Nausea only goes away with unhealthy food

This might sound crazy but I’ve been having nausea all day for the past couple of days (5w+5), I’ve tried eating multiple small meals, bland foods like porridge, crackers, yoghurt and berries, but nothing really stops the nausea unless I eat something unhealthy. So far what made them go away were Mee rebus, satay, ba chor mee, so anything with a strong flavor profile will make the nausea go away for a couple of hours after. But if I eat bland foods, no matter how much, the nausea still lingers. Is this a thing?!

Don’t worry. I supposed most pregnant moms experience this during their morning sickness phase. Eat what you can and want for now, what’s important is you eat. What you’re averse to, avoid. It’ll only make you vomit. Constant empty stomach will also worsen your nausea. I couldn’t stand plain water and eggs when I had morning sickness and I was a plain water & egg person. I could only swallow carbonated drinks (and I’m not a carbonated drink person) and fried food. Try also bland snacks like cream crackers (Hup Seng, Jacob’s, SkyFlakes etc) to keep yourself from being empty. For now just make sure you’re well hydrated and fed.
