    3 times a day is pretty mild, it does feel a lot worse though!

    The good news is that it WILL pass...the old wive's tale says sick mum = healthy baby in regards to morning sickness.

    Stuff with real ginger in it works pretty well.

    There's also a pressure point in your wrist and massaging/pressing it is said to be effective also. You might have to google that one, I can't for the life of me remember exactly where it is.

    If you try all the remedies above and still feel crap - you could try accupuncture.

    Nothing is going to cure it 100%, except waiting....trust me, the time will fly past!

    Congratulations!!!! I agree with the list peanutter provided you and the other ladies on here. Unfortunately it didn't matter what i ate, some things made it not as bad but it was still there and it may possibly get worse. I stuck it out for about 4 weeks and then got some maxolon from the doc which worked for me. Hope that helps.

    Thank you for all the suggestions.

    Today started off really, really bad. I vomited three times, but all this morning, within 2 hours. I cried because I was worried it would be like this through my whole pregnancy.

    I called a friend who assured me it will pass, and she said that what worked for her was a glass of ice cold coke, and gingernut biscuits. So I tried the coke after my last vomit, and while I still felt horrible on the inside, I actually didn't feel the urge to vomit! It could be coincidence, though I hope not.

    I will have a google tonight and see what else I can arm myself up with to try out.
