Why do pregnant women gag?

Can you post please?

So… I’m 10 weeks pregnant and I gag over literally everything! If I look at my husband… I gag. If I try to wash dishes I gag. Its getting where I cant do anything without gagging. Does anyone know how I can make this stop? I would love to beable to look at my husband and kids without gagging :joy::joy:.

I got so sick during my second pregnancy that I was just disgusted by my husband. I felt so bad too. I couldn’t even kiss him without throwing up lol idk what it was but I would feel awful when he would try to love on me and I’m like um no you disgust me right now lol nothing ever helped either til I had the baby

Do you think it could be a certain smell on him making you gag?

Cant help with gagging but what I tried for my HG was the sea sickness bands, the preggie pops, candied ginger bites, ginger white tea, and walking. Ultimately I needed phenergan and zofran along with ER visits every other day to get 3-4 bags of fluid

Oh man it’s probably a boy I finally just got over it :joy: laying on my stomach helped and just resting for a minute. I feel for u tho lol

Try vicks under your nose. Alot of smells can make pregnant women sick.

I was the same way. I had HG with both kids and everything made me gag. Getting a handle on your nausea might help. Diclegis is the only thing that knocked my nausea down.

Do not use zofran at all it causes your unborn child to have defects!

We had cats. I LOVE my cats…unless I’m pregnant. Then…poor kitties. My husband caught me shoving them out the kitchen door or off my lap and would just look at me in puzzlement. I’m sure he was thinking “who is this woman?” I would feel angry and nauseous every time they would walk lol. No advice. It will go away.

My 1st was like that, everything i ate, drank & smelt made me actually throw up, their father smelt, his deodorant was gross (even after a shower). I sucked on lemons with a lil salt (in moderation) .

I honestly feel you!! 14 weeks and anything makes me like that too I have no idea why :joy::joy::disappointed::sob:

That’s how I was. I gagged ALLLLLL the time. The only thing that helped was smelling/ chewing this mint gum. It stopped it immediately

Uh… Say its the new way to say I love you.

I would gag at everything and always sucks on Wintergreen lifesaver mints, more saliva you swallow the less likely you are to get sick or gag.

I’m 11weeks with my 2nd and I totally get it just hearing it from another person makes it that much funnier. My Doc gave me unisom and vitamin b6 it helps. Also I’ve been drinking a nutritional shake every moring to get the nutrients I need. It helped me ALOT. It’s the only thing that’s helpes me to eat. Doc also changed my prenatals. It was irritating my stomach. Hope you start feeling better!!!

Ginger candy helped me. My 2nd pregnancy was literally spent puking the 1st 9 weeks, ginger always calmed everything down

Have gingerale handy at all times talk to your doctor about that too lol

With my 6 ginger ale helped a ton

Sounds crazy but try always eating Orange tic tacs…that helped when things would make me gag. I went about bought SEVERAL cases from sams.

25 mg B-6 3 times a day and unisom at night.

I think I started doing that the day after I got pregnant and it continued on until the day I gave birth. Nothing at all helped me.

Sucking on jolly ranchers or lolIi pops were the only things that helped me.

I lived on Morning Ease lemon ginger lozenges. I also had to take Zofran because I couldn’t stop vomiting and ended up so dehydrated with both girls. I took it as sparingly as possible.

Lol yeah that sucks, I wasn’t quite that bad with people making me gag. My suggestion is seclude yourself for the next few weeks and keep your :crossed_fingers: that it ends in the first trimester

I always had peppermint in my mouth. It was the only thing that helped me with nausea.

I’m 36weeks and I’m still doing this! Hope you can find something that helps!! Zofran did make it a little more manageable, maybe that would help you!

I told my Dr and he gave me an option for anti nausea medicine. Which also made me gag trying to take it, so nearly impossible. Hahaha maybe just take deep breaths and get your minset ready before you have to do something messy. Otherwise I remember the sensation going away until my daughter was 4.

I was prescribed Diclectin as an anti nausea medication, worked wonders!

Try Phengrin (pretty sure I didn’t spell that right) but it’s anti nausea meds and it comes in two forms at least. My friend when she was pregnant had the form you rub on your wrist and it would stop the nausea. She had some left over and gave it to me before I got to the dr. to get the pill form of it which worked for me. But rubbing it on my wrist worked well too. Only way I could eat, drink or do just about anything else lol

It doesn’t get any better lol I’m 14 weeks and still this way lmao

I had really bad morning sickness with all 3. Sounds strange, but sip on lemonade, chew gum, mints, b vitamin suckers for morning sickness. I think you specifically have to ask the pharmacist at walgreens for the suckers. I’ve never seen them on the shelf.

A script for Zofran helped me. Was like this for the first 22 weeks and some now (38 weeks). Best of luck!

My doctor gave me promethazine for the nausea I couldn’t take zofran it always made me throw up

Seaband bracelets work great for me. The only tbing that has helped

Ginger soda helped me a lot. Or mint gum.

Peppermint hard candies

ILL PUT THIS IN CAPS SO EVERYONE SEES, DO YOUR RESEARCH ON SILVER COLLIDAL. ITS A SUPPLEMENT THAT YOU GET AT VITAMIN SHOPS.

I couldnt even roll over in bed without wanting to puke, for 2 weeks. A friend told me her midwife low key mentioned the silver supplement. Its not FDA approved thats why i say do your research for your own comfort. Its not to be used in large doses, or for weeks on end regularly. I used it for two weeks. Sparingly. Only when i felt my sickness was at its worst. I dropped 5 mL under my tongue, leave it for 30 seconds. Before you swallow, youll feel the difference. It attacks the bad bacteria in your stomach causing you to be nauseous. And has been used for hundreds of medical reasoms since the 1800’s. Im a skeptic, but i gave it a shot, and i do not once regret it. I am also perfectly pregnant with a very healthy baby still. So even though your doctors wont tell you because its not “FDA” approved, consider it. Look at everything that IS “FDA” approved. Theyve approved some of the worst things that people put in their bodies. This has been used for centuries.

My morning sickness medicinal help is illegal, so I cannot share, but I guarantee there will be mums out there who know exactly what I’m talking about and how AMAZING it was at stopping it.
