When does the nausea stop?

I've been feeling quite nauseous for the past week or two (although I haven't actually been sick, so I don't have it anywhere near as bad as some people!)

I was wondering how much longer the nausea will last - is it true that you start to feel better after 12 weeks?

I can just about deal with it, but feeling sick all the time isn't ideal!

My Dr told me it might start to improve after 9 weeks and the midwife said most women are back to normal by 15 weeks!
I'm nearly 10 weeks now and have had some better days but it's definitely still here even though I'm taking phenergan for it.

I have HG and in previous pregnancies it has calmed down by 20 weeks. I'm currently 7+5 and literally dying and can't see an end (although I know deep down there is a light at the end of the tunnel I just can't see it). I'm also on phenergan and only feel better when I'm sleeping :(

A lot of people see improvement by 12 weeks. Some have it all the way until the baby is born. I think it depends on the person.

Good luck. I know how awful it is xx

Mine lasted until the day my waters broke at 33 weeks. It was a horrible pregnancy

LolaSmiles · 18/09/2019 15:07

Mine lasted on and off until 19/20 weeks.

When DS was born in my case! Not what you want to hear, but it's a lot more common than I realised before I got pregnant! One in twenty apparently...

I’m 13+4 and feel like I’ve just turned a corner with it. I still get a bit nauseous but nowhere near as bad as I was even a few days ago.

First pregnancy - HG, vomiting stopped for the most part around 20w but nausea persisted until basically the end.

Current pregnancy - no HG, just normal morning sickness and vomiting and nausea both eased around 16w.

I had bad sickness until week 20. It's different for everyone.

tacosplease · 18/09/2019 15:54

Thanks all. To be honest I feel bad even asking about it, as other people's experiences sound a lot worse than mine.

I just have a feeling of nausea that seems to come and go in waves, along with a weird "hung over" feeling. I don't fancy eating much other than bland stuff like pasta and potatoes either.

For me it stopped at about 14 weeks

yellowmelon · 18/09/2019 16:55

I still had bouts of nausea until week 18.

Jollitwiglet · 18/09/2019 20:45

I'm 31 weeks and still nauseous. For many women it stops when you hit the second trimester, but if you're unfortunate it can last the whole way through

Walnutwhipster · 18/09/2019 20:45

At birth with all three.

Alarae · 18/09/2019 20:50

Currently 17+4. Still nauseous.

AryaNoOne · 18/09/2019 20:56

About 18 weeks for me so sorry I’m another not at 12 week-er. However one nice thing is I have been feeling amazing since then - loads of energy, no nausea. I’m 27 weeks now and hoping this stage lasts for a while!

Last pregnancy, 20 weeks although it persisted at a low level throughout but completely bearable.

This time, I’m 14 weeks with HG pregnancy no.2 and it’s still pretty awful. Praying for a 20 weeks miracle!

These boards will attract people with more difficult pregnancies or more anxieties about pregnancy etc, it’s worth bearing in mind. If I was sailing thorough pregnancy, I doubt I’d have much to talk about nor be seeking the support of others on here. The vast majority of people do start to feel better in the second trimester, which is either 12 or 14 weeks (seems to be a difference in opinion in when you move over!).. but I think it’s more common than you realise to have some recurrent nausea throughout pregnancy or it randomly flare up again for a few days here & there! Your stomach & intestines are so squashed as baby gets bigger!
