Talk to her Dr first. Understand crackers before she gets up might help. Tea instead of coffee--decaf tea. Ginger Ale, not the diet.

I suffered horrible morning sickness with all for 4 of my pregnancies, lasted all day the first 18 weeks every time. Way beyond a touch of annoying nausea, I threw up 8-10 times a day, resulting in migraine headaches. Horrible. When people would tell me "eat crackers" I wanted to kick them. It was frustrating and exhausting and unless a person has experienced it, they just don't "get it." The term morning sickness is completely inadequate to describe that feeling. I tried everything, crackers, B12, ginger, motion sickness wrist bands, frequent small meals (which I just threw up... I threw up water!). None of the "tricks" did a bit of good. Nothing, not a bit. Finally my Dr. believed me that I wasn't just "not handling it well," I was incapable of doing anything without throwing up. Then I was prescribed Phenergen with one pregnancy and Zofran with the others. Phenergen took the edge off, I was still a little queasy, but could function. Zofran was amazing, but it also made me a little drousy. Presciptions was the only way I could function for those months. They can be expensive, though, especially Zofran, and not all insurance will cover them both for morning sickness. I was lucky, mine did.

I suffered a lot with nausea during my two pregnancies. I ate a lot of carrots (raw) and drank a lot of ginger ale. I absolutely couldn't stand Chinese food.

With Drew DD found if she ate small items several times daily it helped during the day....she'd carry bananas and crackers and carrots and every couple hours eat something.
I second the package of saltine crackers beside the bed! Eat a few as soon as you wake up and before you get out of bed.

cream of wheat or pablem (baby cereal). the first trimester of my pregnancy, they were a cure-all. i still use CoW for a rough stomach.

With my 1st pregnancy,I think I woke up throwing up "the next morning"! lol The ONLY thing I found that settle my stomach was squeezing the juice of a lemon over crushed ice and sipping on it as the ice melted.

Even now, if I get sick I want lemonade or a Cherry Limeade (from Sonic)

I liked the smell of roses and lemon, although they didnt really help the dry heaves or vomiting. I just kept the things on hand that I could eat and avoided the meat isle at all costs.
Most of all I kept telling myself the outcome was my goal and that this sickness would end eventually. Omgoodness. It felt like the flu for about 8 months and that felt like forever.
I wish I knew the cure to help your dd. Hopefully it only lasts a few weeks.

Ginger. They make ginger candy and ginger pills as well as tea. A nurse practitioner told me a lot of her pregnant patients use ginger remedies when I asked her about something for my step-daughter's car sickness. But buy only a little of the candy if you go that route. We bought a couple of kinds and all thought it was pretty nasty. Ginger tea is another thing entirely. That's tasty :-)

I was going to suggest ginger tea or candied ginger, too.
Also, the Sea Bands for motion sickness may help. I got mine at Long's Pharmacy.
There is an over the counter product called Emetrol, which is cola based product. It works well for nausea but be sure to have her check with her doc.
I used to work for an OB doc and he told his patients to use
Unisom.
But make sure your DD lets her OB know about her morning sickness.
I hope she feels better soon.

Oh, how I do feel for her. With each of my three, it got worse until I could hardly eat anything with my last. It was so difficult to go anywhere as the smells are what got to me, especially food smells. I made a chart of the grocery store so I could make a shopping list for dh, and trie to carry with me a bar of a particular soap that I could stick in my face when nausea hit. I did try phenergan once but it made me so sleepy I had to call a friend to come get my 18-month-old as I couldn't keep my eyes open. Nothing else helped. Coke on ice in a glass was sometimes tolerable, as was a bologna sandwich with mustard (don't ask!) or pbj with a thin layer of pb. That was about it, and crackers made me gag. Good luck to her!

Dry cheerios before I got out of bed kept most of my morning sickness under control.

I was in the same class as Stephanie in Ga. Called Hyper-emesis Gravitia. Or Puke your guts out. I was actually hospitalized basically 3,4 and 5 months respectively with each pregnancy. So what works will depend on the person. What I found was that sometimes it wasn't so much "what worked" as much as what wasn't as horrible comming back up. Malt-o-meal came up tasting about the same as it went down. Milk...way too chunky coming up. Citrus burned coming up. Sweet tea and peanut butter toast would stay down. Each pregnancy I had a craving and that would stay down...Watermelon with the first. Orange Hi-C (cannot even look at that stuff now) and Vegetable beef Campbells soup (not beef vegetable soup, but vegetable beef). And lastly the sweet tea and peanut butter toast. Experiment, and if its been longer than 48 hours since she's kept stuff down, then it's time to talk to the OB dr. Compazine worked OK, until I had a horrible allergic reaction. THorazine worked good...then they found out it can cause birth defects. Chlorapromazine worked just ok. But this was 20+ years ago. Good luck, and give her my best. "Morning sickness" is nothing to take too lightly if it is too much. It made my pregnancies VERY high risk. The good thing...baby is a parasite, it will leach off mommy all it needs, so even though Mommy will feel awful, baby will be fine. (usually)

Do lemon drops help?

Nothing helped me but time. With all 3 pregnancies, I had 24 hour nausea until I hit the 2nd trimester. I remember foolishly calling the advice nurse in tears with baby #3 and she simply said, "Try saltine crackers." I wanted to bit her head off.

Sorry, I know I am of no help. I feel for her!

FWIW - I found that any hot drink would trigger it, whether coffee, tea, or hot chocolate, etc.

Another thing I've "heard" is that brushing with the minty toothpaste doesn't help, brush with more of a kids toothpaste. (hey some things are worth a try..like the ginger, lemon, etc...if something does finally work, stick with it)

Maybe some gingersnap cookies will help your DD.

My DD is also very early in her first trimester - only 245 days to go :)))

Best wishes to your DD. And congratulations to you. How exciting.

I brushed my teeth without toothpaste sometimes just so I wouldn't throw up. I'd chew gum afterwards.

Every pregnancy was different. I was sick 16-18 weeks with the boys. It ended at Week 12 with dd. I also wanted to slap anyone who recommended crackers. I normally love crackers, but couldn't gag them down with sick. I went cravings like fruit or fruit juice when I could tolerate it. Bananas and watermelon and home grown tomatoes wer things I could stomach. I hated bacon, coffee, and cheese. Dh smelled bad as did his Chinese food with ginger on it.

I found pouring an inch of Sprite, ginger ale, or 7-up would help. Since I got up so many times to pee in the middle of the night, I'd grab a little each time. The baby was against my bladder so cutting back on the drinks didn't seem to help. I went through days where I wanted only carbs and no meat or protein. I did what my body told me to do and it helped.
