20 weeks and still sick

meaganeagan · December 2011

This is my first pregnancy, I am 20 weeks pregnant and I am still feeling sick and completely exhausted all the time. When am I supposed to feel better? Is there anyone out there who never felt better their entire pregnancy? Is there anything I can do to make this experience better for me? The only good thing about this pregnancy has been feeling the baby move.

I am in the same boat... I am 22 weeks and still am feeling quite sick, have no energy and feel overall miserable.... I guess that doesn't really help you much except to know that you are not the only one feeling that way!

I was sick my entire first pregnancy and 18+ weeks into my second I am still sick if I do not take my zofran. Honestly, it could improve but at this point you might be stuck with it for a bit. Has your dr offered any meds to help you? Sorry, I know how much it stinks...I just keep telling myself since I've done it before that it DOES end!!

I hope things get better for you ladies. I'm 16 weeks, not feeling as bad as I have felt over the weeks, but overall have been miserable. I don't want to do anything but sit around the house, watch tv, eat and sleep.

I'm just shy of 23 weeks and I still gag alot. I also have very specific food cravings and aversions. Smells kill me. My friend literally threw up through her whole pregnancy, so I can't complain. The gagging gets annoying, and isn't the prettiest when i'm food shopping and wretching. LOL.

Still sick here at 18 weeks. I will say that now though it pretty much ends around noon. But an added bonus is my back is now popping out of place

Zofran gives me killer headaches so i make sure i eat right before bed, as soon as i wake up, and frequently throughtout the day, that helps.

I also keep mints sprite and crackers on hand everywhere i go.

My husband hates that some days i just want to stay in bed.

My friend had that hyperemesis gravidarum where she threw up multiple times a day all day. Even hers tapered off to just in the morning at the end. Everyone keeps swearing its gonna leave me any day now.

The last few days have been pretty good, but I'm not working this week so I can relax and take it easy. Otherwise, I'm still throwing up almost daily and taking Zofran 2x's a day. I even popped a blood vessel in my eye from throwing up so much the other night. I'm also starting to wonder if it will get better or if this is just how it's going to be

ZOFRAN!!!! It's a miracle pill. My doctor perscribed it to me for neausea and it is amazing! I do have to say in the beggining i was taking it everyday but one of the side effects I found out is constipation Lol so now that I'm 18 weeks I try to take it less often. But it does really help, I promise!!

Ugh, I feel you. I'm only 16 weeks but I still feel awful. I took a 2 hour nap this afternoon/evening because I was falling asleep on the couch. The nausea hasn't stopped either- I'm been on anti-nausea meds for the last 2 weeks but I don't think they're working because I keep throwing up. I have no advice but (in a way) I'm glad to know I'm not the only one in 2nd tri without the hearty appetite and pregnancy glow that I feel like I'm supposed to have.

Hate to tell you this but I am 38wks and still sick. I threw up every day (sometimes all day) for the 1st 2 trimesters; now it is just 1-2 times per week. I finally got a little energy in the past couple of weeks, thankfully. I hope you girls have a better pregnancy!
