So, I thought I was getting out easy on this pregnancy because until now, I felt wonderful and could eat everything. All of a sudden, once the eighth week hit, I feel horrible, throwing up all day and night. Did anyone else develop symptoms this late? It seems kind of odd to me that this wasn't happening a few weeks ago.
I edit to add: I had HG with the first pregnancy and only first trimester morning sickness with the second. They both began around 6 and a half weeks.
Most people don't even know to test for pregnancy until 6-8 weeks along because that's when symptoms start for them. It's not odd at all. It's perfectly typical.
I never had symptoms until about 7 weeks, and then when I did they lasted my entire pregnancy.
I started getting violently ill at 7 weeks, and didn't stop until he was out of me.
Most women I've met didn't start feeling bad until the 5-8 week mark. Hopefully, you will be the norm and start to feel better once the first trimesters over!!! Take it easy!
Actually, most women experience no real symptoms until the 7th week. Vomiting usually kicks in around week 8.
I've been through 6 first trimesters and its week 8 that really hits you. For me wk 6 is the first twinges of nausea and wk 8 it gets much worse, wk 11 is the pinnacle of wretchedness, and if you are lucky you feel relief by wk 12. If not lucky you will puke until you are 5 months. If really unlucky you will puke until the day you deliver.
I was luck this time & only had morning sickness from the middle of week 7 to the middle of week 8. I'm now 10 Weeks & feel fantastic.
I hope it gets better for you. Zofran was a life saver. 8 weeks isn't late for getting symptoms.
8-9 weeks was the only time I felt queasy during my first trimester.
My morning sickness lasted all day and started at around 7-8 weeks and lasted until week 14-15. I did not throw up that much but could not eat or smell almost anything. The smell of cooked food would make me sick in no time, so I ate lots of salty crackers, fruits, vegetables...etc. Unfortunatelly, I got it back last week, at 29 weeks, but I've taken Maalox 1-2 times/day and feel much better. Not sure Maalox is ok in the first trimester though. Hope you'll feel better soon! Good luck!
Awwww...poor sweeting. I'm so sorry you're feeling crappy. I didn't get sick, but I do wish you the very best. Hopefully you'll be able to find something to help.
My last one, i threw up from 8 weeks-24 weeks. The one before that, i was throwing up before i got a positive pregnancy test....but that was extreme, i was sick the entire time on ivs.
I wanted to add: protein, protein, protein. I couldn't eat meat....but soy milk (flavored with chai was good), protein powder in smoothie...i lived on these. i also did acupuncture and it helped for a few days to a week...well worth the money. Sucking on ginger (from asian market), i also used magnets on my wrist...acupuncturist showed me where to place....they worked better than sea bands.
Good luck, this too shall pass.
