Morning Sickness

While reading up on the What To Expect book at the beginning of my pregnancy, I read that morning sickness usually appears around week 6. And yes, dear readers, that is when I started getting it. 
My first case was just all day nausea. Lord, it would not go away. I tried saltine crackers all day and of course water but that was about all that sort of sounded good. My baby's godmother told me to make soup and luckily I had some chicken broth in the cupboard. I cut up some carrots so I would have some nutrition in it. nope, the broth was amazing and i didn't let the carrots get soft enough. I also had a splitting headache, so baby's godmother brought me some much needed Tylenol. That day was a Sunday as well.
The next morning... Me and the toilet reunited since the flu episode of January 2011. And I was one miserable pregnant lady. I'd puke and try to go to work only to go home early most of the time because A) I became nauseous again or B) I threw up. 
I work in a call center and sometimes you cannot get your customers off the phone fast enough to get to the bathroom.So it gets all over my chair, all over my desk, all over my hand, shoes, pants, desk and headset. That's when its time to go home, especially 'cause your area now smells like vomit. 
All the puking, however, was really starting to hurt my reliability at work. There was only so much my supervisor could do for me. So I took my ADA form (American Disability Act) up to Glacier Maternity requesting extra potty breaks (for tinkle time and puking time) and for excused absences. Unfortunately, my job no longer pays for ADA absences; too many people abused the power, most because they smoke like a frickin' chimney. (please note: I am not denying that I haven't taken advantage of this, when I'm really tired or too stressed I fake morning sickness). And oh, God, whoever created the term "morning sickness" needs to be punished severely. If that person is dead, we need to bring him/her back to life and torture them and then make them re-dead. It will last all day if it wants to. On the bright side, the closer I got to my second trimester, the less I puked and the more tired I got. 
Things that helped morning sickness less sucky: to start off, it was suckers. I discovered this one day at work. Some gave me a dum-dum sucker and I was nauseous. I popped that thing in... relief. So I bought tootsie-pops. Those lasted for a while, until I got a green apple flavored one, by the way, that one sucks to puke up. Lemon-Ginger tea helped later on as well.
Things that made it worse: eventually, the tootsie-pops had to go after puking up green apple. As did chicken broth and saltine crackers and the lemon-ginger tea was too harsh on my sensitive tongue (and no, that's not a pregnancy thing, I have a sensitive tongue). For the most part, I just had to take it easy and avoid stress and the morning sickness wasn't so bad.
