Honestly, it continues till the very end of pregnancy. I used to carry an extra panty liner in my office bag just to stay comfortable and dry during long meetings. If the color changes to green or it smells bad, immediately consult your doc.

When you are vomiting half the day, tight clothes are the absolute worst. Wear loose nighties or oversized cotton shirts so nothing presses on your stomach.

I know how irritating every single symptom can feel, especially when you are already dealing with nausea. For the itching, try taking cool showers and using unscented lotion. Please do mention it to your gynecologist to ensure it's nothing serious.

Yes, you can have a little bit of ajwain in food for digestion. But my doctor specifically warned me not to drink concentrated ajwain water or eat too much of it because it is hot in nature and can cause contractions.
