To all second trimester mommies from a 1st trimester.....

effiepou · October 2010

Is it true that you start to feel better at 12 weeks?? Im dying over here! Im at 10 weeks...

akemrose · October 2010

I'm sure its different for everyone. I didn't start feeling better until about 15 weeks. I had m/s daily until then. After that it came and went. For the last 2 weeks i haven't gotten sick at all.

As far as the exhaustion... it's still there, if not worse!

armandos_girl · October 2010

Couldn't tell you. I'm at nearly 15 weeks and still puking.

missesru · October 2010

For me it wasn't a wake up at 11w6d, feeling like garbage.. wake up the next day feeling great... But my m/s did get better around 16 weeks. It was absolutely terrible until that time (all day, everyday). The majority of my 2nd trimester was fabulous though, so there is hope.

Good luck

jilrsch46 · October 2010

17 weeks and 4 days.... AND I am seriously considering throwing up in my trashcan at work right now... better luck to you!!

buboo · October 2010

Not always. I still feel sick sometimes and I am 16wks

Manateearmz · October 2010

The only thing that got better for me was the m/s. I have more headaches now, and I am still pretty tired all of the time.

daniellepanda · October 2010

I did not have m/s at all but my nightly heartburn almost totally stopped and also I got way more energy once i went into the 2nd trimester, dont worry things will be better soon!

Scout05 · October 2010

Uh...no. Sorry.

I hear 16 weeks is better, but I'm not going to hold my breath.

bootsnbananas · October 2010

maybe.

or not.

Pregnancy sucks and when one crappy "symptom" goes away it's usually replaced by another.

Sorry

BeetleLinz1125 · October 2010

I started feeling better around 12 weeks, but I saw an even greater improvement around 14 weeks. It is different from everyone, but hopefully you will start to feel better soon!

aubreyalise · October 2010

it didn't start to get better for me until 16 weeks. i'm still having waves of nausea but it's not 24/7 and i can actually think of food that sounds good instead of trying to figure out what food sounds the least disgusting.

MrsTotty · October 2010

The first time around, I was still puking every day until 16 weeks.

jteneback · October 2010

I started feeling better at 13 weeks. I know lots of people who are sick until 20 weeks.

RunningGal900 · October 2010

I started feeling really bad around 13 weeks. More sickness, headaches and extreme fatigue. But I had an easy first tri, so I was lucky for that period of time.

skio · October 2010

Nope!

Okay, okay. In some respects, yes, but it depends on what you're talking about. I'm still sick daily with m/s - nausea and gagging - but it's way more manageable than it was. It started to get better for me at 14 weeks, but it's not gone by any means.

M/S was the only bad 1st tri symptom I had, but it was the absolute worst. I have a whole lot more bad symptoms now, like sciatica, major heartburn, constant aching in the groin, headahces, etc. But I'm having a tough pregnancy compared to many, so take this with a grain of salt. Everyone is different - I hope you feel better soon!

HolliEllison · October 2010

I didn't have a ton of m/s in either the first or so far in the second trimester but I can tell you that my energy has NOT returned yet.I think the whole idea that you have more energy in the 2nd tri is a myth - at least so far for me. Hopefully you'll feel better soon!

tapcat63 · October 2010

It varies from person to person, pregnancy to pregnancy. With my first, weeks 7-12 were hell. Second baby, weeks 8-15 sucked. Third baby, weeks 5-17 made me wonder when I lost my mental capacity that led me to having another kid....

BUT, you start to forget how horrible m/s was when the end result is staring up at you from your arms...

Alright, I think I just threw up a rainbow and a whole lot of glitter.

This.

The m/s didn't get better til 15-16 weeks, and I still have a daily dry heave.

jessibangs · October 2010

I stopped having bad morning sickness around 10 weeks, then i just got mega headaches.

jenlowe80 · October 2010

16 weeks and I started to feel a tiny bit better. That has only been for 3 days though. I still was puking just not nauseous all day.

Hyfagal · October 2010

I didn't start getting relief from the m/s until 15 weeks.

johannaknip · October 2010

Not really. Mine was also in stages. It wasn't like I woke up one day and felt like new. And the heartburn? No end in sight.

weelass24 · October 2010

Lies. I'm worse now than I was before.

Nyki06Wed43530 · October 2010

I don't want to extinguish the hope you may have, but I threw up everyday until 16 weeks when I finally figured out the best way to take my anti puke meds. If it wasn't for the meds I would still be sick now at 22 weeks.

kabarbanel · October 2010

Certainly not true for everyone, and not true for me with this baby.

SBieste · October 2010

I felt noticebly better at 16 weeks. I'm happy to say I'm really not nauseous anymore at all now.. Maybe they should change the number from "you feel better at 12 weeks" to 16 weeks.... that seems to be fairly consistent on this board.

lovemytannerman · October 2010

I stopped puking my guts out around week 17 and was able to stop the meds, but I'm 27 weeks now and still nauseated all day long, every day. Dr says if it was going to go away it probably would have by now.

Hopefully for you it will be different.

LovingStepMom · October 2010

I remember writing a similar post to the 2nd tri moms around 10 weeks...just begging for hope and relief.

Okay...here is my experience...I did get some energy back and do feel better than 1st tri for sure! I really started feeling better around week 14....but yes, at week 12, it began to ease slowly.

Now in 2nd tri...I am again beginning to feel tired more as of this week and a few more mood swings...but SO MUCH better than 1st tri....hang in there...this will pass!

TwistedFirestarter · October 2010

I didn't start feeling better until 17.5 weeks and even now I still have my bad days.

m0132 · October 2010

I was still sick last week and this weekend. The past two days have been good but I am not holding my breath because I seem to be on an every other day puking schedule. The actual puking started a little late for me though..around 9 weeks. Now that I haven't been sick the past two days I am exhausted, so if its not one thing its another..comes with the territory.

ABell2B · October 2010

Every one is different, for your sake I hope you do, Im 25 weeks and I still have m/s all day and all night... awesome... But the 2nd trimester is usually better for most... hope ur one of the lucky ones that doesnt have morning sickness for the whole time... at at the looks of it thats where Im headed lol

LadyXaverian · October 2010

I started feeling normal around 13 and a half weeks.

elfgirl11 · October 2010

ha!!!! they lied to us...everyone is different but I only started eating again normally at 5 months in! and only WEEK 24 did I stop feeling like I was going to pass out and NEED to nap every day (they put me on iron pills which has helped a lot too)

16 wks seems to be a better avg marker....

st.augbride · October 2010

It lingered with me until 16 weeks, and then was back last week but is now gone again.

CutieBean79 · October 2010

Everyone is different. Mine left around 10w. You never know if tomorrow is the day you'll wake up feeling like a new person. Oh, don't get me wrong, I still get a bout of it about once a week, but I can handle that.

sweetaug · October 2010

I was pretty sick until 14 weeks. But I ate a little too much tonight and felt sick again. I probably could have thrown up, but I'm to the point where I can hold back. And I have a LOT more energy!!!

brunette mac · October 2010

I'm about 14 weeks and I still have m/s. It different for everyone, gl.

HoolahZinger · October 2010

I didn't lose the morning sickness until about week 17. Still exhausted as all get out. Luckily there's an expiration date to all the bagillion pregnancy "symptoms" I have been so blessed to be received :P
