📖 Behind the Book — Chapter 3
Does your nausea have a time of day?
I see this pattern constantly.
A woman tells me:
"I'm actually pretty good until around 6 p.m. And then every night, everything falls apart."
But when we look more closely, something interesting is often happening before 6 p.m.
At 4:00, she's starting to think about it.
At 4:30, she's checking how her stomach feels.
At 5:00, she's wondering whether tonight will be another terrible night.
Her body has learned the pattern.
There's a fascinating parallel in chemotherapy research called anticipatory nausea, where cues associated with previous treatments can eventually provoke nausea before the medication is even administered.
And I want to make an incredibly important distinction:
This does NOT mean your pregnancy nausea is psychological.
You're not making yourself sick by thinking about it.
But your nervous system is part of your physiology. If it's already bracing, scanning and sounding the alarm before your usual nausea window arrives, that can potentially add another layer to an already difficult experience.
Which gives us something we can actually work with. 💛
Instead of waiting until you're at an 8/10 to support yourself, what happens if you start calming and supporting your system while you're still at a 2 or 3?
That's one of the shifts I teach in Bye-Bye Morning Sickness.
