When does it stop?

[seamonster]

When does nausea typically stop during pregnancy? Is it possible that I will have morning sickness my entire pregnancy? I am 15 weeks now and still throwing up about 4x each week. It's an improvement from the 10-12x each week I had been throwing up, but still sucky

I had nausea (but never threw up) till about 16 weeks. My sister had threw up for quite a few months. I think it really depends on how your body handles it.

 

[Naomi4Christ]

Most people stop around 14 weeks (diminishing from around 10).

It is possible that you will feel this way through the whole pregnancy, if you have passed the 14 week mark.

Management may be the best option - avoiding trigger foods, keeping your blood sugar up with nutritious (or non-nutritious) snacks, and not forcing yourself to eat if you have no appetite.

I don't know, I had morning sickness until about 30 weeks. Finally I had to have the doctor give me something for it because I kept getting dehydrated and loosing weight.

 

[Naomi4Christ]

What did the doctor give you, Linnis?

 

[Linnis]

This liquid to take 30 minutes before meals. I only had to take it 4 times. I'll get the name later...DH is alseep and I have to go into our room to get to the bathroom.

Believe me the script was the last option I tried every natural or home remady for morning sickness I could find. Oh the joys of drinking lots of ginger ale...

I had morning sickness & throwing up during my entire pregnancy.
I just had to cope with it, though each time when I went and see my doctor, I was told that it would soon stop.

Hope you can get better.

What did the doctor give you, Linnis?

Metoclopramide is the name of the drug I was given, in liquid form. I only have taken it 4 times since getting the script. While I wasn't totally okay with the idea of taking something the idea of not eating or drinking anything that stayed down for days at a time wasn't okay either.

Yep, you definitely have to weigh up the benefit and risk of each alternative - taking the med and doing nothing.

That drug has been around for 40 years, so there is lots of safety data on it. Has it worked for you?

I threw up everything I ate, drank, and thought about eating and drinking until 13 weeks, then I didn't throw up at all. Over the last month, though, (I am 24 weeks) I throw up maybe once or twice a week...when I eat too much! lol

Yes, I took it 3 times over 2 days and had to take it once about a week ago. It's allowed me to eat and keep down liquids. I was underweight to begin with let alone loosing while pregnant so it's been a blessing.

I think I will be too happy never to see 7up, ginger anything or crackers for a long while.

I had it until about 17 weeks. You should be feeling better soon.

With Desiree every time I got up the mornings the first thing I did before I ate was to go get sick in the bathroom. I did that for about 4 months straight and then it stopped. The same thing happened when I was pregnant with Curtis but I felt sick with him all day long.That lasted about 4 months too. With Desiree after I got sick in the morning I was fine the rest of the day.

Try taking some extra B6 vitamins. That is what my dr. told me to do and it has helped a bit. I still feel the nausea, but haven't been throwing up as much. It should taper off soon. You could also try Sea Band - I heard they work for some people. I haven't tried them yet. You can get them at your local pharmacy.

Every women is different. My morning sickness didn't stop till I was 5 months.
