HI EVERYONE! ![]()
This is my first pregnancy, and I am wondering if it's normal to still be having morning sickness. My OB told me on my first visit that this would last about 10 to 12 weeks, but I am on my 19th week and I still wake up sick every single morning. I am not losing sleep over it, but I just want to know if it's a common thing. I tried talking to girls in my fam and friends, but most didnt have nausea for long, and the rest didnt have it AT ALL (Lucky!)
Any advice? is there something I might be doing wrong? Any tips to ease or get rid of morning sickness are welcome.
Thx for reading my post
Re: Anyone else still having morning sickness?
WOW I'm so glad you said this. I am super sick too at 19 weeks! What the heck? I take Zofran to help though I hate taking extra medicine while preggo.
I've been to the hospital twice, both during one of my horrific four-hour commutes to work. It's really taken a toll. Fortunately for me, it's resulting in a bump in being allowed a medical transfer, sweeeeet.
I would say that just this week did it completely let up (knock on wood)... I'd say 20 weeks, 4 days or so?
No tips, just had to wait it out. :-)
I've had morning sickness throughout all of my pregnancies, it lessens some as time goes on but it never goes away completely until I have the baby.
If you're mainly having it in the morning try eating some crackers before you even get out of bed or eating something right before you go to bed.
From all the pregnant women I've known, very few have morning sickness that lingers past 12ish weeks but I guess some of us are just lucky.
Kelly, Mom to Christopher Shannon 9.27.06, Catherine Quinn 2.24.09, Trey Barton lost on 12.28.09, Therese Barton lost on 6.10.10, Joseph Sullivan 7.23.11, and our latest, Victoria Maren 11.15.12
Secondary infertility success with IVF, then two losses, one at 14 weeks and one at 10 weeks, then success with IUI and then just pure, crazy luck. Expecting our fifth in May as the result of a FET.
This Cluttered Life
Me. Ugh. I'll be 20w on Sunday, but am still nauseous for every waking hour. I'm also on Zofran and anti-nausea pre-natal vitamins, which help make going about my work/life more possible. It had definitely receded though. Now, instead of puking multiple x day, it's only 1 or 2x a week. Haven't gained any weight yet, and am NEVER hungry. Ever. Most meats completely skeve me out. But eating small things every 2 or 3 hours definitely helps too. An apple, granola bar, string cheese, wheat thins, etc.
Hope you're feeling better soon!
