Is it normal for sickness to get worse

Ok so I am 9 + 4 weeks and since 5 weeks have had pretty bad nausea. Was kept under control by regular food so although grim was copeable (if that's a word)

But week 8 on the dot start being sick about once or twice a day usually am and pm and it's gradually getting worse where it's now 6 times ish a day! Its completely involuntary and no indication apart from a little tickly cough before throwing up that its about to happen. What's all that about? I am just hoping that it's not going to get worse and worse. Am managing to stay hydrated etc but just wondered if anyone else experienced this?

Please say it's a peak in the sickyness and all will wear off VERY soon

Erm yes sorry - but think of it as a good sign. As pregnancy hormones increase so does the sickness but at least it's an indication the pregnancy is progressing in the right way.

I think week 10 is supposed to be the worst. For me i started feeling a lot better at 12 weeks and it was 10% gone by 14 weeks.

Sorry i mean 100% gone by 14 weeks! I think you are pretty much at the worst point now so try and take comfort in that :)

Yeah, sorry, 9-11 weeks is about the worst of it ime.

Mine didn't usually ease off until 13-16 weeks along, and not even completely then.

Mine stopped about 16 weeks. You have my sympathy. There are pills the drs can give you. I was on then from about 10 weeks

I wont tell you how long I was sick for as that just isnt helpful! But I found chubba lollys really helped the wet mouth. Hope you feel better soon, and just keep repeating "this soon shall pass" xxx
