Morning Sickness That Never Stops

In this episode of The POPPED Podcast, Dr. Emily breaks down one of the most misunderstood parts of pregnancy: “morning sickness” — that for many women feels more like all-day, lingering nausea. She explains the real physiology behind why nausea happens, including the role of hormones, the brain, and the gut, and why some women experience it far more intensely or for much longer than others. This episode also explores when nausea may need more support, and offers practical, realistic tools to help make this phase of pregnancy more manageable. Most importantly, this conversation validates the emotional experience of feeling sick for weeks or months — reminding moms that they are not alone, and that this is real physiology, not something they’re doing wrong.In this episode, you’ll learn:• Why “morning sickness” often lasts all day• The real causes of pregnancy nausea (not just hormones)• What GDF15 is and how it triggers nausea• Why some women feel sicker than others• When nausea becomes hyperemesis gravidarum (HG)• Practical tools to reduce nausea and support your body• How acupuncture and nervous system support can help• Why it’s okay if pregnancy doesn’t feel enjoyableThis episode helps you understand what’s happening in your body, feel validated in your experience, and walk away with tools to support yourself through one of the hardest parts of pregnancy.#ThePoppedPodcast #BirthEducation #BabyLedBirth #LaborAndDelivery #ChiropracticForPregnancy #PregnancyPodcast #DoulaSupport #BirthWorkerLife #ExpectingMoms #BirthPrep #prenatalchiropractor #hyperemesis #morningsickness #alldaysickness #prenatalsickness #prenatalacupuncture
