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?!

Hey there! I totally understand what you're going through, and it's completely normal to feel this way during the early stages of pregnancy. Nausea can be really tough to deal with, especially when it seems like only certain types of food can make it go away. It's interesting that you've noticed a pattern with the type of food that helps alleviate your nausea. While it might seem unusual, it's not uncommon for some women to find relief from nausea by eating foods with strong flavors. Every person is different, and what works for one may not work for another. If these particular foods are helping you feel better, then it's okay to include them in your diet in moderation. However, it's also important to focus on maintaining a balanced and healthy diet during pregnancy. You mentioned that you've been trying to eat multiple small meals and bland foods, which is a great approach. In addition to the strong-flavored foods that seem to help with your nausea, continue incorporating nutrient-rich options like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins into your meals. If the nausea is persistent and affecting your ability to eat a variety of foods, it's a good idea to speak with your healthcare provider. They can offer personalized advice and recommendations to help manage your symptoms and ensure that you're getting the nutrients you and your baby need. Hang in there, and remember that you're doing great! It's all about finding what works best for you and your body during this special time. Wishing you all the best on your pregnancy journey! https://invl.io/cll6she
