Read somewhere that chewing gum can settle the matli a bit and im desperate at this point lol. First trimester is killing me, the nausea is bohot bad in the mornings. Has it actually worked for anyone?
For mild nausea, mint gum might give you temporary relief. But since I had a very difficult pregnancy with severe vomiting and dehydration, I'd say don't rely only on these hacks. If you can't keep any food down, please let your gynac know immediately.
Beta, chewing gum can give some temporary relief because of the mint flavor, but don't overdo it as it can cause gas. Try keeping a small piece of mishri or a cardamom in your mouth, that is much better for the stomach. If the vomiting is too much, do consult your doctor.
Yes! My pregnancy tracker app actually suggested chewing mint or ginger-flavored gum to help produce saliva and reduce that metallic taste. It was a lifesaver for me during the first trimester. Definitely worth a try!
It did help me thoda, but my nausea was quite severe because of my fluctuating thyroid levels. If chewing gum doesn't give you much relief, please mention this to your doctor in your next visit. Sometimes we need proper medication alongside these small tricks.
Actually, mint chewing gum really helped me distract myself from the constant pukish feeling. My MIL was a bit skeptical about me chewing gum all day, but she saw it worked better than the ginger tea she made, so she let it slide!
