When do you start feeling better?

Li

Hello, first pregnancy here! I’m 8w2d and have been feeling quite sick the past week, nauseous all day long, exhausted and irritable. For all the experienced mamas, when do you start feeling better? It’s quite difficult to work and do everything when I feel this low.

With my first I never had any nausea. With my second my nausea lasted from the beginning to 12 weeks. No nausea this time around.

Right around 12 weeks both times. Praying it’s the same this time around because I am 9 weeks now with the worst sickness this time around 🥴

and thank you!! Nausea is the worst feeling for me having emetophobia. I would take labor pain over this for real!! Went all natural with my last baby & I can honestly say I prefer that over this!

Nope! Much worse with my boys. The 2nd was my girl. Shortest duration & whenever I laid down, I instantly felt better. I didn’t get any such break with my 1st boy & my 2nd boy it took hours of lying down to feel better. It’s going the same with this one but we’re hoping it’s a girl despite my symptoms 🙏 did sneak peek today so we will know soon! 🤞🤞🤞

With my 1st pregnancy I didn’t start feeling like myself again until 12wks. Right now I’m 9wks and still not feeling well. Hoping by 12wks I’ll feel better again. Hang in there ❤️

With my first it was bad from week 6-12. This pregnancy is not as bad. Still moments of nausea and exhaustion but less. Lots of protein and constant snacking seem to help. Unisom and b6 take the edge off. Lol

Thank you for answering! I’m with unisom and b6 already but on very low doses, I’ll ask my doctor about it on my next visit.

With my first, By 12 weeks I noticed the edge comes off. I didn’t feel 100% better till 20 weeks, but after 12 it felt manageable.

Between 11-14 weeks. I always feel sick longer with girls.
