    These are some tips I've found for morning sickness:

    *Eat small meals throughout the day so that you're never too full or too hungry.
    *Avoid rich, fatty foods.
    *Avoid foods with smells that bother you.
    *Eat more carbohydrates (plain baked potato, white rice, dry toast).
    *Eat saltine crackers and other bland foods when you feel nauseous.
    *Try gelatin desserts (Jell-O), flavored frozen desserts (popsicles), chicken broths, ginger ale (nondiet), sugared decaffeinated or herbal teas (be careful with teas though, some can be hazordous during pregnancy), and pretzels.
    *The iron in prenatal vitamins can bother some women. If you think your morning sickness is related to your vitamins, talk with your doctor and he or she may change your vitamins.
    *Wearing "acupressure" wrist bands, which are sometimes used by passengers on boats to prevent sea sickness, may help some women who have morning sickness. You can buy the bands at boating stores or travel agencies.

    I found this at http://familydoctor.org/154.xml . I hope it helps. I had severe morning (afternoon and night) sickness as well. Unfortunately I just had to let it pass. Lasted for about four months for me. I would strongly recommend you take your prenatals to make up for any nutrition lost and find one that doesn't taste yucky. I had one that tasted like sugar but I didn't find it until after all the morning sickness passed. Doctors are more than happy to provide you with many samples to find the one you like. Hang in there and good luck!
