My Newly Pregnant Friend needs your help!

Hi Girls, a friend of mine just found out she's pregnant. It is *NOT* me. I will repeat, it is NOT me.

Anyway, she needs advice for how to deal with nausea and generally being pregnant in the workplace. She's not telling anyone about it yet (not even her mom), too soon, you know? The only reason I know is because she was REALLY desperate for help and advice, and seeing as I know lots of people she thought I'd know some pregnant women, or women who had been pregnant, so she could get advice without blowing her cover.

So, can you ladies help us?

I was so so sick and the only things I found that helped were:
Oranges (for whatever reason )
Wrigleys Spearmint gum
Ginger pills + vitamin B6

Hope some of it works for her!

lemon water
keeping food in your stomach

Have her talk to her dr. too about her prenatals - mine were too strong and I switched to Citracal and had a lot easier time digesting....My dr said Citracal is the easiest to digest...
