First trimester and i throw up almost every morning, sometimes after lunch too. I know its common but actually wanted to understand why it happens at all. Just trying to make sense of what my body is doing.
Honestly, my body decided that even the smell of my husband's shampoo was a crime in my first trimester! It's all because of hormones making your nose super sensitive. Just keep a bucket nearby and remember this too shall pass... eventually!
Morning sickness and vomiting are primarily triggered by the rapid rise of HCG and estrogen hormones, along with an enhanced sense of smell. While it's a normal sign of a developing pregnancy, do consult your doctor if you feel dizzy or can't retain fluids.
Vomiting is normal due to rising HCG hormones, but if you can't keep any liquids down, please be very cautious. I had severe dehydration during my pregnancy which led to complications and hospital admission. Please check with your gynac if it is too heavy or frequent.
Our bodies undergo massive hormonal shifts to support the new life, which often slows down our digestive system and causes nausea. I found that eating small, frequent meals rather than large ones really helped keep the vomiting in check.
I felt so weak and miserable during my first trimester because of constant vomiting, I literally cried every morning. But my doctor helped me manage it and assured me it meant the baby was growing well. Dry toast before getting out of bed helped me a bit.
It's just those crazy pregnancy hormones like HCG and estrogen doing a dance in your body! Don't stress too much, it usually gets much better after the first trimester. Keep some ginger candies nearby and take it easy!
