When was your morning sickness low point?

[Bouncycastle12]

I’m seven weeks, and feeling pretty grim. I’ve had one baby, but can’t remember the low point. I feel like I was getting better at 14 weeks, but not sure. Hoping this is as bad as it gets!

Bless you OP. I remember getting home from my 12 week scan and not even making it into the house, I had to throw up in the garden! I really do feel for you. I would say my Lowest point was between 8 and 12 weeks

Oh no! Was hoping this was going to be as bad as it gets. Have MOUNTAINS of work to do and I am self-employed so not sure what to do... can’t concentrate at all.

arpund 8 to 9 for me then gradually got better till no nausea at 13 ish weeks

My worse was 7-12 weeks with first and then about 6-14 weeks with second, so I know it's horrible! I hope you're coping ok. I will say that once you kind of get used to the shock of feeling bad and being sick a lot, you learn to manage it a little better... hope you're ok! I got some tablets from the doctors which did help a bit, I also found second time around that the travel sickness bracelet things you can get did help with the general nausea

Weeks 7-9 for me. I just lay on the sofa trying not to move. The smell of anything cooking and even opening a kitchen cupboard was overwhelming but it did ease off week 10 onwards.

I feel for you OP, it really is the worst feeling 🤮

It’s the exhaustion and complete inability to concentrate which is breaking me! And stress of having so much work to do - and just not being able to do it at all. But then wondering if I’ve just got to force myself through it. But honestly don’t know if I can. Thanks though, all of you. Fingers crossed this doesn’t go on too long.

Weeks 7-9 were horrendous. My boss was on leave week 8 and it was great because I was able to work from bed with a bucket next to me!

Probably when I was around 10-12 weeks, I was vomiting and my 2 year old banged the toilet lid down on my head. That was the low point of my whole life I'd say.

6-12 weeks with my first. A particular low light was vomming in bin on the street in a European capital while on holiday.

Only sick twice with my second so that was a relief.

@RaisinGhost that sounds horrible, poor you! My toddler used to try and take my sick bucket off me as it was getting more attention than her! I guess she thought if she took it away I would stop using it 🤣

Week 7-8 was my worst by far.

My low point was having to leave my trolley full of shopping in Asda to rush outside. I went back to retrieve it, but it wasn't where I'd left it.

The whole thing, weeks 5 - 15, where hellish.

For me, around week 13 was the worst mentally. It had just felt like it had gone on so long, and people kept saying 'it should ease at 12 weeks', which it didnt.

Low point specifically for me was week 11, when my SIL decided to say MS 'isnt that bad' so 'stop complaining', and it was my 'punishment' for getting pregnant, and I knew what I was getting into, so I cant expect sympathy. The same day I had to run off from a zoom meeting with students to puke (I was teaching online during lockdown). I think they heard me.

Week 8, I managed to throw up on top of the toilet seat because, despite sprinting, I didn't make it in time. I'm week 10 now and feeling marginally better if I make sure I eat little and often, although it still comes in waves.

Have you all told family you're pregnant (if you're before 12 weeks)? I'm worried it's still too early but we have plans this weekend and I don't think I can hide it –I'm off everything that I normally love!

Around week 9 I think.
I was 14 weeks at Christmas and was able to eat a pretty normal amount of Christmas dinner without any nausea provided I didn’t let myself get too hungry throughout the day.

I'm currently in this stage, nausea all day everyday and the evenings for me are the worst!

I'm 9+5 and it's been like this since around 5 weeks... I don't remember feeling this bad with my other 2 but I am 7 years older now 🤪

I think my lowest point was at 7 weeks... had thrown up in docs for the 10th or so time that day. Had to go to hospital, 4+ ketones from dehydration and an infection in my bladder (I hadn't drank or eaten anything for 4 days). I couldn't even drive I was so poorly. Im 16 weeks now and still have hyperemesis and on tablets. Been off sick since August and have a really understanding family, husband, doctor. I got better after 20 weeks with my first so hoping that's the same with this pregnancy. What us women go through!

We told immediate family, so my sister and parents, and DHs sister and parents, at about 8 weeks.

I figured if I had a miscarriage I would tell them anyway for support so I didnt see the point in not telling. Also, I had such bad MS I just couldnt hide it. On my first pregnancy I 'announced' it in work at 14 weeks. They all smiled and said 'we know'. I had been a puking zombie for the 8 weeks prior.

Thanks @SqidgeBum, I think that's the line of thinking we're taking. It just feels so daunting to be telling people! But they'll definitely notice when I'm sprinting off to the loo for my zillionth vom of the day

Urgh, well at least I’m not alone. We def only want two so this is the last time I’m doing this. Yuk. Thanks everyone!

7-9 weeks here too, low points include throwing up on myself first thing in the morning, throwing up in a Tupperware box in the car, throwing up out the window of the car.
I know 100 percent these covid masks have made things 100x worse, every time I have to wear one I feel more nauseous and even thinking about them makes me feel sick, anyone else feel the same about the masks?

Week 8 admitted to hospital with HG.

Was sick until 4 hours after I gave birth 40 + 3

I couldn't open my eyes from week 8 until week 13.

I sympathise with anyone who has morning sickness. It does end.

I think I was about 8 weeks when I threw up in a patient’s sink while trying to insert her epidural. And then ditto in A and E after failing to resuscitate a dead baby brought in by the paramedics after a cot death an hour from the hospital.
But those were the only times I vomited in either of my pregnancies. I just used to feel nauseous cooking dinner in the evening.

Oh God i was sick throughout but it was worse weeks 6-12 because I also wasn’t telling people yet so had to do secret sick. No fun.

Low points for me were....

• being sick driving round a roundabout. Trying to hold a sick bag and steer properly. I thought I’d aimed well into my sick bag.... I hadn’t...
• vomiting so violently I wet myself too (happened multiple times)
• having to get off a packed tube to throw up because I was standing up with nothing to hold on to while I puked
• leaping out of the car (had got DH to pull over) desperately trying in the 30 seconds notice my body had given me to find the least awful spot to Throw up in. It was right outside a pub and I did not find an”good place”. Had to ask the landlady for a bucket of soapy water.

So grim.

For me it was between 6 and 16 weeks. Remember being devastated that it didn't magically dissappear after 12 weeks. I was house hunting at the time and regularly vomited on the street outside places we were viewing. Narrowly avoided being sick inside any of the places we were viewing. Awful times! Hope it passes soon!!
