Sickness peak at 9 weeks?

I'm now about 10 weeks, and having felt dreadful until now with nausea for the last few weeks, I feel like I've turned a corner, in that I can function again! I still feel sick, but all of a sudden it seems more bearable.
Now, I'm pleased I'm feeling slightly better, but also worried that something has gone wrong (there's no pleasing a pregnant lady, is there?!)
Any reassuring stories of similar experiences welcome Smile

(You'd think I'd be past the worrying now I'm on DC4, but apparently not...)

Hi Baldrick, I'm the same. Just 10weeks and (thank god) tentatively starting to feel a tiny bit better (praying that comment doesn't bring it back in full force!) I did read somewhere that it peaks at 9ish weeks and then starts to improve, so hoping all is well for both of us, and here's to less sickness!

I am also having exactly the same experience. I turn 10 weeks tomorrow and I am starting to feel a bit more normal again. I still have the nausea but not constantly, just in more specific waves. It's encouraging that this is happening to others at a similar time.

With my first, I felt worst at weeks 6-9 and so that would make sense that I am starting to feel better now with my second.

I'm sure all is ok, stay positive ladies Smile

For me ms peaked in week 9, then started to fade slowly but with a few relapses until week 14

I am 11 weeks and started to felt better about a week ago. I am also really worried because I don't really have any other pregnancy symptoms other than bloating and tiredness, which aren't even all that specific to pregnancy. I'm counting the days until my 12 week scan next week. I didn't expect pregnancy to turn me into such a nervous wreck!

DC4 for me too, plus two late first trimester losses, so my sixth time at this!! I'm very lucky in that my body does the exact same thing every time.

I usually start to feel bad beginning in week 5, then start the improvement around week 7-8 and feel loads better by week 9. I am literally counting the days, nearly 7 weeks now!! The summer holidays and three small children and a DH that works long hours are not helping!

I used to worry loads the first few times I started feeling better earlier than most people, especially as my losses occurred around then too, but I now know it is normal for me and I am bloody grateful I don't have to go through this as long as most people.
