I'm experiencing a lot of nausea and morning sickness right now, and it's quite uncomfortable. What exactly causes this nausea during pregnancy, and is it a good sign?
Beta, this is due to hormonal changes and increased body heat. Keep a small piece of ginger or some saunf in your mouth when you feel sick. Also, try eating dry toast or a biscuit before getting out of bed in the morning, it helps quiet the stomach.
My mother-in-law always said nausea is a sign of a very healthy pregnancy, but medically it's just the rapid hormonal shifts. My gynac advised me to avoid oily food and have fresh lemon juice. Definitely consult your doctor if you feel too dehydrated.
Ugh, those crazy pregnancy hormones completely ruined my love for food in the first trimester! Even the smell of tempering tadka or garlic would make me run to the washroom. Thankfully my cravings came back with a vengeance later, so hang in there!
It's basically a hormonal peak, especially during the first trimester. Don't worry too much, it usually starts settling down by week 12 or 13. Just eat small, frequent meals so your stomach never stays completely empty.
It is mainly caused by the sudden rise in pregnancy hormones like hCG and progesterone. Since I had PCOS, my hormones were already unbalanced, so my nausea was quite tough in the beginning. Just go easy on yourself, your body is adjusting to a lot of changes.
Ah, the lovely first trimester nausea! I remember crying because my husband smelled like onions. Now that I am in my third trimester, I am just tired of the heartburn, but trust me, that vomiting phase does pass eventually!
