how long did your morning sickness last?

[ewoklets]

i'm 6 weeks pregnant and my gosh, i am SO sick! i can only have ice blocks and water because anything else i eat gets thrown up straight away. after a week of constant nausea and intense vomiting i went to my doctor and she gave me anti-nausea medication to take, stuff that's designed specifically for morning sickness. it seems to help stop the vomiting except at night when i don't take it and my body wakes me up to throw up!

the thought of going through this for another few weeks is enough to make me cry. i miss not feeling sick. i would give anything to make this nausea go away.

has anyone else had severe morning sickness? how long did yours last?

I had nausea but only threw up a couple of times. I was sick from week 5 1/2 to week 9, but it differs for each person. I hope yours ends soon

In the beginning I was very sick all day long. It only lasted up until the 7-8 week for me...Morning sickness is one of those things that there is no set time for it to stop unfortunatley!! Some people have it for a few weeks others have it up until they are due. I wish I had a magic number for you..but I don't. A lot of times docs say after the first trimester it settles down ...i hope that is the case for you. My doc gave me a med called diclectin...it worked well for me. Good Luck!!

with my 1st i had it everyday up untill i had him!! I was even throwing up with every contracetion in labour! 'm feeling sick all day now but can't actually be sick...... i'm just hoping it goes away soon.
Hope urs settles soon too. I'm afraid it can come and go as it pleases! apparantly ginger biscuits r meant to help and peppermint. also sickness wrist bands which i must admit i'm gonna give these a go!see if it'll stop the queaziness! xx

i've been throwing up so much that just now i threw up and there was blood in it. the doctors are closed right now (it's 5am) but i will call as soon as they open. my throat feels raw so it's probably just damaged my throat lining from so much throwing up. something tells me i may wind up in hospital with this morning sickness...

Not until 16 1/2 weeks-ish. They ended up putting me on meds cause mine was so severe. I hope yours gets better soon!

awww i really do sympathise as mine was this bad with number 1!! just keep sucking the ice cubes and maybe havea shower or bath to try and freshen u up! always makes me feel better!
Really hope it quickly goes. xx

I know everything your going thru hun, from week 6 i was throwing up everything even water, I went to my doc, but he wouldn't give me anything just sent me into hospital, were i was on a drip for 3 days I was so dehydrated, but it made me feel a lot better, and I found out after that I had a urine infection so am feeling even better now after the antibiotics, am still being sick about two times a day but its a lot better then five or six. I found the sickness bands helped a little bit, also try to aviod smells that make you feel ill, mine is ciggy smoke and air freshners. Hope you feel better soon.

aawww, hun that sounds horrible!

Try try try to keep water in you... and speak to your doc as soon as it opens. It'll pass soon... tyr to remember its a good sign, apparently lots of morning sickness means healthy baby. (although im sure that doesnt help)

I'm still getting horribly sick, but it is easing off A LITTLE!!. Still horrible though!!

 

[Gabi]

I had it from 5-9 weeks. The worst was 7-9 weeks. I couldn't keep anything down. Not even water. I was put onto medication and it seemed to ease off at around 9 weeks. Now at 11 weeks I still have the occasional bit of queasyness but it's not that bad anymore.

Hope it doesn't last long!

The sickness bands from the chemist are brilliant, have had mine on for three weeks now and took them off on Monday (was too scared any earlier) I would recommend you try these.

 

[hollie86]

Sometimes I feel sick all day every day and some days like today I have'nt felt so bad at all. It effects everybody differently!
I find eatin little and often helps. Although now I seem to be eatin a lot and often lol.

hi there,

Mine lasted from week 4 to week 7 now I am just about to feel fine. I have found the rule for me is eat little and often and defo have breakfast. Hope it eases for ya soon hun

 

[daisygirl]

hey, i started feeling sick at 7 weeks, and it horrific, although it only lasted a week!! i couldn't go to work as i just couldn't keep anything down and i fel so weak, i kept bringing up water but the doctor told me if you keep sipping water some will stay down, i used to through a straw and although some came up, a lot stayed down and it got better then. althought when i'm up early for work i'm sick, but its not ill sick, it just comes and i'm ok after that whereas before i had to a lay down for awhile.

hope it goes away soon! just keep drinking water!

oh hun, you sound like you're really suffering. It is horrible, and debilitating, and generally makes you feel like s!*t. But, ( and I know it doesn't make you feel any better, but is soo true ), it signals a really strong pregnancy. I am feeling sick as a dog too, and just can't eat, but I'm actually glad for the sickness, I'd be more worried if it disappeared... at least up til 12 weeks.

With my other pregnancies I used the pressure point bands, and they really work. They do cause a bit of bruising on the inside of the wrist though, small price to pay for not trowing up every hour !!

Hope you feel better soon, and just make sure you keep yourself hydrated. Don't worry about bubs, they are getting everything you need, yes I said everything you need

oh that sounds soooooo horrible! I'm so sorry. I've been lucky enough to only be nautious, but no puking (as of yet...i'm holding my breath!)

Hopefully i wont throw up tho. My mom only got nautious she says, never threw up. So i hope i will take after her during pregnancy!
