if you vomit because you overate – then that does relieve the pressure on your stomach

I’ve actually suffered from Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG) in each of my pregnancies – which is constant nausea and vomiting (ie, *with medication* I would vomit 20+ times per day. I need to be hospitalized for IV fluids multiple times.)

The worst part was that I *didn’t* feel better when I vomited. I would feel the immense urge to vomit, then vomit, but that feeling wouldn’t go away. Even with the meds (that suppressed my body’s ability to vomit, so that I could sip water and it would stay down), I felt the immense pressure/urge to vomit 24/7
