did it get better once you hit second trimester and about when did it start to ease? I have been throwing up once a day at night since about 8wk. I am almost out of the 1st trimester and everyone keeps telling me it will get better, but so far, not really. Today was the first time I threw up in the middle of the day. I never got sick with my DS so this is new for me. I am not taking anything for it because I am already taking a couple of other meds and just didn't want to take anything else....so I have just been dealing with it.
Re: Those that had pretty bad morning sickness in 1st tri.....
I have had horrid Morning sickness since about 5/6 weeks. I was dizzy and nauseaus- only in the afternooon though. I finally started to get better around 22/23 weeks.
I am on Diclectin - only available in Canada, Zofran did nothing for me.
Thankfully yes! It got significantly better around week 17-18 for me. I was nauseous all day and was throwing up almost every day (morning and night). I totally know how you feel, and wish you the best! Hang in there and hopefully it will get better for you soon!
With my first I never got sick either, and had no idea how lucky I was.

It lasted until about 18-19 weeks for me sadly, and last week I did get sick again. But for the most part I have been feeling great for about a month now.
I don't think I would have survived had it not been for Unisom and B6.
I never puked, I just couldn't eat. It eased up around 11 weeks. BUT my SIL had all-day-all-pregnancy sickness with her 3 girls.
Try some meds. I know it sucks to take so much medicine, but even if you take them for a few days to get some relief, you'll feel human.

CRAFTY ME
my read shelf:
The active ingredients in diclectin are the same ingredients in Unisom tablets, and B6. I'm in the US, but I take unisom/b6 and it helps a lot. I just have to take half a tablet of each a day, and it makes all the difference in the world. If the meds you are on are safe, it shouldn't matter if you are on one or three of them, as long as the active ingredients are for different things.
For me it hasn't eased and the meds didn't work. Mine kicked in week 5 and I still have it. I've lost 22 lbs since getting pregnant. My doctor assures me that I'm the exception and not the rule though.
I hope you get relief and feel better soon!
I had constant sickness, all day long, brought on even by thoughts. I was completely miserable. Most days I couldn't even get off the couch because just moving was too much.Worse still, sometimes it would go away for a few days at a time and I'd think I was finally over it, then it would come back even worse than before. I used to get really tired of people telling me it would get better in the 2nd trimester because I felt like they didn't understand "it will go away" didn't make it better, but it did go away for me. It 'went away' and came back so many times I stopped noticing when I hadn't noticed it for a while. It was only when my grandma asked me if I was feeling better that I noticed it's been gone for a long time now (I think the last time I had it was around 16 weeks).
I tried pretty much everything to make it go away, and nothing worked. I was prescribed Zofran and that actually made it worse. The only thing that even helped a little was drinking warm water with maple syrup in it. Maybe give that a try?
