Thankyou all for your suggestions. I will look into all those things. Yes, its truly awful but Im lucky that Im getting some relief during the morning. When pg with DS2 I had no relief whatsoever during the day or night, so this time its a bit easier, probably more like my first pg, but still pretty hard as well. I hope these suggestions will allow me to feel better all day so I can actually start mothering my boys again!

As I suspected, I am probably more dehydrated than I thought. I guess (TMI again) the thick coffee coloured urine should have been a give away. But hey, at least I can drink some water in this pg, so I wasnt so concerned.

LilyDust - I think it probably borders on HG, but there are so many people that have it worse (especially you) that I cant bring myself to use the term, even though I am quite ill.
