First trimester here and the vomiting is bohot bad, cant even keep water down some mornings. Feeling so weak. What worked for u all to manage it thoda?
Oh sweetheart, I totally understand how exhausting it is to feel sick all day when you are trying to stay strong for your baby. Try sniffing some fresh orange peel or ginger, it really helps soothe the senses. Sending you so much love and strength.
I used to track my symptoms on my pregnancy app, and it suggested eating dry crackers first thing in the morning before brushing. It actually worked! Also, avoid hot and spicy foods as they trigger nausea more.
During my early weeks, the vomiting was so bad that I felt completely drained and even cried some days thinking I couldn't handle it. I felt so guilty, but my doc assured me it's normal and gave me safe meds. Just take it one day at a time, dear.
Keep yourself hydrated with ORS or coconut water if you are throwing up a lot. Practically speaking, small, frequent meals are much easier on the stomach than three heavy meals. But if you can't even retain water, please contact your doctor for a safe prescription.
In my joint family, my mother-in-law immediately made me suck on a small piece of ginger or fresh lemon whenever I felt like throwing up. Honestly, that ghar ka nuskha really helped me survive the first trimester, but keep your doctor informed too.
I am in my second trimester now and still get sudden waves of vomiting, which makes me so anxious about the baby's growth. Did anyone else feel this way even in the second trimester, or did it stop completely for you guys? I usually just suck on mints to cope.
Please be very careful with severe vomiting, as it can cause dehydration which is risky if you have other complications. I had a tough pregnancy, so my gynac strictly told me to report if I couldn't keep water down. Definitely check with your doctor for safe anti-vomiting pills.
For me, having a dry toast or biscuit right before getting out of bed worked wonders. I had a really smooth normal delivery later, and looking back, this phase passes very soon, so just hang in there and eat small meals.
Ugh, vomiting totally ruined my love for food in the first trimester! I found that cold things like ice cream or cold fruit chaat were much easier to keep down than hot, oily subzis. Try finding what small craving stays in your tummy!
Vomiting is the worst part, yaar! Actually, what saved me was sipping iced lemon water throughout the day. Also, don't keep your stomach empty, just keep munching on small snacks every two hours.
