Hi Matthew,

First babies are scarey things, (trust me I'm a midwife). If it makes her feel better tell her that in most cases the "morning sickness" (bad term... can hit any time) is worst during the first 12 weeks then usually gets better.

it is made worse by low blood sugar, but if you feel sick you don't want to eat hence low blood sugar and worse symptoms. If you can... persuade her to eat, (I found peanut butter sandwiches worked very quickly, as did "Frosties" (Cornflakes with sugar already on them)).... failing that try sucking on glucose sweets.

Like I said, I work as a midwife, so if I can be of any help, let me know.
