I'm having really bad morning sickness every day and it's making it hard to eat anything. I feel so weak. Can anyone suggest some easy ways to reduce this nausea?
Having gone through so much to get pregnant, I was terrified of any symptom, but my doctor gently explained that nausea is very common. Try eating some dry toast or safe home-made dry snacks slowly in bed. Please don't stress, but if you feel too dehydrated or can't eat anything at all, check with your clinic right away.
Sucking on a piece of amla or smelling fresh lemon worked wonders for my mild nausea. But honestly, if you are vomiting constantly and can't even keep water down, please talk to your gynac. Severe vomiting shouldn't be ignored at home.
To get through my morning client calls, I used to keep ginger candies in my bag and sip cold water throughout the day. Don't try to cook in the morning if the smell triggers you, just ask your husband or cook to handle breakfast. It's all about saving your energy.
I used to cry every morning thinking something was wrong with me because I couldn't even drink water! But then I found out it's completely normal and actually peaks around 9-10 weeks before getting better. Just eat whatever bland food you can tolerate, even if it's just boiled potatoes, it will pass!
I had severe nausea till my 5th month so I completely feel your pain, it's horrible. What helped me was having cold apple juice and avoiding all oily or spicy food completely. Don't let your stomach stay empty, keep munching on roasted chana or biscuits every two hours.
Oh sweetie, I totally understand how exhausting and draining this phase can be for you. Just remind yourself that this is temporary and your little baby is growing beautifully inside. Try taking tiny sips of coconut water and give yourself lots of grace and rest.
My doctor said morning sickness is actually a good sign of a strong pregnancy, but to manage it, we should eat small, frequent meals instead of big ones. Keeping some dry crackers or Marie biscuits on your bedside table to eat right when you wake up really helps. If the vomiting is severe and you can't keep liquids down, please consult your gynac for safe anti-nausea meds.
Haan na, morning sickness is the worst part of early pregnancy. Try sucking on some fresh lemon or a small piece of ginger, it really helps with that weird taste ho na. Take it easy and don't force yourself to eat heavy stuff.
