[quote=Anonymous]Unfortunately nothing is a total cure, and yes, "morning" sickness isn't limited to the morning at all.  It's really more like a hangover that never ends, without the alcohol.

I did get some relief by eating plenty of plain saltine crackers, and the "sea bands" are another common therapy that sometimes help.  The nausea is worse on an empty stomach, so it's also a good idea to try to eat a cracker or two before you get out of bed in the morning, and graze on light snacks throughout the day instead of just eating three big meals.

As for how long it lasts, that's different for everyone.  Mine went from 6 weeks to 23 weeks, but I'm having multiples so that can make it a lot worse.  My OB told me that 16 weeks is about the time it goes away for most people.  I think Zofran is typically just recommended for pregnancies where you can't keep food down (e.g. at one point I was throwing up 5-7 times a day) but you should definitely ask your doc.  I know it's miserable, but it really doesn't last forever![/quote]
