Any tips/tricks for hiding morning sickness?? I really don't want to tell people at work before our family and friends!

    See I'd rather avoid that. I don't feel like it is THAT bad and I'm not the type to take meds even when I'm not prego. I usually just deal.

    If you're actually puking, then get the meds. There is no reason to suffer unnecessarily.
    This.  I respect your decision not to take meds, but it is not for me.  Modern medicine is a wonderful thing :)

    This was actually my biggest fear with being pregnant. Luckily (knock on wood) so far, I haven't been sick. There is a vacant partner office across from me where I plan on purchasing an "emergency kit" of mouthwash, thick trash bags, room sanitizing spray, and wipes. It's not a fool-proof plan, but it's what I could come up with. I think if I had it bad though, I'd probably talk to my doc about meds.

    Ginger Ale works for me. I bring 2 cans with me each day and slowly sip them all day long. It helps, though I still feel nauseated 90% of the time.

    Thanks! I'll try the ginger ale. I also just read about ginger altoids so I'm going to see if I can find those. If it gets worse I'll see the doc but I don't think I'm to that point yet.

    I have a little stash of tiny trash bags at my desk. That way, I don't have to run to the bathroom (which is far away, not to mention a dead give away), and I can dispose of it discretely and not have to sit here smelling breakfast in my trash can at my desk.

    Tuesday was my first day on unisom/B6 - it helped some (otherwise I wouldn't be able to make it through work), but I'm still pretty miserable. About to ask my OB to call in something stronger for me!

    Try peppermint oils. Or peppermint flavored anything.

    Totally just spewed in the trash can at work, but everyone already knows, and they are awesome and making sure I am ok, and getting plenty of water.

    My doctor recommended vitamin b6 100 mg 4 times a day

    I ate a saltines cracker before sitting up in bed each morning, took a long shower, and ate saltines en route to work. To be honest, I ate them all day and then had a grilled cheese sandwich for a majority of lunches because of my aversion to meat at the time. My "morning" sickness was it's worst at night unless I had an actual meal for dinner.

    I also switched to chewable prenatal vitamins because I didn't need the amount of Iron in the Enfamil prenatals I started with.

    After all that, I ended up only telling my two managers the same day I told my mother because I called in sick a couple days and work at front desk. I have an honest relationship with them and would want them to know if something were seriously wrong with me or baby. They still haven't told anyone else, which I appreciate.
