Seeing as a lot of us are suffering from morning sickness I thought it'd be funny and maybe even helpful to other expectant mums to write out a typical day of food and drink that helps.

My morning sickness is lots better now, as a couple of weeks ago I was finding it hard to keep food down. I still have problems with food with flavours, so tend to eat bland foods for now.

This is what I have found that controls my sickness for the most part:


Morning: Ginger biscuits/peppermint tea
Afternoon: plain rice or boiled potatoes
Evening: some sort of creamed soup

Drinks: Ribena, Innocent smoothies (godsend!)
Snacks: Calippo Ice lollies (but the wagon load!), dry crackers, rich tea biscuits or plain hula hoops.

It's boring and bland, but it works!

Thanks for this. It is helpful. I'm pretty much on the same bland food at the moment. I find the plain hula hoops work the best!!

If I open my fridge I gag. lol. Any sort of complex flavours, even flavoured crisps make me feel ill.

Still, it's not as bad as some people seem to have it!

I find the plain hula hoops great too

I'm able to eat pretty much anything I want now EXCEPT peanut butter. I had a bad peanut butter episode last night. There is NO keeping that stuff down.

I'm living off ice-lollies and smoothies at the moment. Nothing solid, not even plain/bland foods are staying down. Even dry toast is a no-no.

I have learnt as long as i eat as soon as i wake up my sickness is not to bad ! Im having to eat every hour or so to stop me being sick but i can pretty much eat anything especially sweet things !!!

have not been sick yet! eating everything and anything in the house x_x i fear i have gained a pound or two this past week

I have only suffered a small amount of nausea i haven't been sick yet. My appetite has decreased dramatically though.

My appetite has gone through the roof to

I wouldn't be sad at not having this morning sickness, today mine was horrible, I nearly threw up on my client when giving an aromatherapy massage. I'm finding it horrid atm to not throw up. I think what it is is that I'm not eating cos I feel sick, and it's making me worse not eating?

I'll have to find some ginger biscuits.
