Nausea while BFing

Kellymom says it's normal due to hormones but I'm just curious if anyone else experiences waves of mild nausea during initial latch/ letdown? If I'm eating something when I start nursing I have to put it down because I feel so nauseated. Then it goes away. So weird!

    Yeah, this is part of my normal.. while I was sick about a week ago it was a lot worse because I was already feeling queasy.  Either way I just take it as my body's friendly reminder that just because the baby is eating doesn't mean I have to snack the whole time too.

    I get this too!! It sucks- it's like nauseous and anxious at the same time. At least it only lasts a few minutes usually.

    DS isn't on the breast but I double pump and the first 2-3mins are miserable with how much it makes my stomach hurt. Weird.

    I had it pretty badly the first week or so then it got better. My dr recommended snacking on almonds to keep my blood sugar up.

    Well glad Im not the only one, anyway! Hormones are marvelous things, yes? Kellymom says it should go away between 6-8 weeks, so here's hoping!

    I don't BF but even I get waves of nausea when I start leaking. It's so consistent I know that if I check I'll find spots on the pads.

    Wow, this makes me feel better. I always get a little anxious/nauseated as I'm getting ready to pump. It always gets better a few minutes in.

    Me to. At first I thought was dehydrated or something but it's very normal. And it sucks, especially in a very rare dead sleep

    @slowmo‌ --apparently the anxiety is hormone related too! I can't link from mobile but there is also an article about that on kellymom if you'd like to google :)
    Our bodies are amazing and crazy!!
