Managing First Trimester Nausea and Vomiting: When to Seek Medical Help
Managing First Trimester Nausea and Vomiting: When to Seek Medical Help
Understanding First Trimester Nausea and Vomiting 👩⚕️
- Prevalence: Approximately 70-80% of pregnant women experience nausea and vomiting during their first trimester.
- Causes: The exact cause of morning sickness is unknown, but it is believed to be related to the hormonal changes that occur during pregnancy, particularly the rise in human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) and estrogen levels.
- Symptoms: Nausea and vomiting can range from mild to severe. Some women may only experience occasional nausea, while others may have frequent episodes of vomiting.
When to Seek Medical Help 🥼
- Severe and Persistent Symptoms: If your nausea and vomiting become severe, persistent, or interfere with your ability to eat, drink, or perform daily activities, it's important to consult your healthcare provider. They can assess your condition and provide appropriate medical interventions.
- Weight Loss: If you are losing weight due to excessive vomiting and are unable to keep any food or fluids down, it is crucial to seek medical attention promptly to prevent dehydration and malnutrition.
- Signs of Dehydration: Watch out for signs of dehydration, such as dark urine, infrequent urination, dry mouth, dizziness, or lightheadedness. If you experience any of these symptoms, contact your healthcare provider.
Remember, every pregnancy is unique. It's important to listen to your body, communicate with your healthcare provider, and seek help when needed.

So question am I the only one in the first trimester that isn’t experiencing any nausea or vomiting? This is my first pregnancy and I’m only about 5 weeks and everybody keeps asking if I’m okay and my first appointment isn’t until Nov 13th. It’s making me a bit stressed and angry 🙄

3rd trimester  Nausea and vomiting is back 😩 heart burn is so bad I’m vomiting and chest burns when I lie down and I keep gagging. Is there anything I can take. Pepcid and Tums are no longer doing the job. I’m pretty sure the culprit is heartburn and acid reflux😫

The all day nausea and vomiting is really starting to get the best of me. Does anyone have any secrets? I’m going to call my doctor in the morning to ask for zofran, but I hear you have to wait until the second trimester.

They gave me zofran when I found out I was pregnant I think you could take it now

Congrats hun.. I'm a first time mom my self to a 3 month old .. When I found out I was pregnant i started getting nausea and vomiting . the best home remedies I did was sip on warm water and put a warm cloth on my stomch . if that doesn't work I will call your doctor tell them how you're feeling and they can send you in something that will help you and not harm the baby please do not take Pepto Bismol you could also try drinking small amounts of ginger ale! I hope this helps a little bit I try and give the best advice I can give
