10 truths about nausea during pregnancy

1-Vous n’êtes pas une chochotte, c’est votre copine/sœur qui est une chanceuse

Plus de 70% des femmes enceintes ont des nausées pendant leur grossesse. Mouaih, mais vous aurez vite fait de constater qu’un certain nombre d’entre elles ne parlent pas du même phénomène que vous.

There are stage 1 nausea of ​​pregnancy, the cuties who disgust a little at breakfast and prevent drinking a coffee (“Pregnant, I prefer tea!”, smirk the lucky women) and go after the shower.

There are the nausées de stade 2, bien collantes, which prevent getting out of bed without having drunk lemon sparkling water, nibbled on a rusk, and which poison life until the middle of the afternoon to resume cheerfully around 18 p.m., the official time of fatigue and migraine.

There are the nausea stage 3, very awful, that won’t let you go for a second and even wake you up at night. A clue to know in which category you are: if homeo, ginger, accupressure bracelets and Primperan® do nothing, you are in stage 2 or 3.

2-You are not depressed, you just want to hibernate

Put your head in the bottom of a hole and stay there for 16 weeks without moving: the favorite program of all those who suffer from nausea. Let’s be honest, none of us want to walk in the fresh air in the forest before going to work, cook grilled chicken breasts with plain rice and green beans for the next day (and split this meal into three pour le grignoter tout au long de la journée de travail, vas-y, mâche tes haricots froids pendant la réunion !), de boire du ginger juice, to be pricked by needles on the strategic points where the flows responsible for the retching would pass, to breathe deeply in full consciousness 50 times a day.

At best, all of these tips keep you from sinking. Sink where? That is the question. The pregnant woman who wanted a baby is not going to go back. She is stuck, a willing victim of her condition. Not to mention that she must remain silent about her condition until the first echo.

3-You are not hungry, you have gastric juice

That bitter saliva that fills your jowls several times a day reminds you that your stomach is empty and you need to fill it. Be careful, not too much, not too much! Gone are the pleasure of hunger to fill, to cook, to taste, to share. No more gluttony and convivial moments. You become a beast to be fed on “passing” food.

Open the fridge, take a burst of smells to vomit and leave, disgusted, turkey breast, a carrot, broth, hazelnuts, a candy. What else? Saliva obviously returns after the meal to smash your tasting menu stuck for several hours in the top of your throat (or pretending to be there). Nature is so well done.

4- You are not asocial, you prefer to lock your office door with a key.

It’s to keep scented colleagues from coming in and giving you a headache. afternoon snorting samples at Sephora “. Not to mention the scent of coffee, which are like signals for your chemical receptors: ” Vite, produire des nausées, sinon la femme enceinte risque de se bourrer de caféine ! » La nature est bien faite, bis.

5- You are not rude, you fall in love

« I have the back teeth which bathe ”,“ I will not hold ”,“ I am a rotten snail ” coupled with burping 25 times a day, smelly farts, hippopotamus snoring, unwanted spitting, bleeding gums, almost yellow skin, rob you of all your dignity! And the worst part is that as the days go by, you don’t care. This ragged state becomes a form of claim. “ What’s wrong with me, what’s wrong with me? The lonely spouses can easily understand here that any reconciliation, even without the smell of deodorant or coffee / cigarettes, is unthinkable.

6- You have no courage, you are a gladiator

If despite the first 5 points you manage to work in the first trimester, you can consider yourself an everyday heroine, an “over-woman” that everyone should applaud on the bus in the morning and in the evening. Know that it will not be. And especially since you are not big enough to be given a seat.

Your strength is absolutely ignored by all and only you, can feel proud of having succeeded in brushing your teeth one more day with this filthy toothpaste (one example of a moment of great courage among many others, ah the smell of processed cheese from the company canteen).

7- There is no concrete explanation for nausea, everyone bumps into it

Stress, hormones, thyroid, the end of the world, Donald Trump, everything and nothing are cited in the literature, and the truth is, no one has really cared about this silent, invisible, and dead-end problem. yet is digging the hole in Social Security (if we are to believe the figures on sick leave in the first trimester!). There are quite a few medical students or Canadian practitioners who have tried to unravel the mystery with a few studies, but let’s be frank, the greats of this world do not see the problem too much.

« You will give birth in pain as the other said, eh, right? “, Try a few mocking gynecologists in front of our pleas. The only scientific info you’ll find: nausea is a good sign, your pregnancy is going well, the baby will be fine. On est d’accord, c’est pas une raison pour sourire (et faire déborder la purée qui remonte de ce midi).

8- Nausea doesn’t stop on the first day of the 4th month, it’s a Disney legend

This day that we have underlined, put in bold in our diary since 5 weeks ago and that we wait like a 4 year old child who tramples for his Christmas gifts, this day for which we have counted, recounted, consulted tables of The evolution of the Beta HCG rate, read and reread a thousand discussions, surveys to know the experience of others, this day does not always arrive. Yes, it’s hard to take. Nausea often continues into the 4th month, or even longer if you are sensitive to smells, hormones, stress, the uterus compressing your stomach. That is, if you are a woman, all that is most ordinary.

9- If you don’t vomit, no one feels sorry for you

(Apart from your mother of course and a devoted friend who would support you even in the event of the theft of a swimming cap at the municipal swimming pool). Other people look away (in pity) when they realize that you don’t heroically stack every morning in a trash can before going to work. If you have that “luck”, yes, you will get their pat on the back and their encouragement. If you have this “luck”, you will be understood and this of course in part thanks to the great Kate Middleton who has raised hyperemesis gravidarum (or Hyperemesis gravidarum) to the rank of royal disease. Corn raw nausea, no spray, no vomiting, no overflow, my dear, it’s nothing in the minds of the general public, colleagues, traders, friends, it’s KEEP CALM and DRINK PERRIER.

10-You will hold on and the result will be incredible

It is long, even insurmountable exposed in this way, but it will stop. And the first meal or snack that follows, even a poor, dry cookie and apple juice or motherhood pollock / shells will be the greatest feast you will ever have. Nausea has this huge benefit: it turns your postpartum life into a daydream. And prevent any risk of baby blues. This will allow you to reciprocate the non-nauseous, non-compassionate, naughty ones: “Why are you crying?” I have NEVER been so happy ”.
