The nausea and morning sickness have been terrible since my first trimester, and it's making it so hard to eat anything. I really need some effective tips on how to deal with this constant nausea during pregnancy. What worked for you all?
Don't keep your stomach empty, that is the biggest mistake. Keep some dry biscuits or crackers on your bedside table and eat one before you even get out of bed in the morning.
My doctor explained that pregnancy hormones slow down digestion, causing nausea. She suggested taking vitamin B6 supplements (as prescribed by her) and having cold foods like yogurt which have less aroma to trigger gagging.
Look, some amount of morning sickness is bound to happen, but don't suffer silently. If you can't keep even water down, go straight to your doctor because you might need safe anti-nausea medication.
My mother told me to drink warm ginger water in the morning, which really helped soothe my stomach. My doctor also approved it and advised me to avoid oily food.
My pregnancy tracker app suggested eating small, frequent meals instead of three heavy ones to keep blood sugar stable. Tracking my triggers on the app also helped me realize that oily smells were making it worse.
I just delivered recently, and during my first trimester, sucking on a small piece of lemon or smelling fresh ginger really helped cut down the nausea instantly.
