Morning Noon and Night Sickness

Morning Noon and Night Sickness...

You may be shocked and dismayed to find out that your usual morning routine of cuddling and doing other stuff with your honey, has now been replaced with morning sickness.

Many women experience morning sickness during pregnancy, though the name is misleading because it can strike at any time of the day. It's due to all the pregnancy hormones bubbling up in her body and there really isn't much you can do to help--although offering to clean up the mess and giving sensitive back rubs are much appreciated and will get you serious cool points.

Oh and don't bother asking for your morning "medicine," at this time, there's little chance of that happening. Don't take it personally. But good and supportive behavior may get you a coupon to redeem later.

Of course, there are also women who sail through the forty weeks with nary a queasy morning or hyper gag reflex--go figure! Just goes to prove that every pregnancy is unique.
