Nausea in the second trimester

I had bad nausea without vomiting throughout my first trimester, which I know is normal, but this went away at around 16 weeks I believe. Now at 27 weeks I have started to feel nauseas again sometimes, but only at night when I'm tired. Whenever I google it all the info is about bad sickness in the second trimester being a sign of something wrong, but is this the same for nausea without vomiting?

I have a feeling I'm probably just getting over tired, since I'm getting woken up around 7am every morning by baby kicks and my partner often doesn't get home from work until 11pm when I want to see him for a while. Then I've been very busy in the day, no time for naps. I have plenty of energy during the day, but at night I can suddenly feel very exhausted and that's when I get the nausea.

Could this be a sign somethings wrong? My blood pressure and urine tests are always perfect, plus we just heard the babies strong heart beat a few days ago 152 bpm which the midwife said is just right at this stage. Also the 20 week scan showed normal growth, but it's been a while since then.

Has this happened to anyone else? Is it likely something's wrong?

I felt sick all the way through and there was nothing wrong with my baby.

Nausea is not a sign of anything bad, it's just your body coping with the hormones. Try eating small snacks often and rest when you can. I find I feel most sick when I'm tired and hungry.

I’m in the third trimester and have had nausea and morning sickness since week 5. All is fine with my baby so far in terms of scans, my blood pressure etc.

I definitely feel more nauseas when tired, hungry or not had enough to drink. Maybe just try to pace yourself a bit more in the day time so you have more energy in reserve in the evening?

It's probably because what you've eaten in the day is just sitting on your tummy as it's all getting a bit squashed now! And then by night time and making you feel sick. If I get tired or over do a day I wilk feel worse with my tummy. I'm having one of those days today! However maybe just mention it to your midwife when you next see them

Shouldn’t be anything wrong. I literally went through the same as you. I had nausea all throughout my pregnancy. I vomited every once in a while after second trimester. I was fine.
