    iv been the same, i find a ginger nut biscuit can help, but unfortunatly not much else works. Eat wat she can, even if its bad.. For about a week all i could eat was crisps but it was beyter than nothing..

    That is a lot of puking, even by morning sickness standards.

    Has she been to her GP about it?

    Yeh Ginger nuts are definitely good to eat when you have bad morning sickness but with her getting sick that much I'd definitely be going to the doctors just to make sure everything is ok.

    My OH, (due yesterday) has gotten sick every day, several times a day for the entire pregnancy and was the same both times she was pregnant before. She had "morning sickness" in the delivery ward the last time. Hyperemesis is what they call it.
    Different women react differently and there's really not a lot a GP can do. Actually there's nothing they can do.

    All the OP's girlfriend can do is eat small and eat regularly, try gingernut biscuits before she gets out of bed in the morning, eat ice chips to keep hydrated.
    If she is especially bad, call the hospital. They put my girlfriend on a drip a couple of times to re-hydrate her
