While the Sea Bands are helpful, they too have limits. The morning sickness reached new levels overnight. For example, I can no longer ride in a car or walk down a staircase without... well... you know. Empty plastic bags are my new favorite accessory.
The doctor called me in a prescription for a powerful anti-nausea medication to be taken every 8 hours that has the added benefit of sleepiness, and she also recommended an OTC medication to be taken twice daily. Since I've already lost an unhealthy amount of weight and I'm having trouble keeping down the proper nutrition, she asked me to spend time off my feet and to increase my caloric intake as much as I can stand.
I've been reminded by Pete and close friends that the majority of women get sick during pregnancy, it isn't forever, and morning sickness is strongly correlated with healthy babies and successful full-term pregnancies.
