Morning sickness getting worse at 11 weeks

[quesadillas]

Morning,

As the title says, I'm 11 weeks with #2 and the nausea is getting worse by the day. I'm not actually being sick, but I feel horrendous. I'm not eating much, losing weight and have no energy. I had it last time, but I don't recall it getting worse at this point. I've had no positive thoughts or excitement about this pregnancy yet because of how ill I feel.

The only consolation is that while I'm feeling sick, it means there's something definitely in there! I've got no sign of a bump so otherwise I wouldn't know. I'm just praying that the pregnancy works out OK - I always wanted two children but if something awful were to happen, I absolutely could not do this again. I apologise if that sounds insensitive, I don't mean it to.

I just feel so bad I don't know what to do.

Morning OP, sorry to hear you're feeling awful, have you spoken to your GP? You can get medication to help if you're struggling, my only advice (which I'm sure you've heard before) is rest plenty, eat little and often and have whatever you fancy, drink lots. Morning sickness is awful, I've had a shock this pregnancy at how hard it's been (I'm 11 weeks tomorrow) given that my with my previous two it didn't last all day and I had energy for DS1, this time around I am finding it much harder.

I'm counting the days to 12 weeks when we're generally expected to feel better, I hope for you that you get some respite soon and in the meantime be as kind to yourself as you can be.

I haven't spoken to GP yet. I wasn't sure anything could be done for feelings of nausea without vomiting. Also, it seems to have ramped up in the last week, so haven't had a chance. Maybe I'll try and get an appointment this week.

I think I was finally free last time at about 15-16 weeks. Having a toddler probably isn't helping my ability to rest and take it easy - I work p/t so my days off are quite full-on with him. I come to work for a rest!

Let's hope we all feel better soon!

My nausea started getting worse around 11 weeks as well. It really shocked me as I thought I was supposed to be getting better by then - first baby as well, so didn't know what to expect. I started imagining that it was just going to keep on getting worse! All better by around 14 weeks though - I hope it's the same for you!

I think it is caused by hormone changes, so perhaps the nausea is being caused by a sudden drop in hormone levels? I hope so quesadillas because that means you're well on the way to improving :)

Hi quesadillas, sorry to hear you're feeling so bad. I know just how you're feeling tho as I could have literally written your exact post myself this morning. I have just registered to post the same and saw your post. I too have not really been sick but the nausea is horrendous and just so debilitating. I can't sleep at night as I just feel so sick. I can't look forward to anything as feel so ill and it's really getting me down. Like you, it's got worse rather than better.
I really hope we are both near the end of this phase and it doesn't last for ages. I was wondering whether the doctor would be able to help with just nausea too?

I hadn't heard of the drop in hormones causing more sickness. Fingers crossed I'll feel better soon.

I've come home from work early. I might take tomorrow off to try and get some rest, see if that helps.
