Question

I've been experiencing a lot of nausea and vomiting, especially right after eating, since becoming pregnant. What commonly causes this kind of vomiting after meals during pregnancy? It's making it hard to keep food down.

I've read that progesterone slows down your digestion, leading to nausea after meals. Are there specific foods that are triggering it for you?

This is just your body adjusting to create a beautiful life. Try to eat light, stay positive, and definitely let your doctor know if it gets too heavy.

Hormonal changes and slow digestion cause this. Don't worry, it's very common.

Rani Oswal · Answer

It is usually normal due to hormonal shifts, but please monitor yourself closely. If the vomiting is severe or you feel dizzy, contact your doctor immediately.

Mishti Maheshwari · Answer

My digestion slowed down completely, causing bad reflux. Eating very small, frequent meals instead of three big ones helped me a lot.

Jhanvi Garg · Answer

Sucking on a small piece of ginger or lemon can help settle your stomach. But if you are vomiting excessively and feel dehydrated, please consult your gynac right away.

Amisha Nanavati · Answer

It is mostly due to the sudden surge in hormones and a slower digestive system, sweetheart. It's a very tough phase, but please tell your doctor if you can't keep even water down.
