Learning notes
Explanation
แพ้ท้อง is an everyday verb phrase for experiencing morning sickness, particularly during early pregnancy. Its basic pattern is “person + แพ้ท้อง.” It can cover more than nausea and vomiting. It may also include sensitivity to smells and changes in appetite or food preferences. Common degree expressions include แพ้ท้องมาก (have considerable morning sickness), แพ้ท้องหนัก (have severe morning sickness), and ไม่ค่อยแพ้ท้อง (not have much morning sickness). It is best learned as a complete expression rather than interpreted literally from แพ้ and ท้อง.
Usage
It is commonly used when pregnant people, family members, or friends discuss pregnancy-related symptoms. It is also a normal everyday expression for describing these symptoms to medical staff.
Caution
Use this for pregnancy-related symptoms, not for ordinary nausea or an upset stomach. Despite the English term “morning sickness,” the symptoms can occur at any time of day.
