9 weeks pregnant and due December 15, still experiencing nausea and weakness

BabeSanctuary

Hi ladies, I have had nausea for some weeks now from about when I was 4 weeks pregnant. It hasn't been so bad at all as I dont throw up food or anything just a lot of saliva. My question is, at 9 weeks I am feeling so weak even after eating. Had my BP checked last week Thursday and it was normal. Anyone experience weakness?

I was nauseous from weeks 5-7, vomiting from 7-17.  Sounds normal, even though it sucks.

Sounds completely normal to me as well . I am 18 weeks and still having some issues.

Yep. Mine started at 6 and hasn't completely gone away yet. Hang in there!

You're only 9 weeks, first tri is when most women's morning sickness kicks in. During 2nd trimester it might get better, you still have a few weeks til then so hang in there.

I'm with a lot of the prior posters.  I experienced nausea at 6 weeks and then vomitting around 8 through week 16/17.  When I was actually getting sick all day everyday I was feeling week and exhausted too, and eventually ended up in the hospital several times for dehydration.  If you can keep it down, try to stay as hydrated as possible. 

One piece of advice that I was given by the nutritionist when I was in the hospital was to seperate my liquids and my solids.  So eat something, then wait 15 or 20 minutes and then drink your water or juice, or vice versa.  Apparently your digestion process slows way down due the hormones in the first trimester, and eating and drinking together weighs down your food, making it harder for your body to process.

I don't know if it was just the timing (I was at week 16 by that point), or the new eating routine, but that process along with my prescription really helped keep down food and water and I'm feeling great now at 24 weeks.  (Waves of nausea are slowly returning, but I'm just trying to ignore them...lol)

Best of luck!

 Sounds like you meant to post this in 1st Trimester?

From day one I had really bad nausea. Couldnt keep anything down. Lived on Ginger Ale. My oby ended up writing a prescription for ondansetron (zofran) and I went from taking it three times daily to now only once in the morning at 5 months. There are options out there, just talk to your oby. It could also be your prenatals, so mybe switching them might help too.

I lost 10lbs because I couldn't stop throwing up!! Count yourself lucky that your not getting sick!! Its normal. I'm almost 20wks and I still get sick from time to time in the morning.

Sounds normal to me. I'm 15 weeks and still nauseous, tired and weak. Hang in there.

Still having morning sickness at 21 weeks.  The weakness/dizziness comes and goes for me, but it is normal.  Try to remember...even if it lasts until the baby is born, you only have 31 more weeks!

Normal... Also, a better place to post your questions at this time would be 1st tri or your  BMB...

Oh god, please. Nausea doesn't normally go away until 13 or so weeks unless you are lucky. If you are super unlucky like me, you'll still be barfing at 21 weeks. And I felt weak until like 16 weeks. Couldn't even get out of bed most days.
