First trimester can be so difficult with all this nausea, haan na? I used to drink simple lime juice with a little bit of salt and sugar, which gave me instant relief. Just don't force yourself to eat heavy meals, small bites are better.
Please make sure you are getting your thyroid levels checked regularly alongside your prenatal tests, as thyroid fluctuations can also worsen nausea. Keep your doctor updated about how severe the nausea is. Don't skip your routine checkups and blood tests.
Beta, in our days we used to keep a small piece of dry ginger or some roasted saunf in the mouth when feeling uneasy. It is gentle on the body and helps settle the stomach. But if you are unable to digest anything, do not delay and ask your doctor.
Between handling my wife's 3 AM nausea and taking care of our toddler, sleep is just a distant memory for me. We found that keeping some salted crackers next to the pillow helps her eat a bit before she even sits up. It minimizes the morning drama quite a bit!
When my wife was going through this, she couldn't stand the smell of tadka at all. I started doing all the cooking with the kitchen door shut and windows open. Removing those strong cooking smells actually helped reduce her nausea a lot.

I used to panic and cry every morning thinking something was wrong with my baby because I was vomiting so much. But my doctor assured me it's just hormones working. Once I crossed 14 weeks, it automatically settled down, so hang in there, it gets better!
