get to help, but personally, they make me too drowsy to function.
eat before you get hungry - and eat stuff that is high in protein/low GI so that it takes a lot longer to "wear off" during the day. i ended up with alarms set in the early hours of the morning so i could eat essentially through the night and go back to sleep. Vaalia yogurt at 4.30 or thereabouts, cheese at 6.30, boiled egg (cooked the night before) at 8 or 9 when i could get out of bed.... then snacking all day, eating carbs when things got bad (potato wedges were my one thing i could always stomach).
i tried a bit of everything - the ginger morning sickness tablets worked for a while, but not long - they helped the nausea from the MS, but the ginger gave me heartburn, which was just as bad lol. ginger biscuits again helped for a while, but same deal. i got over ginger ale VERY quickly! peppermint was something that i went off very early in the pregnancy - i used to use minties all the time to control car sickness, but couldn't eat them while pregnant (and even now lol)
i read somewhere that people either need warm or cool to help control their MS. if it's "warm", it's the ginger based stuff, if it's the "cool", it's peppermint based. you'll need to experiment with what works for you.
much sympathy hun - that constant nausea is horrible isn't it?
