Emesis gravidarum is a common complaint experienced by pregnant women, especially in the first trimester. Nausea and vomiting can interfere with daily activities and affect the mother's nutritional status if not treated properly. Self-management by pregnant women is an important step to reduce discomfort due to these symptoms. This article aims to describe various independent efforts made by pregnant women in overcoming emesis gravidarum in the first trimester of pregnancy. The method used is a descriptive study with a qualitative approach. The results of the study showed that most pregnant women used strategies such as regulating diet, consuming ginger, getting enough rest, and relaxation techniques to reduce symptoms. Knowledge and support from health workers also play an important role in the effectiveness of self-management. It is hoped that these results can be a reference in developing educational programs for pregnant women.
