1st trimester & emetophobia?

Hi all, I’m 5 weeks pregnant and terrified. I have emetophobia ( fear of vomiting ). Can anyone tell me if they had vomiting during pregnancy and if so, when did it start? Did it hit fast one day or gradually got worse leading up to that day? I’m only in 3000s for hcg and see I have a looooong way to go 200,000+! If I’m handling it ok now, is it possible for my body to adjust and be okay during the upcoming weeks? This is my second pregnancy and my nausea was mild then but it’s been about 6 years. Do anyone else have this fear?

Everyone doesn’t vomit during pregnancy. I have only had 1 or 2 pregnancies where I actually vomited out of 8 pregnancies that progressed that far. You can also use different things to help ease it. You can discuss different options with your provider.

I have severe emetophobia and I understand this 100% both my son and my daughter I made it through without V* I’m currently about 5 weeks in and I am being hit with minor nausea. So for me it’s been gradual but there is some people that the urge to be sick comes out of nowhere for them. If you wanna be safe, eat slow and often. Don’t starve yourself because of the fear it will make you feel soooo much worse. And don’t eat super greasy/sugary foods makes me feel yucky anyways lol. And if you do end up with pretty bad sickness. You can ask your doctor for Zofran.
