Me too! I always wondered what it was called. It was my biggest fear about getting pregnant - would I have morning sickness?! Luckily, I didn't! I am nervous about the dealing with a puking kid thing, though...Guess I have 3 months to get over that...

Also hate roaches, they make me nauseous. However, all you Floridians with your "palmetto bugs" and the NYers who call the giant ones "water bugs" - you all know those are just pretty names for cockroach. When I moved to NYC I did a lot of research on them and found those are just names people use to feel better about have a ginormous cockraoch in their home. Really not trying to make you feel worse, just giving you the facts!

Ice on any surface where I have to walk. I will avoid going outside or walking in areas where there is ice. I remember going to Pittsburgh to look at a college and there was ice everywhere. I think that was the biggest reason I crossed the school off my list.

Knives also scare me, and I do have a slight fear of bees, but only because I'm allergic to them.

However, I can say with pride I am not scared of these things, and would love to have one for a pet: really big spider
