1. Is vomiting normal in pregnancy?
Yes. Many women feel sick or vomit in the first few months. It’s usually due to pregnancy hormones and is called morning sickness.
2. When does it usually start and stop?
It often starts around the 5th or 6th week, is strongest around 8–10 weeks, and usually gets better by 3–4 months of pregnancy.
3. Will it harm my baby?
Mild vomiting will not harm your baby. But if you can’t keep any food or water down, you should see your doctor to avoid dehydration and weakness.
4. When should I visit the doctor?
Go to your doctor if:
- You vomit many times a day
- You can’t drink water or eat anything
- You feel dizzy, weak, or notice very little urine
- You vomit blood or have severe stomach pain
5. What can I do to feel better?
- ✅ Eat small, frequent meals instead of heavy ones
- ✅ Avoid oily or spicy foods
- ✅ Keep dry snacks like toast or crackers near your bed and eat before getting up
- ✅ Sip water or coconut water through the day
- ✅ Rest and try to stay relaxed
6. Can I take any medicine for vomiting?
Yes, your doctor can prescribe safe medicines for vomiting in pregnancy. Don’t take anything on your own.
7. Will I need to be admitted to the hospital?
If vomiting is very severe and you’re getting weak or dehydrated, your doctor may give you fluids and medicines through a drip for a short time.
8. Does it mean I’m having a girl or twins?
Not necessarily 😊. Some women with twins or high hormone levels have more nausea, but it doesn’t predict your baby’s gender.
💡 Remember:
Most women feel better after the first few months.
Eat light, drink fluids, rest well — and see your doctor if vomiting becomes severe.
