Feeling nausea during the first trimester of pregnancy is a common symptom for many women. To help alleviate nausea and cope with it while working, you can try the following tips: 1. Eat small, frequent meals: Instead of three large meals, try eating small snacks throughout the day to help keep your stomach settled. 2. Stay hydrated: Sip on water or ginger tea to help prevent dehydration, which can worsen nausea. 3. Avoid triggering foods: Stay away from strong smells, greasy or spicy foods, and foods with strong flavors that may trigger nausea. 4. Snack on bland foods: Crackers, pretzels, or toast can help calm your stomach and provide some relief. 5. Ginger: Ginger is known for its anti-nausea properties. You can try ginger tea, ginger candies, or ginger ale to help alleviate nausea. 6. Rest: Make sure to get plenty of rest and take breaks when needed to help combat fatigue, which can worsen nausea. 7. Acupressure bands: Some women find relief from nausea by wearing acupressure bands on their wrists. 8. Seek support: Talk to your healthcare provider about your nausea and they may be able to provide additional tips or recommendations. Remember, every woman's experience with nausea during pregnancy is unique, so it's essential to find what works best for you. While it can be challenging to manage nausea while working, implementing these strategies may help ease your symptoms and make it more manageable during your first trimester. https://invl.io/cll6she
I used to feel really uncomfortable, although no vomiting yet.. but as others suggested, small frequent meals really helped.. I eat/snack every 2-3hrs on plain crackers/nuts/bread (unfortunately i realised i have food aversion to meat and any too tasty, even pic or video of these food 🤢).. and I always eat about half or so of a meal at any time as I learnt the hard way if I eat too much at any one time, I'll feel nausea for the next few hours.. and make sure never empty stomach too as that makes the nausea feeling worse..
Thanks for sharing!😊
Have smaller and more frequent meals, and have your meals especially when your nausea isn't as bad (e.g. eat heavier breakfast and lunch if nausea is worse at night). Sour plum also helped managed my morning sickness! I got those small dried chews from supermarket, and also plum candies from Muji. I would snack on them at work whenever the nausea felt a bit more challenging to manage. Hang in there mama ☺️
Thank you for sharing! This is helpful!😊
my morning sickness was very bad too. I find having breakfast as soon as possible followed by small frequent meals (about 2-3 hours apart) helps. I don't wait until I'm hungry, otherwise it goes downhill very quickly. If your job doesn't allow it, you could prepare some biscuits or fruits to snack on. hope this helps and you feel better soon! 🥰
I see. It seems like taking small frequent meals works for many pregnant mummy! Thank you for sharing!😊
First I started with some salt on the tongue, then tamarind, then assam. At one stage, none of it worked. I read online and people said sucking on small ice chips or ice cubes help. I'm Week 16 now and get nausea on and off and the ice is the only one that works now.
It must be tough on you. Thank you for sharing!

Prep some 100 plus/lemon(or fruits) water along with some little snacks (you can try out different small snacks to see which helps with your nausea).
Thank you for sharing!
That happened to me too! I felt nausea after finishing the whole meal, had to eat half a portion only. Thanks for sharing!
I snacked a lot to ease the nausea off. Probably not ideal,but I couldn't do much else.
Biscuits mostly, which aren't healthy. Nuts and fruits (excluding the cooling ones like watermelon) would've been a better option.
