Try six to eight small meals spaced throughout the day instead of three large meals. Emetrol is an over the counter fruit sugar syrup that is helpful with mild nausea. Try a different toothpaste or mouthwash. If it is a gagging thing, you can ask your doctor for some topical numbing spray to put in the back of your throat. My daughter is four months pregnant and we have discovered a hernia.
Most hernias tend to expand in pregnancies and are typically repaired after the delivery.
Usually these are around the navel and the pressure of the expanding uterus splits the tissue apart causing the hernia. The only hernias that require immediate attention are those small hernias that get intestines trapped through the small opening and then can't be pushed back into the abdomen. It is called incarcerated. Incarcerated hernias require immediate surgery. I am 22 weeks.
