Ha !! I have that same book. I've got a couple of good ones.
This is my 2nd pregnancy, the first time 'round I was never sick at all- a couple of morning's I didn't feel fabulous, but once I got up, dressed and out to work I was fine- I could even drink a coffee once I got there (just one a day)
this time, I started feeling sick before I even missed my period, and it was on and off throughout the day, it got worse and worse for the next few weeks- i'd wake up in the middle of the night sick, and not be able to go back to sleep. I wasn't hungry, and couldn't stand the thought of most foods. It peaked when I was about 8 or 9 weeks along- by that stage all I could face eating was oranges, icy poles(ice-lollies, popsicles whatever) and occasionally, every copuple of days or so, a toasted cheese sandwich. Nothing helped. It all stopped pretty suddenly at about 10 weeks or so.
I was lucky it ended so early- my friend's mum was still throwing up on the morning she gave birth, with all 3 of her kids!!!!
I've heard a sudden absence of pregnancy symptoms can be a sign of miscarriage, but it wasn't in my case- anyway, I had other sypmtoms besides nausea-like brest soreness, and frequent urination- i'm now 23 weeks along, and my nipples are still sore, and I still have to get up 3 or 4 times a night to urinate.
I wouldn't worry too much about the sickness coming and going. I'd make the most of the good days, and only worry if I had cramps or bleeding or something more obvious like that.
