Take a teaspoon each of fresh mint juice, lemon juice, and a tablespoon of honey thrice daily. Half a teaspoon of cumin seed powder mixed with a teaspoon of honey before food helps to fight nausea. More instant remedies and info at http://usefulinfomorningsickness.blogspot.com/

I had ginger in my pregnancy vitamins to combat nausea, it really helped. It's been proven to help travel sickness as well. I'm not sure how much you can or can't take in pregnancy so if I were you I'd go for the pregnancy vitamins (Boots own, Mum-to-be vitamins) or talk to someone in the chemist or health food shop.

The smell of lemon or even a lemon drop will help. Sounds crazy but it really works!

WOW! I’m eight weeks also…Congrats…I have been experiencing really bad nausea for the past two weeks but it seems like I have had it forever. I totally understand how you feel. What has been working for me lately is making sure I eat something before I get out of bed even if that means only a couple of Ritz crackers…trust me it makes a difference. I live in a warm weather so during the day I have frozen fruit bars or popsicles and they really help for nausea and vomiting they make me feel great especially if they are the real fruit frozen bars. Good Luck.

I’ll be 8 weeks tomorrow and I feel your pain! I have to lay down most of the day while I let it pass. And then sometimes laying down makes it worse! *sheesh* What I’ve been doing is when I feel nauseous is eat apple sauce. I don’t know why, but it is working for me. It seems that if I can find something to eat, that doesn’t turn my stomach, the less nauseous I feel. So it’s hard. I can’t stand much of anything right now except cereal and apple sauce.

i have been swearing by gingerale and crackers. Im 8 weeks too and i feel awful alot of the time. avoid smells that may trigger your gag reflex, take your time getting out of bed..suck on some hard candy or eat some crackers before even getting out of bed in the morning. gingerale really does the trick for me though and its caffeine free!!!

I was going to say the sickness bands but I see you are already using them!
They helped me. I still felt sick with them on, but could function.

Ginger didn’t work for me one bit, in any form.

Ice lollies settled my stomach a bit and very cold fruit juice.

I am 10 weeks and think it is starting to ease so hopefully not too long for you now, although weeks 8-9 were the worst for me.

I found that crunching on crushed ice cubes and snaking on Farley's rusks helped me. (My midwife advised the rusks as they are full of goodness)!
