To ask when your morning (all day) sickness stopped?

Have spoken about my severe morning (all day!) sickness on here before. Currently at 11+3 and wondering how far along you were before the sickness and nausea stopped?

It didn't! HG all the way through.

Only child because of that reason. The only way I could survive was binge eating. If my stomach was empty I would vomit non stop for the rest of the day. I gained 5 stone in total which was horrible!

DustyCropHopper · 14/09/2016 12:26

To be honest, with ds1 had sickness all day until the day I had him, with ds2 it stopped at about 15 weeks and with dd i didn't really have sickness, just nauseous feelings and that stopped around 12 weeks or so.

Mari50 · 14/09/2016 12:28

I was never sick but my nausea (11am until I went to sleep) lasted til 24 weeks and then the heartburn took over.

TellAStory · 14/09/2016 12:29

The only thing that stopped the nausea and vomiting for me was delivery!! First pregnancy I managed without medication but I was hospitalised at 7 weeks with my second and took medication right through. The medication did make me drowsy but helped me survive. I ate little and often and just accepted that I would probably end up vomiting most of it back! Milk / cheese were best avoided. I ate a lot of my mums home made veg soup, plain food in general, toast, and had a bit of a thing for fresh fruit like peaches, melon and pineapple, and also very cold squash.
It was wonderful to savour the post delivery toast - first thing in 9 months I could eat without the nausea!!!
I hope it passes for you op.

lostoldlogin2 · 14/09/2016 12:30

15 weeks more or less. Still spew once or twice a week more or less. But don't feel rough anymore (20 weeks)
You have my sympathies though. Nothing like it. Ugh.

liquidrevolution · 14/09/2016 12:33

It stopped about an hour after my DD was born. I vomited constantly and in the end the only food I could eat was prawn crackers (37 weeks on). Try explaining that to a doctor wanting you to do a eat special food glucose test. Confused

Was never hospitalised though as I could keep lemon squash down Hmm. Plain water made me very very ill so couldn't bath or shower (I used wet wipes to wash myself Sad).

I hope yours eases.

allthingsred · 14/09/2016 12:33

The day I gave birth😂😂 not helpful I know. Im another one with hg. It really is so awful to have. So 🌸🌹🌻🌼 & sympathy. Hope it starts to ease for you soon x

AliceThrewTheFookingGlass · 14/09/2016 12:34

With DC1 the day after giving birth

With DC2 it was about 2 days after birth.

Pregnancy sickness is fucking shit op you have my sympathies.

mummymeister · 14/09/2016 12:34

with half of mine it tapered off around 14 - 16 weeks and then came back 2 weeks before deliveries. with the other half right up until the day including one delivery where I was throwing up and trying to push at the same time! I did lose an awful lot of weight with this pregnancy and found that I ate only things that were easy to throw up like porridge and Weetabix. I also carried nappy sacks round with me to be sick in and knew where all the road drains were on the walk to school so could walk briskly between them. its a horrible memory and I feel loads of sympathy for women who have this. didn't feel like I bloomed at all!

SockQueen · 14/09/2016 12:52

Mine got hugely better around 16 weeks (having been on cyclizine since 11-12ish) and went completely around 20. I'm now overdue and am having some nausea again but I think that's more mechanical because there's no blinking space left in my abdomen!

I'm doomed aren't I Blush

I've been wondering how people lead a normal life with so much sickness, its just constant! My boss knows about the pregnancy so he has been really understanding.

cyclizine just didn't work for me unfortunately. I think I might have to keep the acupuncture topped up every now and then.

Don't get me started on the sore boobs Sad

So grateful for this pregnancy but sick of feeling like I have a daily hangover because of too much Vodka.

It will probably ease at least a little.....I had HG and it wasn't great throughout, but is was better after about 18 weeks. People being properly sick all the way till delivery is pretty rare - even for people as sick as you have been so far.

IceBeing · 14/09/2016 13:01

cyclizine is a crock. I went back to GP and said it didn't seem to be working and he said 'yeah it doesn't usually do anything'.

Well cheers for that!

Northernpowerhouse · 14/09/2016 13:02

3 pregnancies and each time it was all day until about 13/14 weeks then stopped. Dry toast, dry crackers and sips of lemonade saw me through it.

Hang on in there OP and rest/ accept as much help as you can get.

Diddlydokey · 14/09/2016 13:02

16 weeks, but lessened a lot in the couple of weeks before that just being bad if I was especially tired or thirsty

AliceThrewTheFookingGlass · 14/09/2016 13:08

Could you ask your GP for something else if cyclazine isn't helpful? I personally found ondandestrone to be amazing stuff.

fassbender · 14/09/2016 13:12

About 9 weeks with my first then 15 weeks with my 2nd. It was all day for me too, worse in the evening. Sucking on mints and sniffing lemon oil helped! Smile

fudgefeet · 14/09/2016 13:12

16 weeks it eased off a bit and I could add a few different foods to my diet of cherries and licorice. Probably about 24 weeks for my normal appetite to come back. It's crap but you have to just find something that you can keep down.

pointythings · 14/09/2016 13:16

21 weeks both times, and I was sick all day too - not much actual vomiting, just constant intense nausea. You have my sympathy.

SpookyPotato · 14/09/2016 13:19

Mine was bang on week 12 both times, and neither were just morning sickness.. Infact it was at its worst in the evening. I used to make myself sick for relief which made the nausea stop.

grannycake · 14/09/2016 13:23

Sorry - all the way through on all three pregnancies. Not what you wanted to hear I know

Vixxfacee · 14/09/2016 13:23

Still going at 21 weeks. On medication.

CPtart · 14/09/2016 13:35

About 15 weeks with DC1 and all the way through with DC2. I used to wake up in the night to throw up. Felt like I was slowly being 'poisoned'. But then I throw up when travelling , drunk etc etc. Horrible horrible.

It's good to know I'm not the only one, but you all have my sympathies. This is DC1. I cannot bare the thought of going through this again Sad

I will go back to my GP and see if they can prescribe anything better.

Currently trying to make my packet of dorritos last until 5pm by taking a tiny bite every few minutes. I just finished my lucozade and i don't want to drink water. Going to stock up on some fizzy drinks bottles tonight, diet ones preferably!

I threw up several times a day up until and including during my c section at 37+4. I did have twins though so doctor blamed it on twice as many hormones. Weirdly i found eating helped as i found having an empty stomach made me feel worse. Sour things helped too, i got some sour preggie pops from amazon which seemed to help. I hope you feel better soon Flowers
