Aoife Hearne: Eight weeks pregnant and nauseous most of the time

Are there any specific foods that can alleviate the sickness and boost my energy levels?

Aoife Hearne: "While a small percentage of women experience Hyperemesis Gravidarum (a serious and potentially life threatening condition), almost 80% of women experience some degree of nausea and vomiting throughout a pregnancy."

I'm eight weeks pregnant and feeling nauseous most of the time. It's exhausting and beginning to get me down. I can just about tolerate potatoes and toast, but little other food. Sipping water helps too.

My mum and sister also had difficult pregnancies.
