Trying to conceive and im just curious how the nausea actually feels. Is it like normal vomiting feeling or different? Want to understand so i can recognise it early on.
Oh, nausea is really annoying. It's like a constant queasy feeling, sometimes like you're about to throw up but don't always. For me, eating small, frequent meals and keeping crackers by the bed helped a lot. Also avoiding strong smells. Nothing fancy, just practical tips.
I'm in my second trimester now and luckily it's a bit better, but in my first, it was horrible. I felt constantly sick, like I was on a boat trip and just couldn't get off. Did anyone else get super sensitive to certain smells? It was crazy for me.
It's not just morning sickness, can be all-day sickness for many women. It feels like a persistent feeling of queasiness, sometimes accompanied by actual vomiting. Different triggers for everyone. Best to discuss with your doctor for management strategies, as they can recommend safe remedies.
I felt like I was hungover every single day for weeks! The smells of food, even water sometimes, would make me gag. It was relentless and made me so emotional and tired. It felt like my stomach was constantly churning, even when empty.
It's completely okay if you're feeling overwhelmed by it, it's truly awful. For me, it was like a never-ending seasickness combined with extreme hunger and then immediate aversion to food. It drains you mentally too. Just know you're not alone in feeling this way.
