My bestie is 14 weeks pregnant and has had really bad morning sickness from the start, with no sign of it letting up. I’d like to send her a little goodie bag of bits and bobs to make her feel loved. She has barely been able to leave the house. Can you suggest what could go in my goodie bag?

A few nice face masks, she will probably be dehydrated x

That's so nice of you! Things I've found help my nausea: Travel sickness wrist bands, salty snacks (crisps, crackers, pretzels), isotonic/ sports drinks, ginger tea, ginger biscuits, ginger ale and ice lollies. I also went to the Dr for prescription medication for sickness and that helped the most

Yes to those ready salted crisps!

A new pair of jammies or slippers! I lived in mine when I had HG bad and although it didn’t help the sickness, it made me feel better in one way x

New pjs slippers cozy socks ready salted crisps face mask bath bombs or bubble bath some nice lip balm moisteride her favorite drink maybe some chocolate when the sickness where’s off and maybe a voucher for either a places that sells mat clothes of baby clothes

Peppermint oil to sprinkle on cotton pads and put in a nice jar to sniff - lasts ages and really helped me!!

Soft mints really helped me! I know ginger things are meant to help as well but I couldn’t take to it

Oh also the travel sickness bands

Ginger and lemonade was like saver for me and flannel . I would get worked up mum would pat me my face down with cool it down . I feel it for your friend you doing a lovely thing .

Salted crackers like Tucs and some peanuts were great for soaking up the sick feeling

I made one for a friend recently and I included gum/mints to help with nausea, ginger candy, and body armor since she’s also breastfeeding and hydration is double important
