Morning sickness in 2nd trimester??

[Siestamama]

Hi all 👋 (First time mum, 38) I thought it was all over and done with by 12 weeks, but here I am at 15 weeks struggling to keep food down, willing myself to eat, puking first thing, struggling at night with insomnia and crying over my lunch 😂🙈 what gives? Is the baby going through a growth spurt or something? 🤨 And IS IT NORMAL 😂🤔

It can last all the way through I'm afraid! I had 30 weeks of it with my first (but nothing at all with the second).

I had it until 36 weeks with my first and my waters went at 36+4. 😖 I don’t know where this myth of 12 weeks came from tbh!

In my first pregnancy it was bad until around week 20, then sporadic. It cleared up around 25 weeks.

In my second pregnancy, I actually lost weight. I was really bad early on, like had to get a drip once due to dehydration and battled so much to prevent it happening again. That eased off around 25 weeks but I still was lower level sick until week 30. Then it was sporadic.

I have not gone a week without vomiting while pregnant.

Irritatingly, I piled weight on so, so quickly after giving birth!!! I was breastfeeding, starving and v quickly heavier than I was pre pregnancy 😫

I had it all the way through from 8 weeks I think. I was sick the morning I went in for my ELCS and had been nil by mouth (that one stung a bit!)

Ok! Thankyou all, sounds more normal than I realized!

All the public health service websites talk about how your morning sickness will likely ‘die down’ by week 12. I’m over here like, are you mocking me! 😂

I had hg..was sick all the way through..horrible

Have you spoken to your midwife about the sickness? I was very sick in my third pregnancy (until well into the 2nd trimester) & they gave me tablets that really helped. Hope you feel better soon!

Mine only stopped in the delivery room.

First pregnancy I was nauseous till 20 weeks... second only till about 16 weeks but it was much more acute. It was so miserable.

12 weeks is definitely a myth, I only know one mum who stopped feeling sick by then. All others were 14 weeks at the earliest, some much later.

Sorry op...!

I had it daily the entire 41 weeks of my first pregnancy ( sorry), second pregnancy cleared up around week 15-fingers crossed for you. I found acupuncture travel bands mildly helpful.

Normal. I've had three babies and each time the all day morning sickness only started to improve at 20 weeks.

Mine went around 18 weeks in 1st pregnancy, was still physically throwing up when i was in labour 2nd time round. Feel for you OP, god it's hard! I remember being shocked at how nobody had warned me how bad pregnancy was. Hope it passes soon 🤞

I had it the whole time, though I did have high BP so that didn't help

Thankyou everyone 😊 Yes I might ask her at my next appt 👍
