I'm 13 weeks today and it shows no sign of slowing down. Just spent 10 minutes in the bathroom at work dry-heaving. I'm waiting for someone to flip the switch and make me feel human again! I didn't have ms with my son, so this is all new to me. Of course everyone I talk to tells me how they were sick for 6-7-8-9- months (which I tend not to believe most of them!).
So, if you have been lucky enough to experience lovely ms, how long did it last for you? Or is it still going strong?
Re: Poll: How long did your morning sickness last?
For me it lasted all the way through my first tri, went away during most of my second and then...I was so glad to have it come back during my third.... I think it's worse now than in the beginning!?! I hope you feel better soon!
Weeks 6-13 were the worst for me. I was sick morning noon and night and I was puking up to 12 times a day. I am now throwing up only about 1-2 times a day but don't have the extreme nausea anymore. Have you tried taking a vitamin B6 supplement? Talk to your doctor about a dosage but I think that's what helped me.
Good luck!
From 6-12 weeks I was deathly ill 24/7, some days throwing up around 10 times. This week I have felt a little bit better. I'm still not energetic at all, and my diet still consists of oatmeal and toast, but it is better.
I'm traumatized by how sick I was though, so I'm not confident that it won't come back. Zofran and a seaband both helped quite a bit. So did fizzy drinks.
I'm 15w1d & it's still here.
5.5w - now.
It started to ease at 14-15w and I was off Zofran by week 16, but I'm still nauseous with gagging fits daily and intermittent bad days with barfing.
With DD I was sick until 18.5 weeks. In fact, my m/s got worse between weeks 13-18.
This time around it started to subside around week 11 or 12. I still have a day every now and again where I do feel a little nauseous, but it is nothing like that m/s feeling that you have all day long. Plus, the nauseous feeling tends to occur if I haven't eaten enough during the day, so if I make sure to eat regular meals and snacks I can avoid it altogether.
