How To Beat Morning Sickness During Pregnancy | Doctors Explain

[@AmallieGames]

Everytime I barf I then just burst into tears and my boyfriend has to come snuggle me and tell me it's going to be okay and will get better 🥺 pregnancy is hard.

[@melissadevine7719]

Hope this is easing for u 💕

[@AmallieGames]

Yes it has gotten so much better now that I'm in the 2nd trimester. I'm a little sore these days but I can totally deal with that after being so sick the first 3 months.

[@RelishWithReCheil]

What week did you start feeling better? I’m week 12 and suffering

[@AmallieGames]

@@RelishWithReCheil it was around week 14 - you're probably almost there! I made a tea from fresh grated ginger, lemon juice, and honey and it always made my tummy settle a bit.

Week 7 here and the nausea and vomiting has started. I wish i could fast forward through it.

[@jennfrestana8237]

I am currently going through morning sickness at about 6-7weeks. I find water, side of ginger ale, the wrist bands for morning sickness, zofran, ginger chews (small) and my lavender oil to smell. This video helped so much! I sound so extra but it is so horrible and I can’t wait to be past the morning sickness phase 😂 ❤️ bless the mamas out here! We got this.

[@cocomint26]

So glad this channel popped up! Weeks 5-7 were intense queasiness but never throwing up and extreme tiredness. I’m on week 9 now and I started eating every two hours and the queasiness subsided almost completely. Sleeping, peppermint power mints and peppermint tea helps. Ginger made me feel worse. I notice I can smell everything too...I can’t stand scents!

[@TheDoctorsBjorkman]

Isn't it amazing how sensitive your sense of smell gets?!?! Glad to know you've found some things that helped you and that its all getting better. The second trimester is so much better for most women too. Good luck!

[@desireelinklater3929]

It is very scary I didn't know I had it bad with my morning sickness in my first trimester, and it got better in my second but still don't like when I get sick I just feel out of control. I've been drinking peppermint tea to help with it. But I didn't know what it was until I researched and felt better knowing I wasn't the only one affected.

[@xicanashawty2574]

Little update, I’m now 31 weeks, the HG subsided its not as severe compared to when I was 25 weeks pregnant. It does get better mommas! Just listen to your body and get rest. Get up and active when you can.

[@charcW8850]

I’m on baby #6 and I get quite sick each time, it does get better about week 25 for me though. It’s horrible but having that child the rest of your life is worth the sacrifice. No way to get through without a super supportive hubby who’s willing to pick up my slack

[@bri7014]

I call bs on the “nausea is protecting you from eating the wrong things” theory because the only things I can stomach right now are foods like ramen noodles, bread, bagels, Mac and cheese etc. I was eating way healthier before my pregnancy but I’ve developed food aversions to anything that isn’t plain and easy to eat.

Agreed, I can only eat cheap carbs and even then I feel sick all the time.

[@rmc1894]

I am very very scared of vomiting too it gives me panic attacks I find that being outdoors with fresh air helps to overcome that fear somewhat

[@valeriegrace2144]

I had no idea emetophobia was a thing until I just read your comment. I haven’t been diagnosed with it, but boy do I relate to the feeling. There’s literally nothing I hate experiencing more than vomiting. I spend so much time during my morning sickness (I’m in the 7th week of pregnancy) closing my eyes, crying and praying I don’t throw up. It’s always scared me for as long as I can remember. 🙁

[@MS-yu5cl]

Wow, good to know am not alone. Have had enatophobia since childhood. I remember the last time I threw up, I was about 7 and I remember the dread and fear. Am on my second pregnancy. Violent nausea that has me in tears but no vomiting. Somehow I trained my brain to not grow up over the years.

[@perlaherrerawassuupp.3397]

I had HG with my daughter, worst thing ever; nothing worked for me and I lost 30lbs. And I still had an 8lb baby. Love you guys channel

[@allifairbanks4465]

I wish I had found this video sooner, I am now 37 weeks +4 days with my first child (22 years old) and I didn't even know hyperemesis was a thing until Ive had to experience it myself. I remember everyone telling me the nausea and vomiting would get better & that it would go away in the second trimester and unfortunately week by week passed and I never got any relief 😢 but thankfully once it got diagnosed as hyperemesis gravidarum and I started trying nausea medications eventually I found a medication that helped and have found which foods trigger that nausea and vomiting and it has gotten so much more manageable for me. Being sick and kind of miserable 24/7 was definitely not what I was expecting going into my first pregnancy but I am beyond thankful for modern medicine and I just keep reminding myself that I am going through this for the best reason ever and it will be so worth it in the end which is finally so close!😊

[@dianaaugustine5438]

I wish my ob had listened to me during my first pregnancy. I started vomiting non-stop at 6 weeks. My GP started me on zofran which worked ok for me until I had to stop due to side effects. The bonjesta the ob put me on did nothing. I was constantly eating crackers to push the vomit back down my throat all day long. At 21 weeks, I remember telling my ob that I was still suffering. He didn’t believe me. He told me it was just heartburn and to take tums. A couple weeks later, I was vomiting blood and suicidal. So many people just do not understand how terrible it can be. And because I was gaining so much weight, noone believed me.

[@mrsvilus21]

Same here. Worst at 7 weeks

[@AncientLemomTree]

I’m 36 weeks pregnant with a baby girl and my morning sickness still hasn’t completely gone away. I still get nauseous and sometimes vomit in the morning. At the beginning of my pregnancy I would get severely sick every 2-3 hours, which subsided when I ate something. Food had to include something with bread, pasta or crackers, or else it wouldn’t work to subside my nausea. As my pregnancy went along, I could go more hours without eating and not feel sick. Now I still only feel sick in the morning, which makes sense since it’s 7-9 hours without food. But having to eat more frequently than I had to previous to being pregnant has slowly made me gain more weight than I’d like (30 lbs already). My sister in law gets hyperemesis during her pregnancies and she is currently pregnant... she lost 25 lbs in the first 12 weeks of her pregnancy and was severely dehydrated and put on IVs. Now she’s on medication and it is more under control.

[@TheDoctorsBjorkman]

Ughhh. My heart goes out to you mama. Throwing up is the worst. I'm glad it has gotten a little better, but it still sounds rough. Thankfully that little babe should be here in a few weeks and it will completely go away! And actually sounds like you are on the right track for weight gain--recommended is 25-35 pounds, and you only have 4-5 weeks left. So don't beat yourself up, you are doing great. Sounds like your sister in law is having a rough go too, but I'm happy to hear the meds help a little for her. You both hang in there!

[@nick.universe_]

I'm 6 and a half weeks along, and I've found the most helpful thing for my nausea has been Tang orange drink. I mix the powder with water and it helps immensely. I'm not sure why. 😅

[@kaitlynsarter4019]

Tang is full of vitamins!!! That and it's a good choice in terms of a "light" flavor, unlike something greasy that has what i would call a "heavy flavor" if that makes sense. This is my opinion, anyway, as to why it works for you!♥️

Oh mama I am so sorry you are so sick. It is so miserable and not wanting to be pregnant again is a totally reasonable feeling. I'm sure you have--but if you haven't, talk with your doc about prescription meds that could help, and if you are losing weight or unable to keep liquids down, make sure you see your doc for some hydration and IV meds.

I had hyperemesis gravidarum and was losing weight rapidly. My doctor was reticent to prescribe any medication before 16 weeks whilst organs were forming. I began drinking Ensure nutritional shakes and they really helped me to get my calories and maintain a stable weight until I felt better around week 20.

If an anti nausea medication says that it could create spasm side effects, it's not a good idea to take the drug during pregnancy.. 'R' drug is nasty metoclopramide. Speaking from experience, it can give Tourettes in children. If a drug is not recommended for under 1 year old, it should not be recommended for baby in the womb.

Thanks for taking the time to make this video. I am currently 6 weeks pregnant, and struggling with nausea at all times of the day. Since I have extreme fear for vomiting (I have been diagnosed with emetophobia), I struggle to eat and drink. After one week of being on a 600 kcal diet, I start to struggle with the thought that I will have to do this for another 10 weeks. I am a skinny girl, and already lost at least a kg this week. My boyfriend urges me to start vomiting to release the anxiety, and maybe open up the option to eat more. After seeing your video, I tend more towards medication. What would you recommend?

[@valoxsen6003]

I am also emetophobic and had horrendous nausea from weeks 6-10, but I didn't throw up a single time or take any anti-nausea meds! I mostly listened to my body on what it would tolerate me eating, and I made sure to eat something very small every 2-4 hours to keep the acid from building up in my stomach. Fresh air also helped whenever any smells indoors would make me feel sick. I'm now on week 12 and regaining my appetite. Best of luck to all expectant mothers!

When i hit the 4weeks mark i was throwing up like a water hose does. Im now almost done first trimester and im still throwing up! Though less frequent 😊 ehhh can't wait to get out of this stage!

[@lisaherron2423]

Thanks so much for this! I had terrible nausea my first pregnancy till 20 weeks.. it was constant but worse in evening and overnight, I didn't sleep much. Because I had no vomiting, my family doctor would only prescribe Diclectin, which didn't help. I missed a lot of work and my employer was not happy. To cope I ate carbs constantly and gained 50 lbs. We're trying to conceive again and I'm afraid of a repeat! In your practice, do you consider using medications for severe nausea alone if it's impacting the pregnant person's quality of life?

[@TheDoctorsBjorkman]

Lisa. That sounds brutal. And sounds like you coped in the only way you could!! If the carbs helped, I'd eat carbs constantly too. Every doctor is different, but generally, if nausea is making it so you are constantly miserable, can't life your life, go to work, etc...then I would absolutely have a discussion about starting prescription medications. It's always a risk vs benefit conversation that is unique to every patient, but there are usually mom & baby safe anti-nausea meds out there that might be able to help--even if only a little. It might be a great idea to have a talk with your OB about starting some meds early in your next pregnancy, before it gets bad. There is some data that prophylactically starting meds can prevent it from getting severe. Keep us posted on how it goes. We will be thinking of you.

[@lisaherron2423]

​@@TheDoctorsBjorkman thank you so much! It helps to be more informed this time around. Happy to hear that getting on top if it early may produce better results. Could have been part of my problem last time. Now I'm a full time toddler mom and part time veterinarian.. so laying on my couch with a plastic bag in one hand and a bag of chips in the other is not an option!

[@aleciamorris1642]

im 6 weeks and 6 days today . last week ( week 6 ) i would only get alittle queasy … as soon as 7 weeks started i just got morning sickness up the ying yang . every morning same time , but today it just hasnt stopped , im at 2:48 pm and im so miserable. and usually its not that bad i only puke alittle then im good all day . but ugh right now imma give in and finally take my zofran . 😮‍💨

I just found out yesterday... I hate throwing up so much 😭

Hi i’m so paranoid what prenatal vitamins do i take that will be okay ?

[@irawosapphire6833]

I am in my 9th week now and since conception I am grateful to God that I never vomitted not had morning sickness I only had metallic taste in the mouth which I take care of it with lemon , insomnia and I get hungry only in the evening.....I will be done with my first trimester soon.....is it possible that the morning sickness comes to my second trimester since I didn't experience it now that I am in my first trimester?

[@ItsJxo_]

Thank you! This video is extremely helpful.

[@littlegreendress6243]

Can you guys talk about the difference about Folic acid and Folate Acid?

[@moonykmi]

I have pretty bad “morning” sickness and have found that small frequent meals help. Carby snacks and meals have helped me the most, def bland and fruit, and lemon water. I did have a bit of dehydration and some weight lost. I feel my prenatal vitamins have been making the whole thing worst. I have had to stop taking them and have felt better. I think I will try a new brand sans iron and keep up the folic acid

[@alexandrakritzman938]

Currently dealing with morning sickness and fruit and carbs are the only things that don’t make my stomach turn.

[@Lovely-wy4fo]

I agree I feel those prenatal vitamins make it worst.

[@aadamy]

Lacto fermented drinks work. Make up for a B6 deficiency. Little amounts of coconut water helped but too much and I got sick.

[@bridgetspaeth9751]

I had HG and was extremely hard to get thru. I've needed prescription medicine and hospitalized with IVs. That pregnancy I had a girl which I think is my cause of HG. I tried everything (except weed) that was suggested to me. It got so bad my Dr's gave me zophran which worked for 2 weeks then stopped. They put me on diclegis which was a life saver for me. This pregnancy I have been using these ginger , vitamin b6 drops. They taste great and helps with my mild nausea. I'm only 5 weeks but I hope I have a better pregnancy this time around.

[@vanessalorenzo2880]

I am 15 weeks and have had 3-4 days a week that I can’t keep food or liquids down. Lots of IVs and more in my future! HG sucks! Hoping it subsides at least by 20 weeks!

[@UnfilteredMotherhood]

Try drinking lots of lemon water and try frozen / really cold fruits & smoothies. It helps so much!

[@kimberlyquintana389]

I have lost 17 pounds in 4 weeks, some days I keep things down but then there are 2-3 days at a time where I bring everything up. I had to hire an infusion nurse to come to my job for fluids. My doctor gave me suppositories to help since nothing is staying down PO but said I shouldn't be too concerned since I became pregnant while overweight.

[@alondrasantillan9378]

That’s exactly what I was told too. Kinda made me feel bad

[@mels7099]

Omggg that’s messed up. From what I’ve read, women shouldn’t lose weight at all during pregnancy even if they are considered overweight. The baby needs all the nutrients it needs & being in a deficit wont help. I’m not sure what your doctor was talking about.

[@cayliebates829]

Hello!! I am 7 weeks pregnant currently and have not had any sickness.. only sore boobs and have been tired. My first appointment isn't for another month. Do you think I have anything to be concerned about?

[@missamanda_]

The nausea is intense. My go to foods have been: -1/4 of a Turkey club sandwich (no sauce) -1/4 of a peanut butter and honey sandwich -Watermelon -Ginger tea That’s literally it.

[@emilyreese1875]

We'll be trying for babies after I'm finished applying pesticides (in just a few short weeks!) I'm really anxious about pregnancy

[@BrianaSpeaks]

How do I constantly snack when everything I eat or drink is coming right back up after 5 mins

[@laurengalinato8365]

Thank you so much! I’ve had an HG pregnancy in past and want to have another baby but starting anti nausea medicine sounds like that is the key to start using it before symptoms start. So would I see my general practitioner for that? I started severe nausea five weeks of pregnancy I am not sure who I would see to start a treatment plan before so get pregnant to prevent severity of symptoms as I am not sure a regular GP will prescribe anti nausea meds before pregnancy but I want to prepare since I’ve had severe symptoms in past at start of pregnancy. Thank you 😊

[@PRINCESS77813]

Is it normal if I DON'T have morning sickness? Is it cause for alarm?

[@christinacurran6008]

Calms so many nerves thank your doctors!

[@itsthatonechickagaincallth7843]

I'm almost 7 weeks along and am watching your video at 4 am in the bathroom after throwing up a ginger root supplement, lol..

[@rose23902]

I threw up 15 weeks straight with my son day and night I couldn’t keep anything down. I’m pregnant again 7 weeks and so far just have been nauseous in the mornings.

[@rose23902]

***Update : I’m having a girl ! 🤣

[@leilahussain637]

Finding it hard to eat anything during the 1st trimester due to morning sickness. How many calories a day is too little to keep baby alive? Want to make sure I'm feeding the baby enough

[@melaninbeauty7027]

I am 4 weeks & a day & also a PROUD surrogate but gosh it’s been so hard because the lil baby is making me crave everything I throw up 😩😭

[@mimimgl2557]

Thank you for these valuable info 😊.

[@faebalina7786]

It’s accompanied by acid reflux and cravings so confusing to want food and be repulsed by it at the same time

[@massielhuh54]

I’m so grateful I found this! I was diagnosed with HG and the only thing that seems to work is Unisom, I am concerned however bc I have been taking it for over 4 weeks now, any issues taking Unisom long term? Switching ob at the moment due to the lack of communication 😩

[@brittanydonaldson1276]

Ginger and Crackers makes me feel worse 😩😩😩 the only thing I can eat that subsides it is meat. Like something baked. Light foods makes it worse I don’t know why. And I can’t eat the same thing twice or I get sick. It’s so frustrating. I’m desperate to find something that works 😢

[@mariahdowney2769]

Currently going through nausea and I vomited for the first time today. I feel sick all the time now with vomiting.

[@lindseybaruzo3273]

How bout the frequent headache that doesn't go away?

[@IdolEyes84]

I have headaches and muscle pain plus extreme tiredness/weakness, dizziness, lack of concentration and mood changes. I had my blood tested, and at 6 weeks they said I have an overactive thyroid. I take thyroid medication and penadol, which has helped a bit. Also test your ears, as it may be a balance issue or dehydration.

[@dnbdiva2227]

So agree, its just there looming. Urgh

[@elyssabarajas3554]

I'm just feeling bad for my husband. we've been trying to figure out what I can eat and what I can't. Water was awful, so I have been having cereal with almondmilk or pedialyte to stay hydrated. I can finally drink water again. My mouth tastes awful if there's no food in it and I hate how everything smells. I get full really fast which makes me nauseous. And of course, constantly gagging, coughing and complaining. I have called out from work twice this week, which is not great cuz I am out of sick time so I have to get it together

Can barely put one foot in front of the other. I have tried everything all these remedies and nothing working

God bless. New dad here. 👋🏾 my girlfriend and I are expecting our first child. Any tips for me and how I can best support? In addition to this awesome video of course. Thanks, in advance.

[@xicanashawty2574]

My husband helps me by comforting me and helping me de-stress. My man will offer to give me foot massages, cook for me (if I can’t get up from bed- and I am weak), help me with daily chores, he’ll help me shave my legs (lol its hard shaving when that belly bump grows in), tell her she’s strong and that you’re there for her. We are 24 weeks currently sometimes my husband will get frustrated with me because he wants to help but really just don’t get frustrated because she’ll get stressed and feel 10x worse than she already is. Be patient and tell her to get rest and nap. Remind her that she’s growing a baby inside of her and it’s a lot of work! Just be patient with her and always grab plastic bags for her if she has motion sickness. Pat her on the back every-time she pukes. For me, I have asthma so I’ll have my man get my inhaler and give me a pump if I can’t hold it myself. After the baby is born ask if she plans on doing birth- control. Its very easy for women to get pregnant again. That’s a personal choice but I know I’m definitely only having one child cuz HG sucks! Hope this helped. Unfortunately you can’t do much just be patient and try to understand her struggle. Tell her to tell you what to do as well if you’re tired of wondering what to do, it’s okay to ask for help.

[@natp1877]

7 weeks pregnant and my OB prescribed me Bonjesta. I know I can get the individual ingredients over the counter. I’m a scientist at heart/by training so I’ve been reading up on it all but somehow I’m still feeling a bit uneasy about taking any meds for my nausea although I really need it 😅 now you said as well that it’s been deemed safe for the developing fetus so I guess I’ll have to just trust the science. Unrational prego thoughts? Lol

I am so grateful for this video. But feeling so nauseous every night😅 I’m 9 weeks and what is the deal with all the salivation?! It won’t stop coming up but mostly before bed. So weird. I’m chewing some spearmint gum which helps a bit… not sure if my sickness tablets are working so may have to switch to something stronger!
