Morning Sickness
Being woken by some noises can be quite nice. Rain, bird song, room service delivering your luxury breakfast. Your wife being sick isn’t one of them.
At around week 6 Fiona started to suffer from morning sickness. Every morning we would get up and go downstairs for breakfast (and cartoons). About 20 minutes later Fiona would be upstairs vomiting. Not fun especially when the nausea last most of the day. Morning sickness apparently is just a name not a factual description. There is lots of stuff on the Internet about morning sickness and how to beat it. Here is what worked for us.
It seems that Fiona’s morning sickness was due to a drop in blood sugar. We started out with me bringing up a cup of tea and a dry cracker each morning and breakfast in bed. During the day Fiona would snack, snack and snack. Ginger biscuits were her thing. This eventually progressed into us waking up half an hour early, Readybrek and tea in the mornings, bacon sandwiches and muffins during the day.
So I don’t claim to have the cure for morning sickness. I can however offer the following advice that may or may not work.
- Expand your morning routine.
- Try dry buscuits, crackers or something bland before you get out of bed.
- Boiled sweets are ideal for the car and fresh air.
- Snack during the day, ginger biscuits seem to work well.
- Don’t eat late at night and get plenty of rest.
Good luck.

Hello Ham m8, glad to see this site works very good
Also good to hear you’re both alright. The way you wrote that last entry “Storm before the calm before the storm” I think it was, I was really sad for a bit, thought your little guy/girl wasn’t ok :/ - Good to hear he/she is alright
Hope to get to read more of your entrys

Can i just say at this point - Fiona deserves a medal for having your child in the first place
Apart from that obvious statement it is going to be very interesting following your progress and seeing how “Dad-Hood” fits into the lifestyle of such an upwardly mobile super-dude as yourself. Have to admit, the bits already up here are fascinating so keep up the good work !!!!
Nice for a change to give a BIG LOVE to the Ham from the DI (instead of the other way around).
Stay safe and look forward to reading the rest.
Medius.

[…] As mentioned before, we countered morning sickness with a change in breakfast routine, dry biscuits, boiled sweets and not eating too late. More info here. […]
