How do you work while having morning sickness?

Hi everyone,
Im new to the site. Im a 26 yr old single mom with a 8 yr old girl.
I have been dating my bf for about 2 yrs, I just found out im pregnant Dec. 29th.
Every thing seems to be going good, Ive got a good job making good money and finally moved out on my own. But Im really worried I will suffer severe morning sickness like i did with my first child. I didnt work while i was that sick and i know I wouldnt be able to now if it happened.
How do any of you deal with morning sickness?

i was forced to quit working with both of my pregnancies b/c of how sick i was. hopefully you have an easier time this time around though. good luck!

Iknow how you feel i work a full time job too and it so hard. I just told my boss what was happening and he understood alittle(as much as a man could). i just made sure that when i was ok i did as much as i could and when i was sick well i was in the bathroom.. I had such bad morning sickness and i still do. but there is nothing you can really do

Nothing would make my sickness go away or even help. I basically just had to force myself to go in everyday, even though I felt like roadkill. Luckily, I work in an office and am by myself most the day, so at least I didn't have any witnesses to my misery. I definitely fell behind in my work though.

Let me tell you...I have severe morning sickness...still after all of this time. I work a full time job at an elementary school and a part time job as a manager of Wendy's. I have found it difficult, but manageable. I throw up the most in the morning and just after lunch, so that is when I take my breaks at work. I work with a special needs student in the mornings, so I keep a garbage can near by...I know...gross...but it works.

The doctor gave me some meds for my sickness, but they haven't really worked. Try those Preggie Pops from Babies'R'Us. They have helped me!

i hope i dont get morning sickness, havent got it yet. Im soppuse to graduate in dec 08 and dont want to mess up my chances to do so. I heard that if you do get the sickness to eat little quantity of food several times aday.

I was sooo sick for 3 months I think I got sick like 20 times a day. If you don't get it bad good for you. I couldn't work.

try pedialite for kids it worked wonders on me and you can drink that through out the day or try ginger ale and ginger snaps

I found ginger ale worked for me. I just made sure I always had some (and my students used to laugh that I was addicted to the stuff - they didn't know I was pregnant and trying not to puke). Otherwise, I just survived it. I thought I had it pretty bad because I was nauseaus all day long, every day until I was about 14 weeks. But it seems there are some women on here who had it worse, so I don't know if the ginger ale would help you if you had it really bad before....I hope you don't get it!

Thanks for all the replys ladie's. I found out im about 5 wks. So far I feel fine, no morning sickness yet. Just hungry and tired alot.
I'm a little nervous about the 6wk coming up. I heard thats when morning sickness usually kicks in.
Ill try the ginger ale and crackers with alot of prayer too!

I really hope you have an understanding boss and coworkers. I am a retail supervisor and for 4 straight months I woke up and just jaulted to the bathroom... and anytime I ate it just came right back up. That was the quickest weight I've ever lost but boy I gained it back. People all told me to drink clear sodas and eat crackers and bland foods but that never worked too well for me.
I know this is bad but I had to drink red bull some days because I had zero energy. I find it so weird that I never threw that up.
I still get sick every once in a while. That first trimester was like death though I never took a day off work.
I hope you are a lucky one who doesn't get sick at all.  

I didnt have to work, but I had classes when I was prego (including microbiology where we stared at nasty STD pics for 3hours a day!!...lol) Anyway, I sucked on sour candy...really sour jolly ranchers it help me. The sour is suppose to numb the gag reflex.
Good Luck!
