I've decided to open a subject completly dedicated to the relief and complaint of morning sickness. I've tried everything- small meals, ginger products, B6, peppermint, sea bands, and maxilon but nothing helps and its leaving me unable to function. I'm sure others are having the same problem and we all need to complain about it-but whats more maybe we can share some tips and try to figure out a cure together.
On a side note I read something interesting last night. I've been doing a little reading on parasitology and last night came upon a section discussing the likness of a fetus to a parasite- I know that doesn't sound nice and we all love our babies to be, but it was saying that the fetus actually produces chemicals to ward off immune system attack from the mother similar to how a parasite would and of course as we know it (he/she) feeds soley off us. But the interesting part was that they'd figured out that given free reign a fetus would grow at an exceptional rate draining the mothers body and even leaving her unable to reproduce subsequent children. As a result the mothers body has its own means of slowing the growth down- but where do you think this superman (or woman) growth urge cmes from? It comes from the fathers DNA! So when you're sick you can rightly say that its your partners fault
