does the nausea end or become better around 12 weeks? I am so so nauseas that I am just dreading every day and every chore. We are currently in the middle of summer and I am just finding it very hard. Luckily fruit is plentiful so that helps. I had very sore breasts, but that is better, and now have colostrum coming out of my nipples..other than that not many other symptoms. So different from my boys, where from the beginning I had pain and was very tired, yet no nausea. 

I am nearly 10 weeks(Wednesday).

I am 12 weeks today, but sorry to say I am still sick and my breasts are as sore as ever. I also developed headaches in the last week. I remember starting to feel better around 14 weeks with my dd. I sympathize with morning sickness in the summer! It is terrible!

I'm 11 weeks today and feeling much better. I think though, that has more to do with the iv fluids/meds I get every couple of days. I've never gotten relief before 14 weeks in my other pregnancies.

I hope you get some relief soon! Morning sickness in the heat is the worst!

14 weeks was the magic week for me too with my first 2 pregnancies. 18 weeks with my girl. This one, I haven't had much nausea, but I have strong smell and taste aversions that I'm hoping with go away soon. In my 11th week now. 12 weeks Monday.

I am 12.5weeks and have found nausea really has been better for me over the last few days, not gone entirely but definitely much better. I hope you get some relief soon too!

[danielnathan]

Thanks everyone. This is the first time I have this nausea. It is really no fun. Hope it will be gone soon!

This is the first time since my 3rd pregnancy that I've had nausea so bad. I'm grateful I'm not throwing up, but would really like to start feeling better soon. I've got things I want to do! LOL

I am counting down the days to week 12 and hoping that this will get better. I had gone two weeks vomit free, but I got a dumb cold and the coughing aggravated my gag reflex. Here's to week 12 or 14!

[ashleybrook]

rainbownurse--i got that same cough/cold and that coughing really brought out the gag reflex and the vomiting. :( yuck. 

i'm 12.5 weeks and started to feel a bit better in the last couple of weeks. i didn't do hardly any vomiting this time, where i was an at least once a day vomiter last time...but i still had same nausea symptoms. anyways, last time i started turning the corner at 12 weeks but vomited for the last time at 28 weeks. this time i started doing acupuncture which has not miraculously taken away the nausea, but has helped for a day or two.

mostly just time i think. i've got things i want to do too! so i'm glad i've started to be able to help my husband a little again--like do the dishes a bit...or straighten up. not yet cooking, but i'm going to attempt a soup today. i was pretty unhelpful in every area around the house, and i feel like i'm starting the climb out to the other side!

here's hoping we all feel better soon!

I just started feeling if not better then at least more used to it at 9 weeks.... hopefully that's not a bad sign, because I feel much better generally!

I'm 12 weeks tomorrow and things are definitely settling down. It's a slow process but I am starting to feel a bit more myself and able to eat more variety. I have high hopes that this is the beginning of the end of the NVP for me! I've been finding my chiro adjustments to help quite a bit too.

[coalifetime]

I am starting to feel better, with only some nausea in the evening.  I am around 9 to 10 weeks and it also makes me feel nervous that I am feeling better.  I hope baby is okay!

[ashleybrook]

13.5 weeks now and feeling way better-- i can't believe the difference a week has made! and this is nothing like my last pregnancy-- i'll take it! 

[phobiageek]

I was counting down to 12 weeks and I'm now 13 weeks. Goof news is I'm definitely not as sick, itself practically gone but I am still EXHAUSTED. Hoping that gets better in a couple of weeks.

Agreed! I am 12 weeks and I think I am *more* exhausted now that I'm not thinking about food & its effects nonstop. I definitely feel *better* in general, but SO TIRED.

[danielnathan]

I am 11 weeks and 2 days now, and feeling much better. I still am super sensitive to smells, hubby had to get a different coffee maker. I just have not had the super tiredness at all yet. Also not going to the toilet often. Am I normal? I am glad some of us are feeling better. Makes it just feel better hey!

[lolliegee]

12 weeks, 2 days, still quite nauseous, but having moments where it's not as bad. I'm really hoping those moments start stretching out soon. Especially because we're getting an overnighter for our anniversary this weekend and I really want to enjoy it!

[cynthiamoon]

I started feeling better last week at 10, and today, at 11, I keep feeling much more normal, though there are still bad days. 

[wrenmoon]

I'm 13 weeks and still feel pretty cruddy. 14 was the magic number last time. I'm totally counting on it cause I am getting on an airplane of Friday and things could get ugly if I'm not feeling better by then. Maybe 13.5 will be the magic number this time.

[InLove2009]

I started to feel better, and I commented on it o my husband. I should not have done that. Today I was not able to keep ANYTHING down. No drink, no food. I think today was the worst day yet, I had to change outfits a few time and take 2 showers.....I am 12 weeks today. I hope this is not going to last much longer.
