Im vomiting like 4-5 times a day and its really draining yaar. Wondering how much is normal because im not sure when to actually worry. How many times did u all throw up in a day?
I know how scary every symptom or lack of symptom can be. If you are vomiting very heavily and feel dizzy or dehydrated, please don't wait and contact your doctor right away. Take very good care of yourself.
Listen, vomiting 1-2 times a day is very common due to pregnancy hormones. But please don't let yourself get dehydrated. Keep sipping coconut water or lemon water slowly, and if it gets too frequent, let your doctor know.
Oh, don't even ask! In my first trimester, I felt like a water fountain, vomiting like 4-5 times a day. As long as you can keep some water down, you are winning the battle, hang in there!
During my stay at the hospital, the nurses told me that up to 2-3 times is standard, but anything more needs monitoring. If you feel dizzy, just call your hospital's emergency helpline or message your doctor.
I used to count the number of times and panic if it was more than thrice. I kept searching forums thinking is my baby okay? Honestly, as long as you aren't feeling too weak or dehydrated, it's mostly normal, but do talk to your doctor to ease your mind.
My toddler is 2 now, but I still remember vomiting 3 times a day till week 14! It felt endless then, but it stopped almost suddenly in the second trimester. Just hang in there, this is just a phase!
If vomiting is too much, doctor might suggest IV fluids or urine tests for ketones, which can add to the hospital bill. To avoid extra clinic runs, ask your doc for a safe daily morning sickness tablet on your regular visit itself.
I feel your pain so much, those days were so exhausting and emotionally draining. I used to cry after vomiting 3 times a day thinking my baby is getting no nutrition. But trust me, your body is strong and this difficult phase will pass soon.
There's no fixed number, some have it once a day and some vomit multiple times. But if you can't even keep liquids down or are vomiting more than 4-5 times, you need to contact your gynac immediately. They can easily prescribe safe anti-nausea meds.
I have heard that morning sickness can be really intense for some. Is it true that vomiting starts right from the first few weeks, or does it get better in the second trimester?
Severe vomiting can lead to dehydration which isn't safe for you or the baby. If you are vomiting multiple times a day and can't hold food down, please check with your gynac. They will assess if you need medication.
