You are not alone!
I was sick 5 times a day until 5 months...then everyday until 6 months, then every week or so until the birth!

It's awful. I also had migraines frequently but they stopped around 4/5 months and after that I didn't even get a headache (which was fab as I usually have many migraines).

Lots of women suffer from sickness and other stuff during pregnancy but I agree it is depressing when you seem to be the only one! I was pregnant at the same time as a colleague who sailed through her pregnancy with no problems at all

But I know someone else who was wheelchair bound from 7 months because of SPD so I wasn't the worst by a long way.

Hope you feel better soon

Another one suffering here. I am 30+3 today and still being sick. Today is especially bad, I feel awful. Brilliant yellow bile pukes this morning. Just rubbish.

Oh God, me too. 18 weeks today and have just been so sick I feel dizzy. This will be my third baby and neither of the other two pregnancies were anything like this bad . I feel constantly sick, day and night. Actually this stage is worse than the first trimester when I could stave off sickness by eating salty crackers or crisps. Nothing is helping now other than lying down all the time!

Just feel so guilty as I so wanted to make the most of the rest of the summer hols with my two lovely DCs, and I can't. I just feel too rough. They are both being so good but all I'm capable of is lying on the sofa whilst they watch TV. And I'm so grumpy with them both because I feel so awful. I'm so hoping I start feeling better soon, for their sakes never mind my own.

Nice to know its not just me!!
Everyone keeps saying its gets better!! But i think im actually gonna b like this til baby is here!!

I'm sure it will get better! I remember about 17w being the lowest point for me, I was still on the tablets and still throwing up 2 or 3 times a day, I thought it would never get better. But at about 24w it started to get better and even though I stayed on the tablets until the end of my pregnancy, I had a good 15w or so of only feeling nauseous and not throwing up so much.

If it helps, I spent the last month or two of pg feeling glorious because I wasn't being sick, just when everyone else started to get knackered and feel huge! So there may well be a silver lining Hope you start to feel better soon.

I'm sure it will get better...after the birth

I also felt good after 7 months and actually really great after the birth. No more tiny pea-sized bladder and I gave birth in France where they give you painkillers for 2 weeks after the birth so I actually felt pretty good and very little pain.

Thankyou ladies for all your comments!! Really helping me get through it xx

I thought i was going to puke until ds came too, was especially bad around 16 weeks but had gone entirely by 20 weeks. Hang on in there
