Morning sickness is a real bummer. I had it 24 hours a day for the first 5 months, and I vomited every morning the entire 9 months all 3 pregnancies. I stopped fighting it. It got to the point where I'd just look at the toilet when I first got up every morning, get it over with, and then I was better the rest of the day. It was only dry heaves and some gastric juice, which is much better than vomiting food.
As hard as it may seem to eat protein, try to eat some. White meat chicken may work. Scrambled eggs with cheese saved me many times. The protein will help stabilize your blood sugars/insulin levels which are beginning to be thought to influence morning sickness. Don't worry about your carbs until it lessens. I lived on every variety of chicken soup in the store for the first 5 months.
If it gets really bad and leading to dehydration, ask your OB for some Rx medication or ask if you can take 1/2 Unisom tablet. I took it and it works GREAT. But ask first. Mine said it was fine.
Good luck...I know how bad it is!!
