Summary

Dealing with nausea and vomiting during pregnancy is no fun. You’ve probably heard of “morning sickness” but that’s a misnomer - queasiness can happen at any time of day (and during any stage of pregnancy too). The good news is, for most people, it’s nothing to worry about. Even though it’s uncomfortable (and sometimes downright miserable), it’s generally not harmful to you or your baby.

In this episode, you’ll learn about triggers, warning signs, and relief options for nausea and vomiting in pregnancy. It’s a challenging part of pregnancy, and it’s common so we need to talk about it! I’ll also touch upon hyperemesis gravidarum, which is when nausea and vomiting escalates to a more serious condition and a level of severity that requires more intense medical attention.


In this Episode, You’ll Learn About:

  • How common pregnancy-related nausea and vomiting are
  • Whether symptoms can harm you or baby
  • What some of the underlying causes are
  • When digestive issues typically occur during pregnancy
  • What hyperemesis gravidarum involves and how it’s handled
  • How pregnancy sickness is evaluated and treated
  • How diet, acupressure, and ginger could help
  • Which medication options are available
  • Why cannabis isn’t recommended for symptom management
  • When to visit your doctor for help
