I'm in my first trimester and feeling nauseous constantly, especially in the mornings. Is this normal? When does the vomiting sensation typically start and when can I expect it to get better?
My doctor explained that the sudden surge in hCG and estrogen hormones causes nausea, mostly between weeks 6 and 12. She told me to eat dry crackers first thing in the morning before getting out of bed. However, if you have heavy vomiting and cannot keep fluids down, please contact your gynac immediately.
Most women start feeling nauseous or vomiting around the second month of pregnancy. While home remedies like lemon water help with mild nausea, doctor advice is always best if it gets severe. Don't hesitate to ask your gynac for safe anti-vomiting tablets if you can't eat anything.
I used to feel nauseous starting from week 5, and the smell of raw onion was my absolute enemy! I could only tolerate cold things like vanilla ice cream or aam panna. If you feel like vomiting, try sucking on a lemon candy, it worked like magic for me.
I remember puking my eyes out in the first trimester, it felt like it would never end! But honestly, by the 14th week, it suddenly vanished and I felt so much better. Now with my toddler running around, those hard days seem like a lifetime ago, so hang in there!
Feeling nauseous usually starts around the 6th week and is a sign your baby is growing. Stay positive, keep your mind calm, and take deep breaths. For mild nausea, keeping a small piece of ginger in your mouth can help.
