Looking for my morning sickness to ease
Morning sickness usually starts to ease in the second trimester, with most women feeling better between weeks 12 and 20, often clearing up completely by 16 to 20 weeks, though symptoms vary, and for some, it can unfortunately last longer or even throughout pregnancy.
It typically peaks around week 9 and begins to subside as the first trimester ends and hormonal changes stabilize, but if it's severe and prevents you from eating/drinking, see a doctor about Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG).
Typical Timeline
Starts: Around week 6 of pregnancy.
Peaks: Around week 9.
Eases: Many feel relief by the start of the second trimester (around 12-14 weeks).
Usually Gone By: Weeks 16 to 20 for most.
What to Expect
Not Just Mornings: "Morning sickness" can strike at any time of day or night.
Hormonal Cause: It's linked to the rapid rise in pregnancy hormones in the first trimester.
When to Seek Help
If you're vomiting frequently, can't keep fluids down, or suspect dehydration, contact your midwife or doctor. This could be a sign of Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG), a severe form of pregnancy sickness.
