Alright I'm not sure if its just my weird body but I've been battling some serious nausea (I almost couldn't drive to work) and its come and go, but I notice the minute I start feeling even remotely better I start craving things... mostly things that would probably make me sick. I desperately want to eat lobster... rolls, scampi, soaked in butter... you name it. But I'm pretty sure seafood on a queasy stomach is a bad idea. I haven't caved yet, but I do wonder if I just give in if I might feel better. Just wondered if anyone else had a weird combo of nausea and out of place cravings. I mean generally when I feel sick I think of rice or a banana, but a turkey sub? Weird.
And thank goodness for Wendy's baked potato. Not only did it make the nausea go away but $1 for lunch that isn't too unhealthy... yup. I'm liking it!

I have actually found that sometimes, eating settles my stomach . . . But then right after I eat I get burpy and then the rolling tummy returns.
I know that I HAVE to have sweets and the taste/smell of ketchup makes me want to gag. DH seems to want to monitor my ice cream/milkshake/cheesecake intake . . . hehehe.
But then once I sit down to eat something that sounds good to me, I can only finish about half of it before I feel full. At least I'm not throwing up though!
I'm glad I'm not alone - the carbs definitely help but yeah... there is something about just those weird random foods that makes me crazy. Which is funny b/c if food commercials come on I have to look away.... the thought of a cheeseburger... EWH!
I do find fresh fruit is always good and I had a salad the other night that I kept adding more arugula to b/c it tasted good but in general I want the bad stuff. I think part of the reason the baked potato was so good b/c in the car it smelled like french fries. lol!
If your LO is liking potatoes, he/she might be friends with my Dexter! I love potatoes and was always able to feel good eating them.
I agree with you, seafood doesn't seem to sound great, but then again. when I felt bad, I just ate anyway and the nausea went away. I didn't get it as bad as you are getting it though. Hang in there, hun, this yucky feeling will *hopefully* be going away soon so that you can start feeling other things....extreme exhaustion!

OMG I all I want to do is eat and drink, but am constantly nauseated! It seems to get worse the later in the day. I lay down at night with a cold wash rag on my throat and a ginger ale on my night stand.
