When did your morning sickness stop?

**Taurean** · February 25th, 2009, 11:34 AM

Hi Girls

I'm just past 11 weeks and finally I'm feeling normal again - woohoo!! I've been able to eat reasonably normal meals and function like a human being again. I'm just conerned that it happened so suddenly though. I felt awful yesterday morning, to the point where I was going to phone in sick, but I decided to push on and see how I went at work. By the time I arrived at work I was feeling remarkably good and managed to snack well all day. I even did my 'pre-pregnancy walk' last night (7kms) and enjoyed it!

Did anyone else experience such a sudden change in their symptoms and energy levels around this time? I'm so glad to be feeling somewhat normal again but I'm still a bit nervous that the 'switch' was so easily flicked off/on!

Share your stories please!!

With my DS i got to around week 13 and things stopped and i felt normal again!

With my 2 girls it was a very different story..m/s never really went....it just eased over time

i didn't have m/s badly (i.e. no throwing up or anything, just general nausea) but it did just disappear almost overnight. i can't remember exactly when it was - sometime around 12 weeks. i did notice that i would still get an occasional day when i felt sick but it went away for a week or two before i even got one of those.

my energy levels are still a bit up & down but definitely better than they were!

yep mine went away at about 15 or 16 weeks, cant remember (blocking out the trauma haha) but it literally did go over night....one day i felt like dying and was spewing up everything...the next morning i felt fine! too fine i thought something was wrong and rung the midwife and my mum! LOL
had a few moments for about a week after that where i got abit queasy, and bin smells etc still make me feel alot sicker than before i was pg, but seriously if it disappears overnight like mine did dont stress, be greatful!

Mine went @ about 16 weeks
Altho I have the odd day it comes back, if I rush around in the mornings!

**Kazmar** · February 25th, 2009, 03:35 PM

Aw god! This means I have 4+ weeks left of this crap!!!

Tell your GP!

Mine went to great pains to express to me that MS late in the second trimester is not normal!

If its been really severe to the point that subtle smells are making you ill, or you have lost weight rather than gained it, you may have Hyperemesis Gravidarum too. Look it up and see if you can relate.

11 weeks is about normal for it to stop.
With DD mine stopped at 10 weeks, and with DS it stopped at 15 weeks.
With both of them it stopped relatively suddenly - over a few days I just immediately started to feel better and get my energy back.
That's a really good sign that your placenta is taking over the production of hormones to support your pregnancy just as it should be - this happens in the 10/11th week.
It was crazy...particularly with DS after being sick for sooooo long it was like a new lease on life!

Congratulations and enjoy! Second trimester was absolutely wonderful for me - so much energy, no morning sickness and no big bump in the way yet!

I had the same thing, I was conerned when my symptoms disappeared at around 12-13 weeks. However it wasn't long until I had indigestion, a pain in the bum literally and fainting and dizziness. Hopefully you get an easy ride from here on

With DS it disapeared around 11-12wks and then I would get the occasional bad day on and off until about 16 weeks. With DD I was still throwing up on my due date - yup it sucked

**kristy J** · February 25th, 2009, 10:08 PM

It didn't....sorry...

with both pg's i was sick all day and all night for the entire time.

good news is i lost 15kg while PG... weight i was allowed to loose....

drink gatorade, its helps keep youy hydrated and the sugar helps you to feel better. i would drink 2-3 bottles a day.

Mine disappeared suddenly around 12weeks but came back a week later just as suddenly before finally disappearing altogether around 16wks. Second tri was so much better, felt well and had plenty of energy.

**nicjay** · February 26th, 2009, 08:09 AM

With DD I was so sick one night that I had my head over the toilet bowl, then the next day I felt great and the MS never came back so it is possible

This time it has been very different, not as sick and it disappeared gradually and finally stopped (I hope!) about a week and a half ago.

If you are worried please go get things checked, even if it is only to ease your mind.

15 weeks it stopped lol

**Taurean** · February 26th, 2009, 08:29 AM

Thanks so much for all your replies! I'm still getting little waves of nausea but they are nothing compared to what I had. At least they seem managable now and frequent snacks actually seem to be helping.

I'm not too stressed (unsual for me!), just surprised at how quickly things can change. The little nausea waves I'm still getting are a nice reassurance though

Next scan is 13 March (yes, Friday 13th!!!) so not long until we see bubs again. Thanks for all your well wishes, stories and advice!
