Pregnancy

If you got morning sickness when did it start / end?

I'm 4+1 with no sickness at all but concerned about long haul flights at 7+2 and 8+5 because I have travel anxiety and if I'm feeling sick it will be unmanageable.

It's a work trip so I can't back out without telling them why (obviously won't be doing that).

So my question is if you got morning sickness what week of pregnancy did it start / end?

Thanks in advance lovely MNetters

Thanks all, I'm still feeling fine but if I start to get queasy before the trip (in 3wks time) I'll try to sort some meds. I'll speak to GP about it tomorrow anyway.

I think it really varies. First pregnancy was about 6-16 weeks. This time probably about 9-13 so much better.

Mine started straight away and along with aching boobs was what made me take a test (found out at 4 wks).

At 24wks I'm still suffering with morning sickness although it is a lot better. In first trimester it wasn't morning sickness but all day sickness!

DC1 mild for a few weeks. DC2 spend a total of 17 nights admitted to hospital with severe morning sickness. And there was only 2 years between them! So think it's a piece of string type question. Sorry!

Hope you feel better soon.

Mine started about 6 weeks, was atrocious from 9 weeks and only started to get better around 18 weeks. I still have dodgy moments now, at 23 weeks.

I've been on cyclizine since about 10-11 weeks and it has been brilliant. If you're suffering before you go away definitely see your doctor and ask to be prescribed something.

Incy the only time I've felt sick so far is when I had a late night / got too empty.

Gonna have shitty jet lag though argh!!

Mine started at about 10 weeks and finally settled down at around 16 weeks, the only thing that helped was making sure not to get hungry or too tired.

Everyone is different though, hopefully you might be lucky enough to avoid it completely...

Thanks for all the replies.. sounds like it's pretty common to kick in around 6-7 weeks argh I really hope I get away with it!

Maud did you get anti sickness meds for the flights? I don't normally get travel sick but I do get anxious so normally take diazepam/ Valium.

Started around 6 weeks and continued up until and during labour. But it wasn't actually that bad, I'd need to. Omit, nip to the loo and throw up and be fine again 5 minutes later.

Weeks 6-16.
I just had nausea with dc1, mild sickness with dc2 and I was a vomiting mess with dc3, so I think it gets worse the more kids you have.
Good luck and congratulations on your pregnancy.

Meant to add that with dd1 I had no sickness at all, but this pregnancy with dd2 is completely opposite!

Started at 5 weeks and still going at 14 weeks (although slightly more manageable now, but I don't think it's going any time soon....)

Started almost instantly but by 7 weeks was horrendous. Let up briefly between 18 and 21 weeks then back again, I'm now 31 weeks and still nauseous.
Seabands helped me until about 24 weeks then seemed to stop, but nothing else really helped and I couldn't take anti sickness medication because of a medical condition and drug interaction.
Safe to say it sucks!!!

4 weeks to 10 weeks. Stopped as suddenly as it started.

Started at 5 weeks, finished at 25. I also had work trips (transatlantic flights) at 6 and 7 weeks. It was pretty grim. Ask your Gp for medication.

Sorry but it started 5 weeks in. I actually stopped vomiting about 25 weeks in. I felt nauseous until an hour after she was born.

6-12 weeks for nausea. Dreadful headaches until 16 weeks.

DC1 no sickness at all
DC2 week 3 until 23 non stop, I'm 25 weeks pregnant now and get it on and off

Varies between people and pregnancies though, I stupidly didn't think I would get it with this one as I didn't my first, how wrong I was lol
