I started being sick in week 6 and I thought it was the worst type of illness because nothing would stop it. By week 8 I was admitted into hospital on a drip to re-hydrate me. The sickness continued till I was bout 6 months gone and lost 2 stone. But my baby was born healthy with problems. So although it might be hard to go through its all worth it x

I swear by Zofran.  I'm 13 weeks and in the past few weeks it has gotten so bad that I needed IV fluids at the ER.  Not even suppositories would work on.those days.  It is definitely not fun.  The nausea was what made me think I was pregnant (ftm).  I also keep peppermint oil next to my bed and put some drops in the trash can liner so when I do heave the smell of the oil helps me feel better.  I got that at a health food store long ago and was grateful to have it for this.  I'm told the nausea and vomiting tends to peak around 8 weeks and that was very true for me.  You are def not alone.

I know its horrible. Normally it can get better or go at 12 weeks but not always the case. I was sick until 22 weeks, (day and night) with my first pregnancy. This time I only had it until about 11 weeks and was only sick a few times. Welcome to pregnancy! it's worth it in the end ( i promise ) hope it wases soon for you. x
