Eggs are my friend. Especially hard-boiled eggs. Also
good are egg sandwiches on English muffins with a little
cheese. The eggs inside these (made by a campus eatery)
are sort of like little omelets. Straight omelets (without
the muffin), I can't take, though.

Also, little cups of fruit (like those peach bits) in
light syrup.

Milk -- steamed milk, sometimes just cold milk, chocolate
milk.

V8 juice.

Cheese, with or without crackers.

Cream cheese on tortillas.

Apple slices with cheese.

Breakfast cereal with slices of banana or strawberries.

Sparkling mineral water with a little lemon juice or
grape juice in it.

Vanilla icecream with a berry topping.

Vegetarian burritos (another campus eatery).

Sometimes, DH likes to play a game where he names various
kinds of foods, and watches my reactions. Sometimes I
have to tell him to stop! Other times he comes up with
something that really sounds good...

DD would scrub 10 pounds of potatoes and we'd bake them all at once. Then my
snacks would be a small baked potato and half a chicken sausage (precooked,
heated in microwave to steaming), with a little olive oil and salt. Other
things that sat well... Thom Ka Gai, go figure. Most sour things. Spicy
foods were actually *better* than sweet foods for me--cereal made me toss my
cookies every time, and don't even get me started on cookies!

Burritos actually worked for me--but we can get wonderful burritos here--$4
will buy a chicken/bean/rice/salsa/guac burrito at almost any burrito shop
around here, and they're all tasty.

I had a mayo craving. Go figure. Canned salmon was wonderful with mayo *IF*
it had dill pickle relish in it, otherwise I couldn't choke it down. Had to
be full fat real mayo, too, not the "lite" stuff.

What else... Keep in mind I don't do dairy or peanut....
Thai Kitchen instant lemongrass chicken noodle soup (like ramen, only not so
nasty) with both flavor packets and I'd drop an egg in it while it boiled.

Macaroni and cheese-like-substance-that-contains-no-dairy
Fake cheese toast.

Toad in the hole. (cut a hole out of the middle of bread. Heat a little oil
in a pan. Drop the bread in, hole next to it, and crack an egg and drop it
in the hole. Cook until done, flipping once. I like the yolk runny.)

Scrambled eggs were an ideal "first food of the morning" and my daughter
made them for me almost every day this summer--eaten before I got out of
bed, they radically reduced my queasies.

Almonds made a good snack.

I tried to eat something small every 1.5-2 hours, whether I was hungry yet
or not. Interestingly, I gained most of my weight prior to 30 weeks--but
little since then, though I certainly still pack in the calories. But
compared to my pg with my dd, where I gained most in the last trimester, the
first trimester was MUCH easier this time.

We've tried everytjhing....and Nika my wife, gets all day sickness not just
morning sickness. Mostly evening though. We just say it must be the hormones
and cant do anything. I booked us on a cruise long before we found out about
our little 'pinky' (it changes each week to reflect its growth!!!), so i
hope shes better by then.

Watermelon really worked for me. Of course, I craved pizza and Mexican
food between 7 and 10 weeks, so I'm weird.

For the OP, you just gotta figure out
what works for YOU. The standard
advice is crackers, sip ginger ale,
don't get too hungry.

For me personally, it was to avoid
crackers like the plague, only drink
dark, bitter tea, never drink plain
water (to nauseating), and just don't
eat too much. Then it changed over
the course of the first trimester
to only drinking Coke, avoid chocolate
like the plague, whatever... You have
to find out what works for you.

This is so true - spicy is best for me. Chips and salsa . . . lots of
salsa.

I wanted spicy dill pickles, but couldn't find any. I was into mayo,
too.

LOL! I went through probably hundreds of Thai Kitchen instant soups,
also with the egg drop trick. I'd chop up some bok choy, sui choy, or
just lettuce to throw in, too, to make it more nutritious.

I went through loads of greek salad, with pasteurized, firm feta.
Sometimes I'd just slice an avocado and a tomato, and eat them with
salt, pepper, and a bit of olive oil.

Fruit leather, although that's mostly been after the first trimester.

Japanese rice and seaweed crackers.

My grandmother eats almonds with apricots, and I found this an
excellent afternoon snack in the 1st trimester.

I definitely followed my cravings but in terms of nausea...a lot of
toast and crackers.

Augh. Crackers made me hurl. Ginger ale made me cramp. The only part that
helped was "don't get too hungry."

JenRose,
I'm sorry, dear, but that isn't "Toad in the Hole". A "Toad in the Hole" is
a concoction of onions and sausages that have been fried in a pan and then
you pour batter over the top and cook the whole thing up in the oven. It's
very British. http://www.deliaonline.com/recipes/r_0000001030.asp

What you are cooking is referred to by many as "Egg in a Basket." At my
house, we call them "One Eyed Jacks" Either way, yummy!

We call them, originally, Egg in the Hole lol. My mum makes Toad in the
Hole at Christmas (we are not at all British, I don't know where the
tradition came from). No onions in ours though, it's sausage basically
baked in a pancake batter. Cut in squares and served with maple syrup.
I'm not very crazy for it personally.

I liked apples with peanut butter on them. Salty things -- I had a big
thing for proscuitto and melon but if you are listeria-wary that won't
work for you. And also dairy products (cottage cheese, yogurt, just
milk, ice cream).

OK I must have missed something. Didn't you m/c recently? Or is my
placenta brain kicking in and was everything OK in the end? Anywho, I'm
thrilled to see you're preggers! Even if it is the second time I say this.

As for snacks: I ate what I craved, and that seemed to work pretty well. I
really craved sour things, like buttermilk. In general, protein rich food
will keep your bloodsugar levels more stable, which will help with the
nausea. It get's worse when your levels drop. So make sure you eat a lot
of tiny snacks, and combine carbs with protein in each one.

For the really serious spells, I would first drink something before
eating. Some broth or herbal tea (warm things are highly preferable). For
some reason grapefruit juice worked for me, especially in the morning.

HTH!

Chicken sausage (from Trader Joe's) is pretty low-fat. Not your standard
25-grams-of-saturated-fat brat.

The olive oil has never bothered me.

My ms hit bad this week, all my fave foods taste funny. As well as that I am
hungry all the time! Have been eating mars bars for a sugar boost!
Also I can't change stinky nappies anymore... it makes me want to barf!

Andrea (UK) Also due October 14th!

same with me. fat is a no-no for my tummy at the mo. i *love* cheese, but
even 50% lite cheese is making me queasy. so sad! and skim milk! there's
hardly any fat in there, but my tummy is finding it.
i get 97% fat free bacon which is pretty good at the moment.

pizza! of course. that's perfect. i make a nice low-fat homemade pizza (fat
is making me queasy). i can put cherry tomatoes & olives. mmmm... perfect!

i'm 7 weeks at the moment. m/s lasted to 13 weeks with DS, but hopefully
this will stop sooner as it started sooner. how's that for silly logic?

DS has serious multiple food allergies & i breastfeed him & the allergens
cross into the breastmilk, so alot of what i am craving is out. and alot of
what is safe for him is making me queasy (like apples!). so as i am pretty
brainless at the moment, that's why asking for suggestions. funnily enough
crackers certainly don't appeal at the moment. i think i'm after
smooth/sloppy food. LOL!

i just tried some yoghurt a little while ago & it stopped the nausea
completely. i don't know if it was a coincidence, but i'm stocking up!

yes i did m/c in january. we weren't trying, but i fell pregnant the 1st
cycle after the m/c. my thoughts are it was meant to be. the morning
sickness is pretty bad, so i have fingers crossed that that means all is
going as it should. i'm 7 weeks. i didn't announce it in mkp and i haven't
been posting all that much so i'm surprised you missed it. i'm following
your progress, though. you are going wonderfully!

that's a good idea. your right about the protien. i do feel better when i
have it. i am breastfeeding DS, so i think i am underestimating the amount
of food i am needing!

geez amanda, does this make it about the 215th time you have congratulated
me? LOL. i think you should talk to that hubby of yours. that house across
the road is still vacant. and there is a really cute one with amazing water
views that's just gone up for sale further down the road......

excellent work at ww! i knew you could do it.
as you can imagine the prob i have with food is DS's allergies. i am craving
lots of his allergens and i can't stand alot of his safe food (apples are
the worst). but i've found yoghurt & avo which are doing something for me at
the moment.
and i also need to eat heaps i guess because of DS bf. he's only 1,
sometimes 2 times a day, but there still must be plenty of milk as i am
having to eat heaps. i lost 2kg by the time i was 5 weeks & i am trying to
eat alot to keep it level. puzzling!

Really? Here, French Toast is just bread that has been dipped in egg and
then fried, not fried with an egg in the middle of it. Interesting!

That's wonderful!! Sometimes nature follows weird paths. Being so sick is
definitely a good sign. Loads of sticky vibes coming your way *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
When do you go for a first check-up or u/s?

Yeah, Amanda can be very enthousiastic about such things... ;-) She has
some experience in getting preggers right after a m/c, so I can't blame
her. I'm still excited as well!

a little town nowhere near the metro area, so i'll have to see if the 2 that
*may* service my area are free near my due date. have just been feeling to
sick, to call anyone. LOL! but i suppose i better get moving.

No kidding -- the sooner you call the more likely they are to
have time for you!

did i mention that i said to DH that if i'm having a boy, i want a #3. DH
said he's positive it's a girl. LOL. but he'll be guessing a long time. i'm
not having an ultrasound (unless we have a medical prob).

I for one am glad to hear you're so sick. But I agree with Emily: call
them asap! Keep an empty bucket near the phone, just in case... ;-)

I would love a homebirth after my labour went so slow last time... not sure
I could handle the other 5 running about being noisy though!
My midwife comes out next week, and my 1st US should be in 4 weeks time.

I am sick as a dog... have bought some sea bands for travel sickness which
are helping.
Also sipping coke in the morning helps.
