Still really sick at 15 weeks

I'm 15 weeks pregnant with second child and still feeling really, really sick and exhausted. Sickness stopped at 12 weeks the first time around and I was depending on the same happening again! Plus this week I have actually been sick twice which was not happening before. Any tales of hope that anyone can give me? Thanks!

Also, I haven't put on any weight and don't show at all. If I hadn't seen the scans I would think something was wrong. I want to start feeling well and blooming!

I was vomiting about 5+ times a day until 16 weeks with DS although the nausea lasted a lot longer. It could be a hormone spike? If you are getting to the not being able to cope point you could see your doc about anti emetics?

It is horrendous though. I have a toddler and am as sick as a dog again...and only 8 bloody weeks in!

It's horrible when it goes past 12w! I was sick until about 24w, which I know is not what you really want to hear, but just do you don't think that it might go on forever. I remember having a massive breakdown at around 15/16w because I felt I couldn't manage anymore, especially having gone past that magic 12w date without feeling any better.

On the upside, I could have run a marathon in my last trimester - compared to the first two, when everyone else was feeling heavy and rubbish, I was skipping through the daisies with glee, anything was better than feeling sick! Oh and I ate like a horse too for those last few months. It was amazing.

I knew it was too good to be true! I'm 12 weeks and I vomited 3 times already today. So much for easing up.
Bless you OP it's terrible! My poor DS is so bored but I have no energy to do anything other than play racecars (remote controlled thank goodness!) and drawing/painting Sad Cbeebies is my saving grace today.

Worst part is I didn't suffer one day with DS, no nausea, sore breasts, or heartburn. Nothing! I was so lucky; guess this is payback for complaining that my pregnancy was taking too long when I should've enjoyed it! bah
