Preggie Pop Drops?

So, this round the nausea has been more than unbearable. One day my diet consisted of lightly toasted bread and some strawberry jam. Worked for the day. . . but now the thought of crusty bread is enough to induce dry heaving. Another day it was some nice warm banana bread. . . another, just enough water to get me by. But I was getting tired of phone calls interrupted, stories books laid to the side, and meals left unprepared as I made a mad manic dash to the porcelain god demanding the guts out of me as a sacrifice for the life inside.

So I thought I would try the fabled Preggie Pop Drops from our local Motherhood Maternity. Delirium set, I was in heaven, the gnawing, grating grumbling dissipated, and the planet seemed to rotate on a steady axis for a whole 24 glorious hours. The next morning greeted me with sore mouth (seeing as I sucked the whole package in one day), but I could roll out of bed without feeling like I was in the high seas, searching for the bow of the boat to feed the fish their breakfast. However, like most fabled and too-good-to-be-true things of life, the effects have worn off. I must have over-done it the first day and now they aren't working at all. And alas the morning sickness (which is more like all-waking-hours-of-the-day-and-night-sickness) has returned with a pithy punch. Once again, my feeble knees fall in writhing obiesence to the Throne of Nausea.

ANY SUGGESETIONS?
