When does sickness in pregnancy end?

Been dealing with morning sickness since I got pregnant, and honestly, it's quite tough. Just want to know when does the sickness in pregnancy usually start to ease off or end completely?

End? What's 'end'? 😂 Kidding (mostly)! For most, it eases up by the second trimester, around 12-14 weeks. But for some unlucky souls like me, it hangs around longer, even till delivery. Just survive one day at a time!

My OB/GYN explained that 'morning sickness' is a misnomer, as it can occur any time of day. For about 80% of pregnant women, it typically subsides or significantly improves by the end of the first trimester, usually between weeks 12-16. However, a smaller percentage can experience it throughout their entire pregnancy, known as hyperemesis gravidarum in severe cases.

Uff, sickness! It can ruin all the fun of pregnancy food cravings. Generally, it tapers off after the first three months, then you can finally enjoy those pickles and ice cream without fear! 😂 But if it's really bad, definitely tell your doctor, they can help you manage.

I've been reading up for my friend, and it seems like the first trimester (up to 12-14 weeks) is usually the worst for morning sickness. But it really depends on the person. Some get lucky and it goes away fast, others struggle for months. Hope it ends for you soon!

Bhai, ya toh 3 mahine tak, ya fir pura pregnancy. Har kisi ka alag hota hai. Zyada tension mat lo, doctor se puchho aur jo dawa de woh lo. Bas!

With conditions like PCOS, pregnancy can already bring its own set of challenges, and then sickness on top of it is just tough. While most women find relief by the second trimester, I'd say it's best to discuss your specific symptoms and concerns with your doctor. Everyone's body is different, so what worked for one person might not be the same for you.
