5w4d and Terrified of Morning Sickness (emetephobia)
Does anyone else feel like they are waiting for the other shoe to drop when it comes to morning sickness? I am a 37 year old FTM with severe emetephobia (fear of vomitting). I'm 5w4d today and all of the horror stories that I've read about morning sickness "hitting like a train" at 6 weeks "on the dot" is giving me so much anxiety.
I've been feeling pretty okay symptom wise so far. I have had a lot of breast tenderness and a bit of fatigue. I have also been taking b6 3x a day preemptively to try and stay ahead of the nausea. But recently had to switch to just taking a half tab of unisom at night instead when I realized that the b6 was upsetting my stomach a little bit. The unisom has actually been making me feel pretty good I think. But changing up this routine has added to my stress since I'm not sure whether the b6 was actually helping to keep the nausea at bay so far.
I should note that I am prepped with all the usual things people recommend (ginger tea and chews, sea sickness bands, preggy pop drops, altoid mints etc)
Any emetphobia sufferers out there with any advice on how to cope with all of this? Also, has anyone else only taken unisom at night (without the b6) and been fine?
