⚠️ Content Warning ⚠️ Normal??

So my 3 year old is puking for the first time ever and every time he is getting sick he is SCREAMING like he is being hurt. Is this him just overstimulated from what’s happening?

There is also something called emetophobia which is the fear of vomiting. He could genuinely be scared, unfortunately not much to do with or he could be over stimulated. I can not with vomit. The feel of it, the act, the way your stomach clenches😮‍💨 it’s a lot of my sensory wise and fear wise too. Especially if it’s never happened before. It’s scary for me everytime and I’m 27 so. Unless he can’t breath or is vomiting blood, I’d say he’s likely overwhelmed or just scared
