I say this because on the days where I can keep nothing down, when so much as looking as an apple is a enough to make me toss my cookies, ( see what I did there?) the bourbon never lets me down.
It's peculiar sweet/salty/chocolate/not chocolate flavour comforts my troublesome tummy and takes away the constant headache. It's the only thing I can eat after the morning vomit sesh- which means that my breakfast usually consists of three bourbons and half a mug of milky tea. It's what I need when I get in from work and whenever I have spewed late at night I have never seen a crumb of bourbon in my loo.
It seems that there's inexplicable magical ingredient , which has been effective at easing the nagging nausea than peppermint tea, (now makes me sick) ginger in any form, (vom) celery, (a suggestion by my mother--bleugh)
I think that this is a briliant testament to the fact that every pregnancy is different; that what works for one woman, makes another feel utterly vile; that sometimes the most important thing for you and your baby is how you feel.
If you're feeling rotten, it can really get you down and that can be damaging for both of you. Take it from me, don't follow the diet advice to the letter. By all means try and eat a well balanced diet but if, for a couple of weeks, all you can eat is dairylea on toast- go for it. Don't let magazines an 'the latest study' make you feel bad. Only you know how you feel and you're doing your best. I know I am.
