I kept a tub of cream crackers at my desk and sipped ginger tea all day. It didn't cure it, but stopped the vomiting.
Medical Relief30% moms chose this path
Getting prescription anti-nausea medication from your doctor to function during the day.

My gynae prescribed Diclectin when I couldn't even stomach water. Made me super sleepy at work, but at least I stopped throwing up.
Routine Adjustment15% moms chose this path
Shifting work hours, taking medical leave, and delegating household chores to survive.

Expert guidance

Morning sickness is common in the first trimester, but severe nausea can cause dehydration and weight loss. Gleneagles Hospital recommends eating small, frequent meals and trying ginger, while severe cases may require prescription anti-nausea medication. What matters most is staying hydrated and seeking medical help if you cannot keep fluids down for 24 hours.
