When did you start to feel better?

[landmermaid]

I'm 9.5 weeks now, a few days ago was the sickest I've been so far. All of a sudden, today my nausea is gone and I have energy for the first time in over a month.

This terrifies me.

Last summer, I was 10 weeks and went into my first prenatal appointment. During the ultrasound, there was no heartbeat and the baby was only 8 weeks developed. Looking back, my symptoms had gone away. I was sleeping through the night again, my pregnancy mask had peeled away, and I had energy. I had chalked everything up to getting closer to the 2nd trimester. Also, at 9 weeks was the worst nausea and morning sickness I had had the entire pregnancy. I was completely caught off guard.

This just mimics so closely what I went through last year. My first appointment is next week, 10 weeks again. I'm trying to stay positive and hopeful for this pregnancy, but I can't be blindsided again.

When did you have relief from morning sickness and get your energy back?

I cant quite remember last time, but this time I've been up and down. Around 10 weeks this time, my food aversions went away completely, my morning sickness/vomiting lessened (but not completely gone). Then around 12 weeks the nausea/vomiting came back with a bit of a vengeance. Now at 14 weeks, I still get nausea every couple days and I'm still throwing up 1-2 times a week. It's been so up and down. All that to say, its so different for everyone and you may find your symptoms come back after a bit. But I completely understand why it makes you nervous!

Thank you. This helps to hear that things can ease up around this time normally. I'm trying to be positive, but I'm also over analysing every little thing. I appreciate your sharing. I hope you're feeling better soon!

It was different for me in my two pregnancies, the first it all came on around 7-8 weeks and left around 11.  The second it came on by 5-6 weeks and stayed until 14 or 15.  I don't think there's a ton of rhyme or reason to it though.  I hope you get good news next week.

I was more nauseous during my first pregnancy and the super tired and sick symptoms mostly lifted for me at the 8.5 week mark. I proceeded to freak out until I heard the HB at 10 weeks.

This pregnancy I didn’t have any nausea but I was bone tired for the first 13 weeks. Some of that is attributable to parenting a toddler though.

It's so normal to over analyze during pregnancy, especially first tri! It's such a mind game when appts are few and far between at the start. I hope you have a good reassuring appt next week!

With my first I just had minor nausea that was off and on the whole pregnancy. With my second son I had it for the first 6-7 weeks then it went away. However after it went away it came back with full force around 16 weeks in the form on hyperemesis. I had it from 16-24 weeks and the only thing that kept me from being admitted to the hospital was phenergan. I had to take it when I got to work since I couldn't drive while on it, slept in my car on lunch break and then took another when I got home.

[dreamcrisp1]

I was soooo nauseous until like 9 weeks then was good for 2 weeks until 11 weeks and then it hit me again until 16 weeks. So up and down!

[landmermaid]

Thank you so much everyone. You're giving me hope. I have a 5 and 7 year old, and those pregnancies went off without a hitch, so I didn't pay as close attention to all these things. I cannot remember anything from then.

This has been almost my exact experience (currently 11 wks with #2).

I can’t really speak to the pattern of morning sickness, but I also had a loss last year. Our first baby had a fatal anomaly that was first seen at the 8 week visit. I am now 7w6d in my second pregnancy. It has been such a mind trip trying to manage the anxiety about something being wrong with this baby as well. If I realized how bad my anxiety would be at this stage, I am not sure I would have wanted to TTC. the analyzing and worrying got to me so badly that I had a full blown panic last week. Lots of hugs, well wishes, and deep breaths to you!

On a side note, we had a scan today, and everything looks perfect!

I'm sorry for your loss; PGAL is so tough.

With my son, I had awful m/s until about 14 weeks, even on Diclegis.

With my daughter, I had barely anything. It made me so incredibly anxious.

Both pregnancies were smooth and uneventful and both kids are fine .

I am so sorry for your loss. It does make it hard. I can understand a panic attack. I'm very glad you had a great scan today though! That's wonderful news. I'm very hopeful for you.

I've had three losses in the last year and a half. The loss last summer I ended up having a D&C, but because I wasn't consider RPL yet and I wasn't AMA yet, they didn't think it was necessary to test for any abnormalities. I'm so scared that I just make bad eggs now, and that any baby I could make is going to have something majorly wrong. I can't get out of my own head and just enjoy the possibility of a new, healthy baby.

It's a lot of work to just try and think positively. Or even pretend. I had to tell my dentist I was pregnant yesterday, and she was all "congratulations!!!" and I was much less enthusiastic.

Thank you for all your well wishes. Truly.

First kid I was nauseous weeks 6-8, not bad at all, I was working and not super tired.
Second I was nauseous weeks 5-10, a little tired, but not awful.
This time nausea (and crazy hunger!!) started around 4.5-5 weeks, yesterday and today were the first days that I didn’t have nausea (8 weeks today). But I’ve been OMG SO TIRED. I never remember being this tired, even when the second didn’t sleep. The last couple of days are the first ones I haven’t felt like I’m sleepwalking until nap time. I saw the HB last week at 7w & won’t have another US until 12 weeks, so 🤞🏻

I don't have anything to add more than what others have said. I will say, I didn't have morning sickness at all. But, I'm wishing you all the best and hope you get great news next week at your appointment.

Since you've had several losses, can you talk to your dr about maybe being seen more often for ultrasounds at least the next month or so to help ease your nervous mind? After losses, I cannot even imagine how you've made it to 9.5 weeks without being a total wreck. The one benefit I keep telling myself being high risk is we get to see our little guy much more often than most. My dr. has been amazing and has told me I can come in as often as I feel like I need to due to my history. During 1st tri, I went every 2 weeks starting around 6 weeks and it was almost too long in between for my sanity.

[knx9211]

First tri is SO hard. You want to feel better and then are terrified when you do.

Mine was so up and down. I’d feel great a couple days and then feel terrible again for a week. It was all over the place.

Hoping everything is going well.
