  1. I had a pleasnat pregnancy that way – no morning sickness and all i craved was for food – in any form. I have never eaten so much in my life! And now my son doesn’t want to eat!

  2. Tip for dealing with rhe the morning sickness. Ginger beer (non-alcoholic version) made with real ginger and flat lemonade. Keep them by your bed and sip it when you wake up in the morning. Also keep a packet of dry crackers to nibble on by your bed before you get up.

  3. What is the cause of Morning Sickness? Is it just the change in hormone levels that a woman experiences? And from a male perspective, what is the best way to be supportive (especially if I cannot stand the sight of ANYONE throwing up!)

    Thanks for sharing!
