Morning is not even the only time, I feel like vomiting in evening also. I am 8 weeks and smells from kitchen make it worse. What small things helped you get through the day?
Oh I really feel you, mine was terrible. What helped me was eating something small before even getting out of bed, like a few dry biscuits. Empty stomach made it ten times worse. Small meals every 2 hours instead of big ones also helped.
Keep dry snacks handy all the time, that's the trick. Stay away from oily and strong smell food, it triggers everything. Cold things were easier for me than hot food. It usually eases off by second trimester so hang in there.
My amma used to give me cold rice water with a little salt and it really settled my stomach. Sucking on a bit of lemon helped too. These small things are safe. But for the queasy feeling that wont go, your gynac can suggest something safe also, so ask her.
I worked through my nausea so I learnt to carry biscuits and a small lemon candy in my bag always. Never let stomach go fully empty, that was my rule. Sip water through the day in small amounts instead of gulping. Made my office days bearable.
Beta try a little ginger, like ginger in warm water or just a tiny piece to suck on. We always used that at home for nausea. Lemon smell also helps some girls. But if you cant keep even water down, tell your doctor, dont just bear it.
My app suggested ginger and eating before getting up, and both actually worked for me. I also found that fresh air helped, sitting near a window. Avoid the kitchen when something strong is cooking. It does get better with weeks, promise.
The ginger and small meals tips are good and safe. But honestly if you are vomiting many times a day and feeling weak or not able to drink water, please dont tough it out, see your doctor. That kind of heavy vomiting needs to be checked so you stay hydrated.
