Nausea that won’t quit can turn early pregnancy into a maze of guesswork, guilt, and survival tactics. We’re pulling that experience into the light with a clear look at what drives “morning” sickness, why it rarely sticks to mornings, and how to find practical relief that respects your limits. Drawing on years of doula care and personal trial and error, we map the spectrum—from everyday nausea to hyperemesis gravidarum—so you can recognize red flags early and get the right support.

We talk through real-world strategies that fit into a busy life: small, frequent snacks that keep your stomach from tipping into empty, gentle proteins paired with bland carbs, and hydration plans that work when plain water tastes off. You’ll hear how ginger, vitamin B6 with doxylamine, and P6 acupressure can help, along with environmental tweaks like cooler air and scent-free spaces. When symptoms surge, we walk through medical options, from antiemetics to IV fluids, and why early intervention protects both you and your baby. Throughout, we name the emotional weight of constant nausea, and how humor, permission to slow down, and a small, informed support circle can restore dignity and hope.

This conversation holds space for the messy middle: the days when brushing your teeth is a victory, the moments when a bowl of cereal genuinely saves the afternoon, and the stories that remind you you’re not alone. If you’re navigating nausea now, or supporting someone who is, you’ll leave with clear tools, language to ask for help, and a kinder frame for the work your body is doing.
