When did your pregnancy sickness get better?

I’m almost 8 weeks pregnant with my second, and the sickness this time is horrific. With my first little boy I had zero sickness at all, my pregnancy was a breeze. But this time it’s taken me out, and ofc I wasn’t expecting this as my first was so easy. I am gagging every 10 minutes almost throwing up, I am exhausted and I can hardly do anything, I can hardly eat and drink, I’ve never felt so ill in all my life.
When does this subside, because the mum guilt is eating me alive as I am feeling so unwell I cant do much with my little boy

(Fyi I’ve already had an early scan and there is one healthy baby ❤️)

About 15/16 weeks 🫣

I had to get medication for mine and I wasn't able to stop taking it until 14-15 weeks

sorry to say that mine got a little better but never went away and i'm still very ill at 22 weeks. when you're this sick, that's a possibility. everyone told me it should go away by weeks 16-20, then when it didn't, they were like "oh yeah it never goes away for some women" and i felt pretty betrayed that no doctors really had that discussion with me. that said there's still every chance it does go away early second trimester.

either way don't suffer in silence. get your drs to give you medicine and keep trying different meds until you get relief. it's often a battle but you're entitled to it. a charity called Pregnancy Sickness Support can also give you all the guidance you need to advocate for yourself and get medicine.

stay strong ❤️

I answered 12-13 weeks but more realistic answer would be 14-15weeks

I got medication from the doctor at 8 weeks and took it until about 15 weeks. I would not have survived else. I was sick every time I got in a car and by 8 am in the morning I had been sick about 7 times.
