At my wits end this morning with this sickness after disappearing for a few days I’ve been up for hours throwing up expected it to be getting better by now but it just seems to be getting worse! Doesn’t help that useless gp can never even pick up the phone nevermind get an appointment. Sat here in tears fed up of every single sip of any drink causing me to throw up again I just want to go back to sleep Confused

Yes it happened to me, dissappeared at 12 weeks and came back at 13weeks for about 3 days and then finally disappeared for good. During those 3 days it was very bad, before 12 weeks I had it once a day maybe 4-5 times a week. During those 3 days I was sick throughout the day multiple times. I didn’t understand why, and it was the day after the scan as well. It did fully go by the start of 14weeks though for me.

Hope it goes soon for you.

Just reading your thread after I have been sick for the 2nd time today and its not even lunchtime yet and all I have had is once slice of toast. I to am 12 weeks and have been feeling sick since week 6/7. I feel exhusted with it and just hoping this week is a turning point as many are telling me it will be. But I feel this week is my worst week so far as I am being sick more regularly. I have my data scan next week, if I am not feeling any better by then (13weeks) I will ask my GP or midwife if there is anything they can prescribe as I am now worrying all this retching isn't good for the baby either.
Thank you for your thread, although I don't wish this on any pregnent person, there is a small comfort from knowing your not alone even at 12 weeks.

Mrscass88 I hope it does for you I’m glad the thread could offer some comfort as I certainly felt alone in it when posting (probably rather stupidly but the hormones don’t help!). If it’s affecting you don’t be afraid to ask for something as every story I’ve heard gps seem happy to prescribe. Having done some research since it seems hormones spike at 8 and 12 weeks hence the sickness getting worse I’m also waiting out till 13 weeks in hope! The exhaustion makes it feel so much worse and more miserable poor dp doesn’t understand fully how I’m so wiped out. Hope you feel better soon congratulations on your bub x

Oh @Crzy I really feel for you.

I suffered incredibly badly from 6 weeks up until around 15 weeks (currently 16 weeks). I'm slowly coming out the other side, albeit I'm still on lots of anti sickness medication.

If it's getting to the stage of not being able to keep water down, tell the doctors that you need to have your urine tested for ketones. If your ketone levels are too high then you probably need to go to hospital for some fluids. This is where I ended up but it made me feel better for a short time. Doctors also offered me anti sickness injections as a first port of call when I hadn't kept fluids down for 24 hours.

If you've gone for any extended period of time without keeping fluids down and it's out of hours, please ring 111. I was told I could also present to a&e as they are aware of the protocol to start fluids.

I kept holding out for week 12 to feel better, but I'm sorry to say your hormones are probably still peaking. At 16 weeks I'm no longer being sick every day, I'd say my turning point was more around 15 weeks.

I wish there was something to make it better. Just know that what you're going through is so real, rest and sleep as much as your body needs, accept any help that gets thrown your way, and keep getting hold of the doctors for help. You may need to try a couple of different medications to find something that'll ease it.

Hi just to say try some of these things:

  • Ginger tea (peel some ginger and pop in it into a mug of hot water and sip - sound horrible but actually really helped me with morning sickness).
  • Suck on a boiled sweet (mint humbugs seemed to work really well - so use them if morning sickness comes back)
  • some of the other natural remedies might work so give them a Google and try.
  • oranges (right now these seem to be working for me when i feel a bit sickly).
