I suffer from severe ms here and was wondering if anyone had the same experience and if so when it started to get better??? I feel pretty depressed atm from being so sick. Spend my day in ER yesterday for an IV with fluids.
Hi Gliriel - congrats on your pregnancy but so sorry to have to suffer the dreaded ms. I had morning sickness aswell I would not call mine severe but it was bad enough, it pretty much lasted all day and all night and at one point I didnt even want to leave the house I felt so terrible - could really only eat toast and then that didnt stay down much either (still cant eat toast now lol). Mine started at 6 weeks on the dot and ended at 17.5 weeks.
Everyone is different so others expeiences are not a real guide to go by but I know you would be clutching at any hope that it is going to end soon - I was the same.
I am actually dredding being pregnant again for that reason - I hate ms.
Sorry to hear you are so sick, I'm also sorry to say that it is sooo different for everyone. Some finish up at 12 weeks, some a bit later & some never. I am throwing up day & night....have been since 6wks & am still going strong at almost 18wks.
Update: still have ms at 24 wks, grrrrrrrr.

: additional info
I have what I suppose would be considered mild m/s as it's only nausea and no vomiting which started at 4 weeks and still comes in waves (I was 9 weeks yesterday). I've had a few good days here and there which made me excited that I'd gotten past it only for it to return with a vengeance a few days later.
I don't know how you guys do it, being that sick every day for weeks on end I really think would do me in, I mean I really have my days where I'm fed up and I only have mild nausea
There is a light at the tunnel - at least there was for me. I was in a similar position to you. I ended up in hospital a few times due to dehydration from constant vomiting. I couldn't get out of bed for a few weeks and was thinking about how horrible everything was.
My vomiting and nausea went through a few different phases.
Firstly, I had the constant vomiting, ending up in hospital a few times. That was from 5ish weeks to 11 weeks.
Then I had pretty constant nausea, slowing easing. If I ate carrots, fresh fruit and other fresh things pretty continually I was ok. I was a sight at work - munching on a bag of carrots all day, every day. That was from around 12 weeks to 16 weeks.
Then I only got nausea in the morning, before I had something to eat. If I ate something straight away, like a banana then the nausea went away. That was from 17 weeks to 21ish weeks.
Now it's all gone! I can get hungry without wanting to throw up and it's all good.
I know it's horrible, but it will be ok. Just hang in there.
Ahhhh morning sickness.... It must have been a man that made up the name as it's more like all day sickness!!! I could quite happily say that was the worst part abaout being preg! I didn't really enjoy the first half of my preg with DD as I had m/s all day every day right up until I was 16 weeks, then it calmed down a bit and was completely gone by 19 weeks. So many people told me when I hit 12 weeks it would be gone, but definately not for everyone!!! In saying that as one of the ladies have said, there is a light at the end of the tunnel, but just remember everyone's experience is different. I do hope it does start to ease really soon for you, you poor dear! Keep in mind they say m/s is a good sign for a very healthy baby! Although it was really hard sometimes, that kept me going!
Sorry for not posting for so long but like you know I have been very sick. I end up in hospital for 1 week straight, lost 12 kilos (which is good but not the ideal way). The ob put me on zofran (man is this medicine expensive!!!! $9 for 1 tablet. I need 2 a day so that is around $130 per week. i hope it starts easing off soon cause I dont think we will be able to afford this for too long. I am still vomiting but not as much as before I was on the tablets. I can at least eat little bits of food and drink water!
That's not good at all, hopefully it eases up for you. With DD1, it only eased up once I'd given birth to her. I had MS for the entire pregnancy. Not fun. And it was bad. Wtih DD2, I didn't have MS at all!
WOW! It sounds like you've had a horrible time with the m/s. I'm 14 weeks and still have a little nausea every now and then, for 7 weeks (away from work for 5) I was bed bound, having to eat every two hours, even through the night! (sometimes sitting on the kitchen floor on my own waiting for toast to cook because if I stood up I would have vomited or passed out) But nothing as severe as what I'm reading about here! Eventually certain foods would tie me over longer..cheese was a godsend.
I do hope this passes for you or at least starts to calm down soon! I will tell you all though that I had tried everything tablets, different foods to ease mine and in the end I saw a wonderful doctor who gave me laser acupuncture and for nearly 2 glorious weeks I felt I was in my 2nd trimester I had no sickness, energy and even went back to work..then it came back..but it certainly worked for me
When does ms start fading away?
