How did/do you handle morning sickness at work?

Fresh orange and lemon juice, cold as you can get it.
Do you have a juice bar nearby? I didn't even like it all that much, but it made all the difference.

Lol I was actually on my way next door to buy juice when the yucky feeling came!! Afterwards that's the last thing I wanted, but tomorrow I'll make sure I have some on hand early, thanks

And shell, good to hear the food thing works, thanks. I was thinking half the problem was because I hadn't eaten since breakfast which was a long time earlier. On my back from getting changed I popped into Foodland and got some scoth finger biscuits, they really helped for the rest of the morning

I kept a big stash of lollies at work - especially sour ones as disgusting as they are, they took away the really sick feeling. I also drank orange and lemon juice - you can buy it in the fresh juice section at the supermarket if you don't have a juice bar. I never could stop myself from vomiting unfortunately, so I had to tell some work mates earlier than I would of liked - especially after I vomited in the kitchen sink while one was eating her lunch .

You poor thing! that must have been terrible. I hope you stayed at home with your gastro bug.

I ate and ate..never had and empty stomach. I also drank lemon & ginger tea. Snakes and Sour Bears were always great at keeping the nausea at bay.

Haha JM! I did try the 'gastro' angle for a while - DS apparently passed it on alot from daycare - but then everyone got too suss. I have enjoyed being pampered by everyone though!
KT - you can also try things like sea sickness bands which you can buy from the chemist - they never worked for me but I do know people that have used them and had success.

I used to work in a nursing home and got up at 5am for work, which was just awful while I had morning sickness. I made sure I had Clix biscuits (had to be Clix, nothing else worked) by my bedside. When I woke up I would eat a few, wait maybe 15mins while they digested a bit. Only then would I get up and get moving. Couldn't eat breakfast but I took ginger beer to work and would sip on that for the first couple of hours. And because we had a kitchen I could make myself some toast with butter around 9am which would help me feel better.
I found if I skipped the biscuits I would be soooo sick! So they really worked for me.

Good luck! Hope it eases off for you asap.

Thanks heaps everyone I've got some juice for tomorrow, and the scotch finger biscuits worked really well today so I'll keep that up too. My excuse today was that I had a migraine because that's actually happened to me at work before so they readily accepted it lol. But then I realised after that I can only use that excuse once!! Hopefully it's just nausea and no vomiting from now on

I tend to vomit every day until the 4 month mark. It's terrible and you have my sympathy. The only thing which worked for me and meant that I could get out the door in the morning was a 'tac yack' as DH called it (as in tactical). I would make myself vomit when I first got up, otherwise it would happen on the train at work etc. I know it's yucky, but once I'd done it I felt I could face the day. Nothing else seemed to help for me except actually vomiting.

ETA I also always had a vomit bag on me and trust me, I needed to use it more than a few times.
