9 weeks, symptoms less severe...worried

[writingislove]

I'm 9 weeks tomorrow and starting at about 6 weeks, I had really bad all-day nausea and fatigue. Last Sunday was the last day I felt truly awful, but all week the nausea has pretty much subsided except for a rare occurrence after eating. Yesterday I still felt a little fatigue, but today I feel like my normal self. No nausea, plenty of energy, no sore boobs...the only thing I still feel is an aversion to foods and smells.

I had a scan at 6 weeks that showed a hb of 115 bpm, but I can't help but worry about my symptoms easing up. My next scan is 3 weeks away and it seems like most women I talk to say their nausea and fatigue worsened until 10 weeks at least. Can anyone provide any reassurance?

I haven't had MS with this one but I had awful nausea with my son. It stopped right around 9-10 weeks. Most of my other symptoms disappeared around then too. So you sound right about on track. Also, the placenta finishes forming between 9-12 weeks so it starts taking over. At that point the baby starts depending less directly on you for nutrients which can cause you to feel better.

I posted something similar the other day I was just the same as you had a scan today and everything was fine. Symptoms come and go try not to worry too much

Well of course as soon as I say something, the sickness comes back!

With my daughter my symptoms came and went from 4 weeks. On the days when I had symptoms I felt pretty rough. Then as soon as they wasted I was worried sick - and they came back with a vengeance

But at 9 weeks everything disappeared overnight and the only nasty feeling was the gagging/dry heaving.

I hope your disappear soon!

Thanks ladies. Last night I was SO sick, and this morning I was back to normal and felt amazing. But by lunchtime, I was asleep on the couch and I'm battling some more nausea. So I'm learning to chill out because clearly the symptoms are come and go!
