Tagged As: How Long Does Morning Sickness Last
Question:
I've had my morning sickness for almost 4 weeks now. I have on-going nausea for as long as I am awake. I haven't thrown-up yet. My nose is so sensitive to every little smell there is around. Fortunately, my appetite is quite OK. I eat small meals, and avoiding foods that have certain funny smell. I was wondering how long did yours last? Is this to be expected for the next couple months? I've heard that some people have this nausea/morning sickness for not too long (only a couple weeks).
Answer:
I had nausea starting about week 8, but it did not become severe until about week 10, when I began puking several times a day. About week 15 or 16, it settled down to being sick on average about once a day, but every 3-5 days or so I'd have a day where I threw up all day long. That eased up gradually, until now, at week 25, I only vomit once every few days. The good news is that I've been told that most women don't have this bad of a time. Mine started at about 5 weeks and lasted through about 13. But even now at nearly 20 I have some bad moments some mornings. But the last 6 weeks I've felt MUCH better than in the 6 before that. RE: Morning sickness - With my first pregnancy I had morning sickness for the first four to five months. I am now pregnant with my second, in my ninth week and I once again feel like Im car sick 24 hours a day. I think for everyone it is different, and everybody will try to give you a different solution. Well, unfortunatly I have still not found a solution, but it does help me to eat crackers about every one and a half hours, whether Im hungry or not. I've also noticed that on the days I have forgotten to take my pre-natal vitamin I feel wonderful. However, this is not an option!!!! I have also tryed to cut out meat. I try to get my protein from other sources. I feel much better having a huge salad with fresh fruit and veggies. Preparing this also does not have an odor as compared to standing over the stove cooking spaghetti or say a caserole. Hope you feel better soon!
