Hi Everyone, this is my first time posting. I just sat the IBCLC exam this year and was a
little scared of asking stupid questions!
With my first daughter, I experienced a wave of nausea before each MER for about the first
year (she nursed until she was two and a half). It wasn't that bad, so I just dealt with it. I
have a new baby (born 7/20) and about two weeks ago it started again--a wave of nausea
about 30 seconds before I have a MER. It's actually a little convenient when I'm out in
public and my baby is not nursing--I can apply pressure to stop the MER before I soak my
shirt! In accumulating my counseling hours for the exam, I only came across one other
woman who experiences this and haven't had much luck finding out the cause. I assume it
probably has something to do with oxytocin?? Some else suggested it might be related to
vagal nerve response? Does anyone have any insight? It's definitely bearable, but I'm
getting more curious about the cause.
Thanks,
Kimberly Hill
