Almost everyone I know had morning sickness so bad that they had medication for it. Some were so sick that they had to go to the hospital a few times. My mother likes to remind people that she was sick for 9 months straight. Anything I google has anecdotes about horrible severe all-day morning sickness. I'm 6 weeks today and so far, I'm queasy all the time, but I can make it better for an hour by eating something and not letting myself get too tired. Any chance that I'll just stay queasy or is morning sickness almost always terrible?
-
I never threw up. I felt like I would a lot.... but never did. I think I got lucky because I got really bad migraines and one can only handle so much sickness.
-
I'm one of the lucky ones who didn't have even a hint of morning sickness. It took a lot of peeing on sticks to keep confirming that I still was really pregnant, because I was so asymptomatic. I'm just waiting for my payback, maybe my labor will be horrible or something.
-
Nope. I never threw up. I felt nauseous if there wasn't enough food in my stomach for maybe 4 weeks, tops, but it was never bad. It was kind of how you feel if you take a multi vitamin on an empty stomach, and eating always made it go away.
-
I got nauseous one time and it was because I was upset. Other than that, I didn't even have a hint of morning sickness.
-
I needed medication and that made it 'still bad, but I could function'. I'm 18 weeks now and still nauseous but don't need meds as often.
My mother was also sick for 9 months straight. I guess it's just "luck of the draw!"
-
I had basically 0 morning sickness. Actually I felt best in the mornings and only felt mildly queasy when a) I ate things I can no longer palate (lentil soup), or b) a lot of times in the evenings. Even then I wasn't really "queasy", more just didn't have an appetite. But I got off super easy.
-
First time I felt sick for about 2 weeks, I never threw up though. Second time I felt nauseous for the first 13 weeks pretty much every single day all day long and only threw up twice (once because there was a hair in my throat and I gagged getting it out and once because I was soooo hungry).
-
I've sailed through the first tri with only a few bouts of queasiness. I found as long as I was always eating I could keep it completely at bay. The result - I've put on 8lb in 10 weeks. Oops!!!!
-
From 6 weeks on (currently almost ten weeks) I've been queasy or nauseous but haven't thrown up. But it definitely got worse after 6 weeks. I'd like to thi k I'm through the worst of it though!
-
I didn't have any morning sickness at all. Of my five closest girlfriends, only one had morning sickness where she actually threw up regularly, the others were either mildly nauseous or had no MS at all.
-
I was nauseated all day and threw up regularly (usually after 6:00 PM) until about 14 weeks. I am 15 weeks 4 days and I'm finally feeling like myself again.
-
I had about 3 weeks of queasiness, never threw up. Totally luck of the draw.
-
I had severe morning sickness, lost too much weight from throwing up and had to be put on Zofran. This was a miracle drug for me and I was able to eat and live again. Started around 8 weeks, put on drug at 12.
-
I had a little nausea but only when I ate too much or not enough. And I actually got sick only twice but both times I was super tired and had eaten too much.
A lot of people I know have had horrible morning sickness. In fact, when I first told people I was pregnant, they kept telling me how I was going to have weeks of sickness and some days when I couldn't even get out of bed.
-
I threw up several times a day for 24 weeks. It was awful. I should have taken meds, but I didn't. Most people I know either didn't have any sickness at all, or it was only a bit of nausea.
-
Actually, everyone I know IRL has been like you, queasy but no vomiting...it might get worse a bit later on but regardless, I say consider yourself lucky bc I threw up at least 3x a day every single day from Week 5-Week 11...
-
I threw up nearly every morning from 7 weeks to 15 weeks, then Monday mornings only until 23-24 weeks. I was nauseous pretty much the whole time, and lost about 10 pounds in the first tri. After that I didn't feel nauseous but I never had much of an appetite for the remainder of the pregnancy. Never got medication for it though.
Isn't it the worst to want to be pregnant so badly for so long, then feel absolutely wretched when it does happen!
-
I was nauseous from week 6-15 for my first pregnancy. I was nauseous and threw up a lot for my current pregnancy starting at week 13-week 19. I feel pretty good right now at 22 weeks!
-
I had all day nausea from week 6 to about week 20...I threw up less than 10 times. I told my husband the worst part is the nonstop nausea...one week of all day nausea is manageable but after several weeks it definitely starts to get to you. I remember thinking I would not be able to handle another pregnancy but when it finally broke it never came back and I can barely remember it now
-
I never threw up! I got nausea around week 6, but if I ate consistently every 3 hours, it stayed away. And then a couple weeks later, I stopped noticing it altogether!
-
I needed medication and even that didn't completely help.
-
I never threw up, only got queasy. And even that only lasted for maybe 3 or 4 weeks (starting around week 7). There were a few days when I felt like I couldn't eat anything, and at the time I thought it was awful. But looking back on it, it really wasn't bad at all.
-
No morning sickness at all here.
-
@smocks: I also had zero morning sickness/nausea and also has a great labor/delivery so it is possible to get lucky with both
-
I never threw up but was very nauseous for a couple of months.
-
I'm 8w1d and so far, I've just had nausea. Nothing worse than putting me off food for a couple hours or indigestion/food aversion after I eat. Not everyone gets awful morning sickness. My mom, aunt and grandma swear they were never sick at all!
-
@smocks: @hilsy85: I also had no morning sickness at all and a great labor and delivery! Perhaps there's a genetic component to morning sickness - my mother didn't have any morning sickness for either of her pregnancies.
-
I was not sick at all. Sore breasts and super hungry were my symptoms.
-
I threw up maybe 5 or 6 times total. I had constant nausea starting around 7 or 8 weeks, but was able to control it by eating small, but heavy/filling meals and snacks constantly (bread, a side of mashed potatoes, etc). But then at 11/12 weeks I threw up, and the nausea got worse (sometimes leading to actually throwing up) until I was 16 weeks along. I always threw up in the morning, always felt better afterwards, and was able to go on with my day.
-
I never threw up but felt queasy a few times in the first trimester. It only happened if I had an empty stomach. I tried keeping saltine crackers close by and would eat them to combat the queasiness.
-
I was very lucky, mostly nauseous and gagging when I smelled something I didn't like. But never throwing up, all of that went away around the 15-16 week mark.
-
I felt queasy everyday from about 6 weeks to 13-14 weeks, but never threw up. I had to eat something small hourly from about 6am-1pm to keep the nausea manageable.
