Feeling sorry for myself here, 7 weeks and feeling so so sick. Also an emetophobic :( Does sickness sometimes go away earlier than 14 weeks? Just looking for stories to cheer me up.

6-27 weeks Sad

DS1 - 30 weeks
DS2 - 30 weeks
DS3 - 40 weeks

all started at 6 weeks. I found eating whatever I fancied helped most and also sucking sweets. Don't chew hard sweets though as it's like puking up glass if you're sick.

Started about 6-7 weeks and eased significantly by 18-20 weeks. Eating a bowl of Cheerios every hour seemed to be the only cure :)

I had anti-sickness pills from the doctor which meant I was only actually sick every other day(ish) although still felt nauseous pretty much all the time (except when eating Cheerios).

I've had sickness since about week 3 before I'd even missed my period. On week 8 now and my sickness, whilst it hasn't disappeared it has lessened this week.(Though it has been replaced by exhaustion and mega boob pain!!)
Eating little and often has really helped me get through the past few weeks.

Started about 7 weeks and I began to feel better at 17 weeks ish. But during this time I hardly vomited, it was all nausea and retching. This is my first pregnancy.

Eating little and often is a good idea, and doing what you need to do to get through it. If that means eating a certain amount of crap, so be it. You need nutritious food yes, but you also need calories. There's no point eating perfectly balanced healthy meals and chucking them straight up again. I found I really couldn't eat anything I didn't want to eat- I'd just heave over it. Lots of people find starchy, carby stuff helpful and also 'dainty' things that are easy to eat. Like grapes, bits of chopped apple and carrot, little biscuits.

Sorry to hear you are so poorly.

I was sick from week 7 to week 11 with DS1 and week 7 to 18 with DC2.

Started at 5/6 weeks eased off at 22weeks. (hyperemisis) i had it with both pregnancies. I don't think I could go through it again- twas truley awful! I still have the occasional vom. (36w3 now)

Ugh I feel dreadful today. Nothing seems to work - the only time I feel ok is while I'm eating - I wish I could just eat non stop all day :)

This is a nasty surprise, with my last pregnancy I didn't feel sick at all really, although it did end in miscarriage.

Started getting better at 9/10 weeks and was pretty much gone by 12 weeks each time. This is the most common scenaria btw - HCG peaks at 8-10 weeks and thus usually sickness is at it's worst at this point. I think on most questions like this you attract a very high number of answers from people who are sick for extended times but try not to worry it's likely you will be fine between 12 and 14 x
