Michelle Granger Moose:  I hope someone is on the way!

Emily Beth Rusch: Well I'm in my car so I'm capable of getting home and haven't asked anyone to get me. I just get car sick super easy and it's a 20 min drive.

Michelle Granger Moose: Surely your husband knows

Emily Beth Rusch: He's at work. I could text him but it wouldn't make a difference. I can wait it out. It's just getting annoying to be so sensitive to nausea all the time.

Michelle Granger Moose: OK but he should know as well and I hope you feel better!

Camden Fordham Inman: ALMONDS!!! Are you carrying Almonds with you??

Emily Beth Rusch: Lol no... I can't even remember to take my purse with me lol. Just wait till I'm supposed to carry around a diaper bag...

Camden Fordham Inman: You should leave a bag in your car and then a bag at work and a bag anywhere else you are constantly at.  It'll help you!!

Michelle Granger Moose: Depend on your husband to help you now and in the future. You should not have to take this walk alone.

Emily Beth Rusch: I wish there was a prego lady safe at church...

Michelle Granger Moose: Keep peanut butter crackers with you it helps like lance crackers

Camden Fordham Inman: Lol. My mom says peppermint hard candy is great.

Emily Beth Rusch: He does but he is a GM and can't just leave work. He is amazing and does all he can for me when he can. If he didn't have this job we probably wouldn't be starting our family right now.

Michelle Granger Moose: Ok good to know!

Cheri Granger Felipe: I hope u feel better!

Chelsea Johnston: I hope those drugs kick in! Mine worked reallyyy great for the first few weeks, but I feel like my body is just immune to them now. lol one of my co-workers is pregnant too and she has been super super sick and swears by peppermints. She's literally always carrying a bag around with her. Anything that works! I hope you find something that helps for you.

Emily Beth Rusch: Mine still work but I don't have constant nausea any more... its more like I feel nauseas about 10 min before I throw up so I hardly even have enough time to recognize it and take the pill. And some things trigger it quicker and so I'm also just trying to avoid the triggers... Driving home at dinner time is a tough one because I don't want to eat and be full when I get home but I can't make it driving on an empty stomach.

Chelsea Johnston: yeah that is a tough one. Especially for that long of a drive. Maybe just snacking on something while driving? I know I can't do that, but maybe you can! Who knows! For some reason with me, the movement plus eating is just way too much. But if I have a snack before having to drive for awhile, that tends to help a little bit because obviously an empty stomach isn't a good thing.

Chelsea Johnston: And of course, there is the hope that once you hit your second trimester you'll magically feel better  because your hormones will start evening out  3 more days for me! So I guess 8 for you! Yay!!!

Emily Beth Rusch: How 3 for you? My 12 weeks is tomorrow... isn't that 3rd trimester time?

Emily Beth Rusch: shoot... I just googled it... ur right. I have to wait till the end of next week. LAME

Chelsea Johnston: i believe it's technically through the 12th week. So once you reach 13 weeks

Emily Beth Rusch: I was gonna post imaginary bump pictures too lol... well maybe they will be less imaginary if I wait another week

Emily Rusch: Boo!!!

Shauna Baang: Emily try sucking on a lemon or smelling peppermint I have heard that those help with the issue that you are having. Hope this helps and that you get to feeling better soon!

Kami Walker: I'm so sorry!

Martha Mooney Granger: hang in there!

Catherine Doerr: Dry Saltines!

Ginger Faulk: Try taking saltines to nibble on while driving home...won't fill you up but might help with the throwing up.

Chelsea Yancey: I didn't get nausea when I was pregnant, but then again I was only 8 weeks pregnant when I had my miscarriage in February. However with my very first pregnancy I had a little nausea, but peppermint candies helped me. I know you probably don't like hearing this, but maybe the nausea is a good thing. My doctor said that not having nausea can sometimes lead to a miscarriage. Maybe that's just with my condition. I don't want to put fear into you. If you ever need anything please let me know.

Emily Beth Rusch: Thanks Chelsea Yancey! That's very sweet of you. I think mine picked up most around 9 and is tapering off now at 12 which is probably how it sneaks up on me. My second doc appt is this Friday so hopefully everything is still normal and healthy.

Phyllis Pitts Rowberry: My situation was similar to Chelsea's, but I miscarried at 13 weeks. However, my SIL was really sick and she swore by cinnamon Jolly Ranchers! I guess it's whatever works for you. Hang in there!

Deborah Paulukaitis: Gala apples and dry toast with fat free cream cheese (I know--very specific) were my saves with my last child (even kept apples by my bed at night). My healthcare providers gave me the tip on the 'eat every hour' and AT LAST I thought I might just live through it. I made sure to never have an empty stomach. Sending {{{hugs}}}....
