[quote=Anonymous]Sour things helped take the edge off for me, although nothing fully took it away. I took Zofran on the days when I needed to function, but it made me so constipated, I only took it a few times when absolutely necessary.

Sour and salty things can be helpful to take the edge off.  I craved Sour Patch Kids and lemonade with my first. I also liked the Pink Stork Morning Wellness tea (on Amazon). During my last pregnancy, I subsisted on bagels, tortilla chips, and soft pretzels (I bought the frozen ones, and DH ran out to buy them hot from Sheetz many times) for a month.

Eating adequate protein does help a little—if you can find a kind that doesn’t repulse you! I found I could handle hard-boiled eggs, mild cheddar cheese, and chicken salad. Nothing warm because the smell was too strong.

Sleep as much as you can. Fresh air and sun, early in the day. The sun helped with my mood more than anything! It’s easy to feel hopeless when you aren’t sure how long this will last, but you will get through it![/quote]
