I wanna have a baby one day....but I am DEATHLY afraid of vomiting?

Question

I have emerophobia, which is the severe fear of vomiting. Literally it ruins my life and I'm always worried about being sick. I've probably been sick 4-5 times in my life, the last time being 7 years ago. I like to think I have a strong stomach and I could handle pregnancy and nausea, but still.... it scares me so much. Anyone else have experience with this? And if anyone else has this fear, how do you cope?

Answer

Good luck!  My thing is I couldn't puke in toilets....had to get over that.  Other women are afraid of needles, they just have to suck it up! Pregnancy isn't the most beautiful thing! But it's worth it to me.

Answer

I only threw up once and it was because I had gone too long with out eating. Eat small frequent meals and you should be fine

Answer

TTC with emetophobia myself! I'm just putting my fears behind and doing what I want in life. My phobia won't keep me from living how I wish! My desire for a baby > my fear of vomit. I know this isn't what you want to hear however the only way my emetophobia has lightened up is by vomiting and seeing others vomit. Not on purpose of course, it just seems the more I've gotten sick the more the fear dies down a little. And this is coming from a girl who used to curl up in a ball and have panic attacks from hearing someone else gag. Best of luck!!

Answer

Am sure u won't mind the vomit knowing something precious is growing inside u and not everyone vomits maybe u might be the lucky one☺

Answer

When you do get pregnant just eat a saltine cracker right when you get out of bed. :-)

Answer

I think I had that too when I was pregnant because just before I vomited I was shaking and scared, but I ate little by little through my pregnancy and it helped with nausea.

Answer

Not everyone throws up honestly. I never had vomiting with my morning sickness.  Just a gross nauseated feeling in my stomach. I can't say it will be the same for you but sometimes to do things we know will be worth it we gotta try. Even if we are super afraid. If the end result is worth it to you I'm sure you can soul search and gather up your strength to get through  it. I'm sure a therapist or counselor could help (if you're not already seeing one) and a good support system like your partner to motivate and encourage you. Good luck

Answer

With my son and daughter I didn't puke a single time while being pregnant!!! I wasn't even nauseous.

But this third child is kicking my ass!

I also understand your fear. Mine used to be a lot more severe than it is now. The thought of puking would send me into a panic attack, people talking about it made me anxious, people pretending to, I would cry and get very upset because people don't realize it's a very real feeling. There's so much more I could say but I'm sure it's things you already live.

There's lots of ways to suppress the nausea and vomiting while pregnant that are safe and natural. 
Speak it over with a doctor or psychiatrist if it would ease your mind.

Answer

I'm not sure this advice is really going to be all that helpful! But when you are ready for a baby I reckon you will just deal with it. You might get no sickness at all! I hate needles, I'm usually a complete baby about it and have to have someone holding my hand. However, during both my pregnancies it hasn't been possible to have someone there every time so I've just had to deal with it. Its amazing what the mind can do when you want something badly enough!

Answer

I have only vomitted 2X in my lud. I hate it too! 
I never threw up during my first pregnancy- not have I yet with this one. I have food aversion really bad.
