Smells and Sights Causing Nausea At 9 Weeks?

[PippityChippity]

I’m 9 weeks pregnant today and have been experiencing nausea for the last 4-5 weeks but more recently, this has just been triggered by certain sights and smells (EG: The fridge, my OHs coffee, bits of food in the sink, fish, strong cheese, bread etc) rather than being present all of the time. I still have to eat something quickly when I wake up or else the nausea lingers on first thing. I’ve not actually vomited yet. I’m a bit concerned that this isn’t normal? I’ve still not heard from a midwife regarding my booking in appointment, despite submitting my forms 3 weeks ago. Will give it til 10 weeks and then chase again but just wondered if anyone else had experienced nausea with this kind of pattern? Have seen baby with a good heartbeat on an ultrasound. Thanks in advance

That’s what it’s like for some lucky people. I really wouldn’t worry about it!

This brings bad memories, both healthy babies though. Never again.

It’s completely normal. I couldn’t do cat food, bins or the fridge smells and I was only sick brushing my teeth. The toothbrushing problem was almost the entire pregnancy.

Oh and the clean dishwasher, the smell of that made me gag too.

Ahh thanks all! That’s reassuring! I guess I was just a bit worried as I’ve gone from feeling nausea for a lot of the day to just very intensely when something triggers it. I’ve developed some quite significant food aversions too and can’t manage a lot of foods that I would normally enjoy as the smell or thought of them makes me feel so sick. About the only thing I want to eat at the moment is curry believe it or not...I just wondered if the shift in how nausea presents itself is normal. What I don’t have on nausea, I’ve made up for in total exhaustion. Getting out of bed in the mornings and making it through the working day without a nap is a huge effort.

@Megan2018 The bins are another thing I forgot from the list of things which repulse me - The food bin is the WORST thing at the moment. OH has to change it everyday or I’m gagging manically in the kitchen if I smell it.

I couldn't even go past Tesco meat aisle at one point , open the cupboard in the kitchen as the mdf made me hurl, eat garlic, onions!

I couldn't even watch my favourite cookery programmes.

I burst into tears when I discovered beetroot salad as it tasted so good 😂

@PippityChippity, this is exactly the experience I had. I was nauseaous all day from about 5-7 weeks and then it tailed off but would have very severe sudden reactions to food in the sink or a dirty tea towel for example! I'd go from feeling okay to heaving and vomiting immediately. I'm 14+3 now and it's a bit better!

I had this wonderful experience.
It was so bad i went to the doctor and said if i knew how it was gonna be i wouldn't have become pregnant 😅
But it eased at around 10/11 weeks

I’m 9 weeks tomorrow and have had mild nausea at times, I’ve found I’m starting to go off some foods now - mostly meat and rich things. I just don’t fancy anything at the moment so choosing what to cook in the evening is a struggle as I usually love food and cooking!

Seems to be totally normal xx

Oh yes perfectly normal. My husband used to walk in a room and it would make me nauseous 😆😆

I couldn't go anywhere near my kitchen for a good few weeks. The sight of the toaster and cooker really set the nausea off. Isn't it strange what your body does. 😂
