When does morning sickness stop getting worse?

[SickAndTiredAgain]

Im currently 8w2d and really miserable. At the moment my morning sickness is getting worse every day. When does it peak? I know some people have it until the end, I know I could still have months and months left, but at the moment I’d be happy if it just plateaued, I’m finding the daily worsening quite hard to cope with psychologically. I’m taking cyclizine already which I think does help but the nausea is still severe.

So, when did yours peak? I vaguely have in my head that once I get to 10 weeks, I will probably have hit as bad as it’s going to get - and that’s fine, I can then handle that even if it then remains steady for a while with no improvement. It’s the constant worsening that I really hate, the increasing list of things I cannot tolerate, and the feeling every day when I go to bed that tomorrow I’ll be worse.

My midwife always said 12 weeks, BUT for my first it lasted till 20 weeks and my second it lasted the whole duration, unfortunately.
Just know that there is medication that can really help if it carries on, so you should ask your GP about this.

You can go to pregnancy sickness support which has some really good advice online

My midwife always said 12 weeks, BUT for my first it lasted till 20 weeks and my second it lasted the whole duration, unfortunately.

Was there a point where it stopped getting worse though?

With my first I had it until about 14 weeks, but I didn’t have this ramping up that I’m having now. It hit quite suddenly at about 6 weeks, and then just stayed at that level until it suddenly disappeared. I think I found that easier to cope with.

Yes week 10 for me

Weeks 9/10 were the peak for me then it slowed before stopping. Take care and I hope it eases soon

Thanks, that’s reassuring. I know it sounds like I’m obsessing a bit but I don’t handle nausea/vomiting that well generally, and this week my toddler has had a vomiting bug and I’ve been a bit stressed about getting that because I don’t want it on top of the morning sickness.

It doesn't sound that way at all! I really struggled with the sickness too and found it hard not knowing when it would get better. By about 12 weeks I had stopped being ill every day and it was just now and then. I hope you avoid the bug!

I was really struggling with my morning sickness and similar was concerned I’d never get to the end! I was on tablets for about two weeks from weeks 7-9 because I was so bad. I came off in week 9, a little bit paranoia due to baby side effects and partly because I was being sick the second I opened my eyes in a morning so actually tablets weren’t helping that much.
I found mine started to ease off by week 10, being sick every other day instead of every day and from week 11, where I am now (nearly at 12), I’ve only been sick this once and the nausea during the day has totally gone. I was also really tired and found I’ve only taken one nap this week too so it does get better and you’ll see the end. I would say weeks 7-9 were my worst bit.

I also caught that not covid bug in week 7 which made me doubly as worse, every time I coughed I threw up so if you do catch your toddlers bug, I would prepare for some time unwell and off work if you do work.

Mine was till the 12 week mark. I was bedridden for 2 weeks with a 1 yr old. Not fun. Thankfully I stayed at my parents whilst DH stayed at home to go to work. It just made sense that way at the time

I was on the same boat as you with ds1 and I was diagnosed with having hyperemeisis gravidarum. It just got worse and worse. My morning sickness peaked at around 10/11 weeks and then gradually got better. I still vomited on occasion but it wasn't half as bad. The last time I was sick was the morning of my 20 weeks scan.

Weeks 9/10 were the worst for me with both my pregnancies (currently 14 weeks with #2) and then got much better after 12 week mark x

11 weeks tomorrow and mine has gone (for now). I've been eating like a mad woman today! I hope you feel better soon x

Weeks 8-10 were my worst then after that it gradually got better.

Mine disappeared at 16 weeks but it was awful every day before that. It didn't subside, literally just hideous each day and then nothing.

Currently 15w1d and mine went away at 11w5d.

Mine got worse and worse until it peaked around week 14 or 15. I am currently 18w2d and I have started to notice an improvement over the last few days. Am still being sick everyday though, and am on Cyclizine
