dealing with m/s at work

my m/s seems to get worse around lunch time and continues the rest of the day.  i'm struggling so hard at work.  all i want to do is go home and throw up in my own toilet.  i'm trying to feed my face since it's the only thing that seems to help it, but it's not helping enough.  anyone have any advice?  i really don't want to tell my work yet,  but i'm afraid i won't be able to hide it much longer.

    I went through the exact same thing.  I wanted to wait until the end of the first tri, but I was so miserable that I ended up telling them all at around 6-7 weeks.  It made life SO MUCH easier and they're all being so great about it.

    I'm actually having the same problem.  I give tours and meet with people face-to-face and have swallowed so much vomit that I could vomit at the thought of it.  I had to cut a tour short to run and throw up this morning, which isn't good for business and at the same time, it can't be good for me to be on my feet and talking & walking through the feeling that I could puke that morning's oatmeal all over my clients.

    On the other hand, I cannot pass it off as m/s in fear that they would tell my employer.  But I don't want to tell my employer until after hte first u/s, at least.

    Try to eat smaller, more frequent meals. And try some ginger (the candied kind). That helped me a lot.

    Mints and lemon drops helped me.  I struggled through a meeting yesterday and the mint really helped.

    I am starting to get m/s too during my morning commute, I get that mouth watering warning and I have to take deep breaths and swallow, I heard that ginger candy helps and wanna get some so I can suck on it in the morning and not throw up on my work clothes.  Anyone know where to get some?

    My nausea kicked in around 7 weeks and (knock on wood) even though I haven't been throwing up - some days have been really really tough to get through. I confided in one co-worker who I knew I could trust and who I knew wouldn't say anything to any of my supervisors and she has been covering for me a little bit. When I have been feeling really nauseaous and people have made comments about me when I am not around - she just brushes them off and says "oh I heard that maybe there is just a stomach bug going around..." ....she does it really casually but it has kept most people at bay and allowed me to get through almost the last 10 weeks without having to annouce it yet...GL and I hope you feel better soon!!
