Nausea has turned into dry heaving - normal?

So I've had some nausea on and off since week 5/6, only actually thrown up once. Since midway through week 10 my nausea has turned into dry heaving. It comes quite suddenly and I gag over the sink but nothing comes up. I'm a bit worried how it's turned into this since after week 10.

I read someone say online that your symptoms should start to wear off by week 12 and it if not then it could be a sign of a missed miscarriage? Freaking out...help anyone? X

I’ve dry heaved a few times. Haven’t really thought much of it. Mostly it seems to be after I’ve burped.

Some women experience sickness/nausea all through pregnancy so I wouldn’t necessarily panic that your symptoms aren’t “textbook” x

I’m still dry heaving at 21 weeks. It’s not nice but nothing to worry about.

I felt sick constantly from week 4 to week 8, but was never sick. Just a lot of random spitting. Then week 9 came and dry heaving, then from week 10-13.3 its turned into full on vomiting! Had my dating scan on Monday though and all was fine :)
The first 12 weeks are a constant worry though aren't they! Good luck with the rest of it :) xx

Normal. I’m still getting it at 22 weeks though the vomiting has gone now thank god.

Symptoms start to tail off by week 12....lies, I tell you, lies. It's more like 16 weeks.

My puking stepped up a gear at around 10 weeks, so I reckon you're still in the region of normality. Hopefully you'll be fine.

Sorry to tell you this but I did it with all of my kids until I gave birth. Loads of things set me off. Like change of temp, smells and certain foods. I sucked sweets sometimes which seemed to help. Just horrible I really feel for you. But once I had the baby it would go. Good luck xx

I’ve never heard that symptoms not wearing off could be a sign of m/c. Surely if they are getting stronger all the time that implies that the pregnancy is progressing as normal? Lots of people have sickness or nausea all the way through or on and off.

Nothisispatrick · 17/05/2018 21:31

Completely normal. My sickness, nausea and dry heaving didn't ease off until week 15

Still dry retching away at 20 weeks Sad

Thanks ladies! Reading your comments has made me relax...a lot :)

I suppose I should stay off google, those old forums really do make you sweat! X

It’s a sign of missed miscarriage if your symptoms wear off, not if they continue.

I am almost 16 weeks and I still dry heave sometimes. Certain smells trigger it and I just stand heaving and gipping for a minute- very glamorous.

I am 13 weeks and I dry heave at every little smell! My sickness feeling went a few weeks ago but now, if i think about something gross or go into a toilet at work that smells the slightest bit off im gagging like a trooper. Does my head in lol

Totally normal I'm afraid. I had exactly this and it's horrid! Occasionally I would actually vomit but mostly just dry heaving numerous times a day. I wore travel sickness bands constantly and they definitely helped as I felt much worse without them. It got better for me around 16/17 weeks. Congratulations by the way Smile
