Pregnancy Nausea & HG: The Truth
Pregnancy is often portrayed as a time of radiant health and glowing skin. But for many women, the early months or even the entire pregnancy can be dominated by relentless nausea and vomiting. For some, it’s mild and manageable. For others, it’s much worse or becomes hyperemesis gravidarum (HG), a severe condition that leaves them depleted, dehydrated, and emotionally fragile.
I’ve seen it. I’ve lived parts of it (thankfully not HG). And I want you to know, your body isn’t failing. It needs support.
A Different Way to Look at Pregnancy Nausea
Many women dealing with HG or chronic nausea have trouble moving bile properly. When bile gets stuck, toxins build up. This can trigger nausea, food aversions, and fatigue. Some believe it may be caused by subclinical cholestasis.
What slows bile?
-
Excess vitamin A
-
High copper
-
Poor liver function
-
Gut inflammation
Pregnancy puts extra pressure on these already stressed systems.
What to Avoid If You Feel Worse with Nausea
Try to avoid for now:
-
Cod liver oil
-
Liver supplements
-
Multivitamins with retinol
-
Carotenoid-rich or copper-heavy foods like mangoes, carrots, kale, spinach, shellfish, liver, and dark chocolate
These are often promoted as nutrient dense, but during pregnancy they can overwhelm an already burdened liver and make symptoms worse.
What to Try When Eating Feels Impossible
-
Small wins matter: Spoonful’s of Bircher muesli before rising, black bean brownies with protein and bile-binders, or sips of apple juice with activated charcoal can all be game changers.
-
Bind & support bile: Use foods like oats, peeled apples, beans, and psyllium husk.
-
Hydrate creatively: If plain water is tough, try bubbly mineral water or herbal teas.
- Experiencing constipation from activated charcoal? Add more oats, oral magnesium oxide/citrate or magnesium oil topically, and keep up gentle movement.
Tissue Salts That May Help
Try Kali Phos (tissue salt number 5) every 15 minutes during fatigue.

One Simple Reset That Helps: Prep Your Nightstand For Smooth Start…
Before your feet touch the ground in the morning after your sleep:
-
Drink apple juice or water with powdered charcoal
-
Eat a spoonful of Bircher muesli from your bedside
-
Then stand up and start your day
Try the charcoal again before bed to absorb toxic bile overnight and ease morning symptoms.
