How is everyone doing?

My Mum and Nan never experienced any morning sickness, and neither did any of my aunts. I'm also the first of all my friends to fall pregnant, so I've had no idea what to expect as far as morning sickness is concerned. So, what I was wondering is: what has everyone's experiences of morning sickness been? When do/did you usually get it, did any foods trigger it, etc?

What I've been surprised about is that my morning sickness just seems to completely creep up on me. I'll be feeling fine, then I'll eat something (or even think about a certain food), and then I start feeling a bit 'odd' - not sick exactly, just a bit off. Then my mouth starts filling with saliva, and then I know I better find the nearest basin or toilet! So far, what has triggered my morning sickness has been coldish wholemeal toast, a bruised bit of mandarin and pureed apple. I also find, if I think too much about my previous 'episodes', that can trigger or help along my morning sickness. Also, I only started getting morning sickness that lead to vomitting around 9 and a half/10 weeks, and I'd always heard it usually occurred earlier than this.


What have your experiences been?
