Nausea has stopped at 7 weeks - nothing I can do for reassurance?

[user1487755366]

Hi all,

Depending on which app I use I'm between 7 weeks exactly and 7+3.
My earliest symptoms around 4.5 weeks were sore boobs and then the most horrendous nausea from 5.5 weeks until Wednesday this week. I was totally non functional - gagging and off loads of food. I bought those travel sickness bands from the internet which took the edge of but felt very very ill. I've been wearing them since Monday.

As of yesterday, I feel fine - boobs a achey to the touch but no nausea. I'm so worried that something's gone wrong and that this is a big hormone drop before a miscarriage. Could it be the travel sickness bands are that much of a miracle cure and took 4 days to kick in -I'm wearing them round the clock.

There really isn't anything I can do for reassurance is there? I don't want to book a private scan because of Covid 19 and most of my local clinics aren't offering them for several weeks anyway. Has anyone else experienced this and been fine? 12-13 weeks seems so far away and I'm scared of a missed miscarriage.

Thank your lucky stars your sickness has stopped OP! Some women aren't so lucky.
It's totally normal that your symptoms come and go as your pregnancy progresses.
I thankfully didn't have sickness, but one minute I felt normal and the next I felt like I'd been ran over!
Headaches, pains etc, come and go for me.
If you're concerned have a chat with your midwife, but you sound normal to me 👍🏻

No not at all.

I have two children and had nausea in the first few months. There were the odd couple of days here and there that I felt great. I remember with my first around 9 weeks after feeling sick as a dog for three weeks, I woke up and felt fine and had energy. I managed to clean my bathroom etc that day (it's stuck in my head) I just had bursts of energy. Then around 11-14 weeks I had more good days than bad.

It's natural to worry. But unless your in pain and bleeding there's nothing to fear. I had bleeds too with my second baby. He's two now!

That is an extremely unhelpful thing to say to a woman stressing about lack of symptoms. Most of the time it’s nothing, but sometimes lack of symptoms can be bad news.
Not going to say this is happening to the op (Like I said - many people have no symptoms at all- but for many women a drop in symptoms can mean MMC), but this did happen to me and I certainly did not “thank my lucky stars” my symptoms dropped, and I certainly didn’t think I was luckier than those women who had bad morning sickness.

@bee222 you will note from the final portion of my post that if OP is concerned then to talk to her midwife, as I'm not a professional, I'm speaking from my own personal experience.
This forum is not designed to scare the crap of people or put them down for commenting on personal experience, but to be there for each other and help each other out.
Pregnancy is scary enough it is. Especially if people are first time mums to be.

I'm in a similar boat - I've not been sick for several days now but still feel like I've been hit by a bus. With my first baby I was sick daily from weeks 5-13 so I'm even more paranoid. I think you just have to wait it out unfortunately - lots of women sail through without much in the way of symptoms, one of my friends just glows from conception to birth!

Thank you for the replies and the advice - nausea is back today (not as bad as before) and I notice it's worse without the travel sickness bands so I'm going to try and keep my anxiety in check :)

Best wishes to everyone

Mine come and go OP - I have days where I feel too sick to move and days where I am ok. From all that I’ve read it’s very normal
