Super Anxious! 💕

First time momma here (and first time being pregnant). I am so scared of morning sickness... anything I can do to distract myself of it potentially happening?! I know it's silly, but emetaphobia is reallllllll ladies

A piece of candy like jolly rancher or peppermint always helped me with sickness … also smelling peppermint oil helped the Nausea

Congratulations!! Try not to think about all the symptoms everyone’s pregnancy is different. I think I threw up like twice my entire pregnancy

Congratulations

Mini candy canes saved my life my first pregnancy!

@Emily I have a jar of mints next to my bed 😂

Congrats!! I had a bad time with sickness, what seem to help was salty crackers and sprite

@Tia I know, I keep telling myself that.. but it's so hard 😂

I was never actually sick but did feel sick. This only lasted for the first trimester and weirdly ate salt and vinegar crisps which make me feel better

B vitamins (in the AM), Unisom (at bedtime), seabands, and staying hydrated helped me through my nausea. If it helps, it is a different kind of sickness, at least in my experience. It didn’t leave the acidic feeling afterwards that would happen if I were sick with the flu or something. If you do have extreme nausea, you can talk to your doctor and they can prescribe medicine.

@Amy hahaha you can handle whatever is thrown at you! ♥️

Also I took 8 pregnancy tests when I found out “just to be sure” lmfao. We had been trying for so long so it was a shock… then at like 5 months I took another one…. Just in case lol

Congratulations! Try not to stress about it because that isnt good for the baby.. you have a long journey ahead of you, Try to enjoy every second of it .

I never had morning sickness

Congratulations and the whole pregnancy is very much worth it I promise

Hey there! I only get nausea if I haven't eaten in a while. So I keep saltines on my bedside table and in my purse. Ginger or peppermint tea has also helped. Maybe those will help you. Good luck and welcome!
