Hope you all are doing good. I am 9 weeks pregnant and this is my first pregnancy. My nausea and food/smell aversion is worsening. I feel extremely boated and tired all the time. Just wanted to hear from veteran moms - When does the morning sickness end? I know every pregnancy is unique, but I just want to understand everyone's experience. TIA!
I'm only about 14 weeks along, but I started noticing around week 9 that my nausea was easing up as I wasn't having that blah feeling in my stomach when I'd wake up in the mornings. I continue to be incredibly tired though! Which I'd much rather have than the nausea.
I'm not sure I'd call what I have aversions, but even since early pregnancy I've had days of not really knowing what to eat because nothing sounds good. I can look at something and not have a yes or no answer as to whether or not I wanted to eat it for a meal. On occasion I do have the usual "oh that sounds so good right now" craving. It's not a super strong feeling, but after I eat that particular thing I just know it really hit the spot. Probably not eating as much as I should so hopefully my desire to eat comes back soon.
Your symptoms should start easing up as you get towards and into 2nd trimester. My aunt was just telling me yesterday that she felt sick all the way up to week 13. In some cases I've heard that some women never get over being nauseous their entire pregnancy!

They say week 9 is the peak for symptoms, including morning sickness. I’m 9+5 and today has been the worst day by far for me. I’ve just been dry heaving all day. With my first, I don’t remember being that sick at all, and with my second I was nauseous until around 20 weeks and didn’t get up to my starting weight until 24 weeks. Every pregnancy and mama is different, but I hope your peak passes quickly!
Thank you so much guys @paytonpedro@inthewoods23 . I am in my 11th week now and i can feel the nausea reducing gradually. Cant wait for it to go away completely
