    Hi all, i'm 11 weeks pregnant will be 12 on saturday and i was just wondering
    is it normal to still have morning sickness at this stage of pregnancy?
    I havent really gotten it much this is the 3rd time in about 2 weeks so i'd say i'm pretty lucky to some people. Anyway, i had a takeaway pizza on sat night and was grand yesterday felt a bit neauses as i do everyday and then today about 3 hours after breakfast i was sick. the same thing happened a couple of weeks ago, when i had mcdonalds i was sick the following day...
    is it normal. i do have a really go diet, eating lots of veg, yoghurts, fruit and all. oh just to point out... i love kiwis and have been eating one every day since i found out i was preg. and was sick twice now in the past 3 weeks or so since ive had them but what i dont get is... ive been eating them every day and some days i'm grand others i'm not....is it normal? any advice would be greatfully appriciated.

    Thanks xx
    Kori

    Yep. 11 weeks is still early days to be having it. I think my wife was around 16 weeks when it went. Some people have it the whole way through :eek: (though they're a minority). Once you're not losing weight you're grand. Even if you are losing weight you're probably grand, it just requires more medical supervision.

    Sounds to me like you've nothing to worry about though. Hope that helps.

    I didn't have much morning sickness, the odd morning but nothing major, however it was only last week (at 16 weeks) that I felt comfortable enough to take my plastic 'emergency morning sick' bag out of my car for the drive to work ;)

    What I found handy was to have a relatively light brekkie, so that way there's not a huge amount to come back up if you are sick, and carry some crackers to snack on throughout the morning, Tuc biscuits were a lifesaver when I felt a bit queasy.

    Yes, it's frustrating when all the books tell you morning sickness ends by 12 - 14 weeks. I'm still throwing up most days at 31 weeks and have been since 7 weeks. Hopefully you'll feel better soon.

    With my first a girl I had morning sickness until i was in labour at 39 weeks (i was vomiting during the labour), i had it very bad and had to be hospitalised a couple of times as i was dehydrated, i was only 8 weeks pregnant the first time i had to be hospitalised.

    With the second i had it on and off until 35 weeks when he was born (was never hospitalised with him).

    With the 3rd another boy it wasn't too bad mostly nausea vomiting here and there again till 39 weeks when he was born.

    Every pregnancy is different.

    My first, i was getting sick from day one right up until i had her.. And yes! By that i mean the whole pregnancy.

    This one on the other hand, not a bit of sickness, its great other than the fact that i was due 9 days ago..

    Best of luck and hope the sickness stops soon :)

    My first i was sick the whole way through, discovered it was the iron that was doing it... the 2nd i was sick to the point of losing weight, again the whole way through and my 3rd i was sick til about 16 weeks and then the indigestion took over, again lost loads of weight on him (over 2 stone:D)
    This one i was just nauseous til last week, it seems to have eased but i''m not holding my breath. I honestly think the sickness is easier than the nausea. at least when you're sick you can eat, the last few weeks i haven't been able to go in the kitchen never mind cook anything. . . thank god my eldest is up for making pasta :D

    I've heard it's quite common to have nausea up until 20 weeks and for most people it eases after that (not for everyone as is clear from this thread!). I was rarely sick on my first and found that keeping a mandarin orange in my pocket to sniff in an emergency was very effective (I was craving oranges anyway - whatever works!).

    I'm very early days on this one and already I've thrown up more times than I think I have in the rest of my life combined. My husband has to do a quick scan of the fridge each morning to make sure there's nothing in there that might set me off - a bowl of leftover soup that my brother stowed away set me off yesterday morning and it lasted for 3 hours. Bleugh.

    I'm 19 weeks, and still getting it the odd time... nothing severe thankfully, but a bit of nausea and the odd bit of vomitting...
    As long as I'm eating and not letting myself get too hungry I'm usually ok! Lots of water... minimum 3 litres a day... is helping as well, and is even better as I'm finding it hard to stay hydrated so it's definitely needed!

    I had it up until 15/16 weeks. I was puking maybe twice a day and a lot of nausea inbetween. I lost 2 stone from it all because I couldn't eat anything greasy, had to eat real plain simple food, the smell of stew before you added gravy did set me off the whole of my pregnancy. If you seem to only get it after eating mc donalds or pizza just try avoid these. Hopefully it goes soon enough

    Little and often, plain things if she can, I found any sauces etc made me feel quite bad. Ginger helps, so if she eats some ginger nuts or ginger bread it should help...

    I had totally forgot about vomiting in labour with my 1st but I had all day sickness for my whole pregnancy.
    2nd one I had some morning sickness and spend the pregnancy nauseaus but nothing major.
    Just eat anyhting that you can.

    I'm 29 weeks now and I still get the occasional morning sickness. I find it helps not to let yourself get hungry.

    On my first pregnancy I was horribly sick from 6 weeks to 33 weeks, vomiting daily. I was beginning to think I'd never feel normal again, I hated every minute of it and was miserable. It was a boy.

    This time, I feel sick in the mornings but apart from a bit of nausea I'm grand. I'm only 8 weeks at the moment. I'm convinced it must be a girl!

    Hi there

    I am 23 weeks pregnant and i had hyperemisis (extreme sickness) for the first 16 weeks more or less. I was vomiting 20 to 25 times a day and lost the guts of 2 stone. Was hospitalized 5 times I think. I was told that the pregnancy hormones usually plateau around 16 weeks or so but everyone is different. I still get a bit of nausea but I can cope with it.

    I feel for anyone with sickness because it can really wipe you out completely. But when it is gone you will just love everything that comes with it : ) I hope that it ends soon for anyone that has it.

    NBM
