PREGNANCY. NAUSEA & MORNING SICKNESS: THINGS THAT HELPED ME!
I was (I’m) lucky in my pregnancies to never suffer any of the common ailments of late pregnancy, to have had straightforward births and to have recovered relatively quickly postpartum.
However, morning sickness got me every single time, and it was a doozy. From about 5 or 6 weeks into the pregnancy to the 12 or 14-week mark, I felt what I can only describe (and believe me, I’ve TRIED several times to describe it to my husband to give him a sense of how it feels!) as a combination of motion sickness and a bad hangover.
