thanks, girls, for your replies, kind words always help.
jackrose, thanks for the suggestions, i will try the pressure points and I've seen the bands at the pharmacy but didn't realise they could be used during pregnancy. I am lucky, my DS is already a school boy (turning 6 on Wed!) and it is so much easier with him being a little more independent. I can't imagine what I would have done with a little toddler running around and being this sick . So I really sympathise with everyone who is expecting and have kids under 5.

my DH just phoned and said he would pick up DS from school, leave work a bit early because he finished a project today. So I can lie down for a bit. I work from home which is also such a great help because I can allow myself to slack off a bit.

I feel so guilty for whining so much but can't help it, just feeling sooooo yuucckk..
