How long does pregnancy sickness last?
I'm in my first trimester and the morning sickness is really getting to me. It's almost all day, not just morning. How long can I expect this pregnancy sickness to last, please tell?

It varies a lot for different women. For many, it starts improving by the second trimester. Small, frequent meals can sometimes help.
I totally get it, morning sickness (or all-day sickness!) is just awful and can make you feel so drained. For most, it starts improving significantly by the end of the first trimester, around 12-14 weeks. But some unlucky ones, like my sister, had it throughout. Just do what you can to survive each day.
Don't worry too much, this is a very common part of pregnancy. For most women, the nausea and vomiting start to subside by the beginning of the second trimester, around weeks 12-16. Just focus on staying hydrated and eating whatever you can keep down. If it's too severe, talk to your doctor.
Ah, pregnancy sickness, I remember it well! For me, it started around 6 weeks and finally eased up by 14-16 weeks with both my children. It feels never-ending when you're in it, but it does pass. Hang in there, dear.

Ugh, pregnancy sickness can really ruin your appetite, right? Like, where did all the craving for jalebis go? 😂 For me, the worst of it was over by around 15 weeks. After that, I could actually enjoy my food again! Try keeping bland snacks like crackers nearby.
