Tangerine Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 For my own morbid curiosity. It's kind a poll question, but I think everyone is polled out right now. I tried to stop my morning sickness cocktail (Unisom and b6) yet again at 19 weeks. Unsuccessfully. This child is quite a pill. :) So, how long did morning sickness last for you?

Meriwether Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 Three months solid with each. An aquaintance of mine has 8 kids and had morning sickness with each for 9 months. Six years of morning sickness. :svengo: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tress Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 First pregnancy: 20 weeks, second-third-fourth pregnancy: 9 months. And this was whole-day-whole-night-every-day-I'm-too-ill-to-do-anything-"morning" sickness. My baby is 9 months now and if I think back to this last pregnancy I'm still almost ready to cry. It was bad. I hope you are starting to feel better soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChristusG Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 1st pregnancy - didn't have morning sickness....just a very tiny bit of queasiness here and there. 2nd pregnancy - I was sick from about 6 weeks until 15 weeks. I threw up sometimes. Sometimes I felt fine. Most times I felt queasiness. This pregnancy - I felt like I was going to die in the beginning. I was pretty much on the couch from 6 week to 13 weeks. Always nauseous, nothing sounded good to eat, threw up often. Ick....SO glad that is over with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daffodil Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 I'm pregnant with my third, and this is my first time experiencing morning sickness. Now at 14 weeks I'm feeling fine during the day but awful in the evenings and at night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paige Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 Mine usually starts around 9 weeks and lasts the rest of the time. Throwing up just became part of my daily routine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaithManor Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 #1 - 5 months. Lost weight. Threw up a minimum 3 times per day with my record being 18 and then dry heaves. #2 - 3 months #3 - 3 months #4 - 9 months of nausea, but very little actual vomitting. I know there are women out there that have these pregnancies where they glow, their skin is wonderful, they seem so happy, so content....I am the cranky, pale/ashen blob with the feint greenish tinge. Pregnancies are hideous on me. Giving birth is a no brainer. It's the end of a lot of suffering. I hate being pregnant. Faith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RebeccaS Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 :grouphug::grouphug: I have a very limited experience with it and it was not fun. For me: almost 3 weeks with my first. No morning sickness at all for the other 2. My lil' sis: Shortly after conception-birth with all 3. IIRC, she was barfing during delivery with #2. By the time she was pregnant with her 3rd, she decided to take the prescription meds (it was offered for the other 2, but she declined). I hope you get some relief soon. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impish Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 #1 - faintly queasy, only threw up once when I was fed undercooked bacon. #2 - what I thought was morning sickness turned out to be the flu. #3 - Queasy on and off, peppermint to the rescue. #4 - Same as #3 #5 - current - Oh. My. Word. Sick morning and night. Went away around 14, 16 wks, and nausea is now back (35 wks tomorrow). Hyper, hyper, hyper sensitive sense of smell, completely over reactive gag reflex.

Joyofsixreboot Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 Sadly, to the day of delivery all 7 times (not counting being sick w/mc). I did manage to stop IV's about 24 weeks so I guess theoretically that was better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linguistmama Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 I've taken hg meds all three times. 1 Took meds the whole time. At about 7 months I was able to reduce the dose, but could not stop completely. 2 Took meds until 5 months when homeopathy fixed it and I stopped meds 3 Homeopathy didn't work. Still currently taking meds at max dose at 6 months. Several weeks ago I missed a dose and felt horrible for the next week. No more trying to reduce for me. Just grateful to be getting closer to holding my baby. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iona Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 With my 1st 12 weeks, my 2nd around 6 months and with the 3rd it lingered even longer. My sickness was just a general feeling of nausea that would only subside while I was actually eating...I gained a lot of excess weight.

Only the first trimester - you poor thing. I hope it goes away soon! I do know one woman...oh, wait - that falls into the "stories you don't tell pregnant women" category! Feel better!

LittleIzumi Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 12-14 weeks of just nausea & extreme food aversions with each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsBasil Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 :grouphug: 1st pregnancy: All 9 months, last bout being while I was giving birth. Needed HG meds just to keep water down. Severe food aversions. Lost weight. 2nd pregnancy: About 7-ish months. Need meds daily in order to keep food down, but I am able to eat and drink. Severe food aversions continue though. But! I've gained weight this time. :) :grouphug::grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tangerine Posted October 9, 2011 Author Share Posted October 9, 2011 My FIL just came over and did acupuncture on me. We're going to do a few rounds and see if that helps. In the meantime, it's back to the Unisom for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joannqn Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 I have to take unisom and B6 until I give birth. With my first, the midwife wanted me to stop at 20 weeks. I wasn't throwing up anymore but I felt rotten the entire pregnancy. The second child was the same way after I quit taking it at 24 weeks. With the third and fourth, I just took it all the way through and felt much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reign Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 The day I had my youngest I threw up twice. I was still on anti nausea pulls too. My oldest I stopped at 27 weeks. The middle child was easiest at 21 weeks. I was very sick though. Lost 29 pounds with my first! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

littleWMN Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 A random question... Does unison help on it's own or only with the b6? It can help on it's own. My b6 level was high with my last pregnancy so I couldn't take any. Unisom helped some at times (hyperemesis). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twoforjoy Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 9 weeks or so with #1--I got off really easy. About 22 weeks with #2--it was miserable, and my reflux kicked in about two weeks later. 15 or 16 weeks with #3. I only threw up once or twice with each of them; the morning sickness was more constant nausea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
higginszoo Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 With my boys, it was pretty normal -- between weeks 6 and 8 to week 11 or 12 or so. With the girls, it started in week 3 (before I knew), and lasted until week 21-22. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duckens Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 For child #1: Morning sickness ended once I learned to (1) eat in small portions, especially before getting out of bed in the morning and (2) avoid ALL forms of fast food and junk food. Even later in the pregnancy, and after months of no vomiting, I suffered dire consequences for sharing a sandwich from Wendy's with Loverboy. Child #1 craved greens: spinach, kale, swiss chard, collards. How the heck do you cook those things? I learned. Child #2: I was nauseous the ENTIRE PREGNANCY. I nearly threw up the "anti-nausea" drugs on the C-section surgery table. Saltines and ginger should have calmed my stomach, but still made me vomit. The THOUGHT of taking any sort of pills (including pregnancy vitamins) made me yarp...so the doctors finally put me on Flintstones chewables. Gum worked, but I had to have it handy at all times. Even while chewing gum, I would start to hurl, so I would have to hustle to put extra gum in my mouth to beat the nausea before natural consequences ensued. My record is 11 pieces of gum in my mouth. The good news: My nausea suddenly disappeared near the end of last November. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moniksca Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Nothing with ds 1 and 2 and the first three months with #3, all day everyday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommy22alyns Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 10 weeks the first time and 15 weeks the second. No wonder I haven't had a third! :D And yes, all day every day too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joker Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 #1 - I was sick until 6 months along and threw up about 2x day. #2 - I was sick until 5 months along and sometimes threw up 10x day ~ it was the absolute worst. I think it was worse because I had a two year old to take care of so I wasn't able to take it easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Word Nerd Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 With the first, I had it for the first four months or so, but in the late afternoon and at night rather than in the morning. It was replaced by heartburn in the evening, which was still an improvement. With the second, I didn't have it at all except for some occasional bouts of nausea brought on by yucky smells.

Annie Laurie Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 #1 was 4 months of throwing up and nausea. #2 was 3 months of nausea and exhaustion but no throwing up. #3 was 2 months of nausea and exhaustion. #4 was 3 months of nausea and exhaustion. #5 was 3 months of nausea and exhaustion. Except for the first one, I've gotten off pretty easy. I feel great by 3 or 4 months of pregnancy and never have complications. But I have very long, painful labors to make up for it. ;) #5 was 22 hours of hard labor and I was pretty annoyed about that- I thought labors were supposed to get shorter with the more kids you have.

Veritaserum Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 It varied. Shortest was 3 months. Longest was 6 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
