My first pregnancy my nausea went down considerably around 11 weeks. This time in still having nausea sometimes at 15 weeks but it's not nearly as bad as weeks 6-12 were

Til I was 21 weeks!

Mine got much better at 15 weeks and was gone by 18 weeks. I was throwing up all day every day though (even with anti-nausea meds)

I was so nauseous until week 11. I took zofran every day. I specifically remember the day in my 11th week when I was on a family vacation and was going to take a nap and it occurred to me out of the blue that I hadn't taken a zofran and I hadn't felt sick at all that day! It (the nausea) continued off and on for the next week or so but it was so much more bearable!

Good luck! This too, shall pass!

I felt better around 14 weeks, I am 18 now and have not thrown up for a month.

I felt better around 14-16 weeks with both pregnancies. Just a few more weeks. Make sure you eat little portions and eat often. It really helps curb the nausea and always carry a little snack with you when you go out. Hope you feel better soon!

I started to feel a little better at 13 weeks, but was still throwing up daily until 14-16 weeks. Somewhere in there I started feeling a whole lot better. I hope you feel better soon. I am 6 weeks now with #2 and taking unisom/b6...it's helping, but I am really hoping I start feeling better around 13 weeks again.

I had none with my first pregnancy. I know a few people who had it bad, and it got better between weeks 13 and 15.

I was nauseous all day every day until 20 weeks.

as soon as 6 weeks hit, i had all day nausea with pretty frequent vomiting. i'm 13w2d and no signs of it letting up i'm on diclectin and had to up my dosage so i take one in the morning, one before lunch and two at night... i found after time the medication stopped working and i had to up it. now i find it is completely random. sometimes it works great, other times, not at all. i am prayingggggggggg these symptoms go away in the next week or so. and i'm hoping you have a much easier time and they let up for you soon!!!

@Ash: When did you take it? I am self-medicating with 50mg B6 morning and night, and 12.5mg (1/2 tab) unisom at night. I'm wondering if I need to take more or ask for a Rx?

@macintosh: I had 24/7 nause from week 6 to week 22. I was on Zofran from weeks 8-22, but after week 17 I was able to cut down on the amount of Zofran I was taking because I started to slowly improve.

Like, I still felt sick all the time but slightly less sick every week until the end of week 22 when I started feeling normal again. I was SO HAPPY it went away because I was starting to think I would be sick until I deliver.

I def started to feel better after 12 weeks. I hope you get better soon!

Mine eased up around 16 weeks. Hope it doesn't last so long for you!!

I started to feel a little better after 15 weeks but it still came and went. I'm now 27 weeks and I still get nauseous/vomit a couple of times a week.

@macintosh: it's pretty normal to have morning sickness until 16 weeks, especially if it was bad in the first tri! Mine went all the way through

Last pregnancy I felt better from 16 weeks on but had one week of nausea again around week 22.

Right now I'm about 11w and it seems to have been better the last couple days but I've thrown up a lot more than last time.

@macintosh: how have you been feeling? I hope it is working for you!

@macintosh: I'm so sorry. I was extremely ill with both, all 9 months, on Zofran and had to get an IV because I was so dehydrated, and mine was also worse at night. I ended up not able to take a prenatal because it would make me vomit up everything, and a little food is better in your system than nothing at all. Zofran helps with the actual vomiting most of the time, but not the horrendous, constant nausea. Some things that helped a little for me were: chewing spearmint gum ONLY (other flavors were not ok for me), cold things like slurpees and Popsicles would settle my stomach a little for a few minutes. It's apparently common with HG (hyperemesis gravidarum- what I had), to crave coke or Pepsi, and the nurse told me that if that was what I could keep down, I had a free pass to drink it all day long. I didn't- but I had one a day, or a coke slurpee. I could stomach super cold red Gatorade. Water was a no-go and caused vomiting, but adding a splash of lemonade or cranberry juice worked. Try and stay hydrated as hard as that is, because dehydration can make you feel worse. I promise, you'll get through it. It seems like a long road, but the day will come when you're in the hospital, cuddling your sweet baby, and chowing down on the entire hospital food menu. Hang in there
