It gives fabulous tips on how to break the cycle of morning sickness.
And just to throw in my .02 worth of advice, don't forget that hunger can
be a major factor in morning sickness.  If you can break the cycle, keep
eating and don't let yourself get too hungry!  And I also agree - eat
whatever sounds good!>>>

I agree wholeheartedly. When I was 10 days overdue (24 days pregant) I ate
french fries. I became terrible sick for a couple of days, vomitting. Even
plain water came out. I lived on sugarwater for a couple of days. For the
rest of the pregnancy I couldn't break the cycle
hungry-nausuated-eating-vomitting anymore. I kept vomitting for the whole
pregnancy. Every bit of fat made me terrible sick. During my second
pregancy I was bettle able to prevent coming in this cycle. I still
vomitted for 9 months but didn't became that sick that I could only bear
sugar water.

Most of the given suggestions didn't work. However later I found out I had
gallstones, my gallbladder was removed and the surgeon said ther migth
have been a relation to my severe prengancy sickness. Third pregnany was
beteer, I still was ill, vomitted only for 6 months, but the usual
recommendation against "morning" sickness worked better this time (eg
lemon).

To bring the issue back on the topic of bf: I weaned my first son when I
became pregnant bc I was afraid to become that sick again and would starve
myself (and the baby inside me). Docter gave me metoclopramide, and the
info said "not compatible with breastfeeding". What a surprise for me to
found out that you recommend it for increasing milk supply!

And now I've heard several times that since nursing has a balancing effect
on sugarlevels in the mothers, that it migth have a positive effect on
"morning" sickness. Indeed the "morning" sickness during my second
pregnancy only started after I weaned my son. :(
