I never had much morning sickness, but there is a silver lining here. (And I am not sure if this is totally accurate) But, supposedly the sicker the mom is with morning sickness, the less likely she is to miscarry. Something about the hormones being very strong... One thing to consider, she only has about 28 weeks of sickness left!

Nick, I echo all the previous suggestions with a little extra info. If she eats crackers they don't have to be saltine, they can be graham. The thing is to have something that will "stay down". If she drinks something make sure it is a cold as possible or as hot as she can stand. Ice cold ginger ale or 7-Up works best. Hot boullion soup or hot ginger tea. And she should nibble - not cram - these things until some of it stays down. If it comes up, start over. My doctor was one of the leading pregnancy specialists in the country, and these were his instructions when I was so ill.

I also have a friend who swears by the Preggie Pops. Like Spy said, you can by them in most baby stores (such as Babies'R Us), or you can order them online HERE. This website also offers more information on morning sickness} I didn't know of the Preggie Pops when I was pregnant, but I sucked on Life Savers and other kinds of sugar free candy. And, uh, saltines made me feel worse Basically, we're all different and hopefully she'll find something that will work for her.

Thanks, again evvybuddy. Most of what you's guys have suggested...my wife was already doing. Preggo pops are a new one and not sure if she will try those. I had hoped there was something out there that maybe I hadn't heard about, so I could dazzle her with my brilliance and maybe she could feel better. Funny thing is...What do they call it when the husband has sympathy cravings? Since we found out she was pregnant....I've been craving Guacamole dip like crazy and can sit around eating it when I'm not even hungry. In fact, some nights all I want for dinner is chips and guacamole dip.

LOL I'm not sure what they call it Nick, but my youngest son gained noticible weight during his wife's first pregnancy and it all went away "poof" when the baby was born! Looked it up -->Check this article out It's not unusual for men to gain weight, experience headaches and insomnia during their partners' pregnancies. "A lot of that is attributed to the fact we go and eat and she eats to what the baby craves – whether he wants Mexican food or steak and lobster," Lance Hardcastle says. "She typically does not finish it and I end up eating it." What Is Couvade Syndrome? Experts say expectant fathers with full-blown Couvade syndrome, a phenomenon where men experience physical symptoms and pains associated with the pregnancy, show symptoms that go beyond simply gaining a few pounds from eating leftovers. The word is derived from the French word "couver" or "to hatch." I've never heard that name used. It was always referred to as sympathy symptoms.

Kiersten--were you able to help rachel in the chat room. My computer finally died, and when it came up, I was able to get on TVCH. I had been unable to get on for two hours. I was panicked. And is that little picture the girl from Lost?

LOL Mama, i know how you feel. Yes I helped her out, I sent her the link to here for the url's and the url also. I had to explain to her several times that once bb starts she will be able to utilize the quad cams. Then i asked her to help me out with seeing if she would help me out in seeing if she knew who these actresses are, and she wrote something like why do you want me to do that. So i logged off, i couldn't believe i helped her, sent her email with links explained to her several times the same question she asked, and then she didn't help me. Pisses me off, oh well. At least i helped her, and that made me feel good. I thought it was evangeline lilly too, but i showed it to a couple of people and they say no way it doesn't look like her, so now i really need people's help. LOL Oh Mama, glad you got back online with TVCH.

Wish I could help you Kiersten. The little one definitely is NOT Evangeline - the blonde looks familiar but I just can't come up with a name. Too bad there is no way to search with a picture?

I need some advice. While in another thread I realized ya'll could help me out. Travis and I are going to San Diego in April of next year. I've been looking at hotels but with no idea where anything is I'm lost. I would like something near the ship and beach that is safe and clean, but I don't want to spend a fortune. I'm hoping I can luck out and get into the Navy Lodge but with a ship deployment at that time, I'm sure there will be thousands of others hoping to do the same.

Kiersten, the blonde did a show with the first guy you had posted called the Mutant X. She was the Feril cat, You might find her by looking up MUTANT X and you will find here there. I think the other girl might have been on that show too, not sure if I am remembering right, but I think she was too.

I think you mean Victoria Pratt and I think you're right! I've been trying to find a picture of her where she looks like the one in the photo, but often she doesn't. This one shows the face. I do think you're right. http://www.beyondhollywood.com/gallery/sunday-bliss-victoria-pratt/

Native, if you don't generate any responses here you might try starting a thread about San Diego in the Travel Central folder. Lol, of curse, you might also have to be prepared for some people to want to join you there

Native, i have been to San Diego and it is a lovely place and very safe downtown. I don't know where to tell you to stay. But, if you go to Yahoo Maps and input San Diego, you can populate the map with hotels.

Native when we travel to areas we are not familiar with we go to AAA and get a travel book on that state. It is a pretty thick book with most towns in it and each has maps and hotels with ratings in it as well as general price information. We usually do pretty well.

Native, there are also numerous travel forums out there with people on them who love to give advice. I would suggest: tripadvisor.com and then look for the forums Fodors.com and look for U.S. forums And here's a friendly board: http://p104.ezboard.com/feuropetogofrm12 Don't know if you have to register to post, or if you already have an ez-board account, you can log in with that. Just start a new thread, Need Help With San Diego Hotels. The folks on all three boards have been everywhere and know everything.

Just an update: My wife bought her some of those motion sickness wristbands the other day...to give them a try and she says they are helping. So thanks for that bit of information. Also, she's going to try to find some Preggo Pops.

Does anyone happen to know where I could find the shortcuts around automated voice systems? UPS is giving us the run around on a package, which they said was to be delivered last Friday and it's still not here. Called the 800 number and was told by AUTOMATION,"the shipper had maybe not shipped it yet"? WTH? The shipper had sent us the tracking number which said, it was shipped and was to be here 7/7/06. *bangs head on monitor*
