Advantages: no advantages to being sick but hopefully a healthy baby at the end of it all

Disadvantages: feel lousy, tired, drained

When I first fell pregnant I was expecting to suffer with severe morning physical sickness as both my mum and grandma were very sick throughout their pregnancies. I expected to get it just in the morning and that it meant throwing up all the time.

However, I soon began to understand what it was all about. It was not just something that you got in the morning and would go come the afternoon and it did not mean that you were just physically sick. I have been pregnant twice and within the first 13 -14 weeks I suffered with morning sickness though was never physically sick thankfully. I would wake up with a funny taste in my mouth, not feel like eating and the smell of food and drink would make my stomach churn. I was working one morning and the guys brought bacon butties into the office - I turned green. The sickness feeling was just there and it was only time that would cause it to go away. Sometimes you feel as if you are going to be sick and I guess it's all the hormones causing this. After about 14 weeks the sickness feeling went away and I was able to enjoy the rest of my pregnancies.

People say advised me that ginger biscuits would help but I never thought it did. I found mints were great whilst you were eating them but when you finished I felt sick again. I found that I was feeling exceptionally nauseous first thing in the morning and early evening. As such I found myself in bed straight after dinner. Maybe tiredness is another factor in morning sickness.

Morning sickness aside bringing a child in to the world is such an amazing thing that feeling sick for 13 weeks is manageable.

Summary: You don't have to be physically sick to suffer with morning sickness
