llmats... Oh you poor dear! I remember what that was like with DD! Thankfully this time I am not nearly as sick! Yes I do think it is very normal, everyone is different when it comes to m/s, so it may just be slowing down a lot later than the 'usual'. My m/s didn't slow down until around 16 weeks the first time, sorry, I know thats not what you wanted to hear.

I found peppermint tea to be a great remidy! I'd have one at morning tea and I ALWAYS kept lunch down. Also sometimes apples would be a help with the nausious feeling.

I hope it's the storm just before the calm for you! Congrats on getting through your first trimester. The second trimester is much more relaxed and so exciting!
