Morning sickness is something that most pregnant women suffer from. Before I became pregnant I was afraid of being sick and I thought that while being pregnant I would be able to stop myself from being sick. My method of stopping myself being sick was to get fresh air. However, I realized eventually, that this wouldn't work. Being sick was sometimes unstoppable.

What I found to be helpful was to eat something even though I knew that I would probably be sick afterwards. This is because it wasn't as bad being sick on a full stomach than it was to be sick on an empty stomach. Therefore I would advise women who are in their first trimester to make sure that they never have an empty stomach. Eat a little but frequently, for example every 2 hours. Hang on there, after the first 12 weeks the sickness usually disappears and you will enter the best part of the pregnancy which you should then enjoy.
