Totally normal, some days I felt back to my normal self and other days I could only eat cornflakes. I found that the fluctuation continued throughout pregnancy and all was well. Good luck, I know it’s an anxious time. I felt anxious for the full 39 weeks but it does get easier as time goes on xx
Try not to worry too much about the fluctuations, enjoy the respite as it’s potentially going to get worse over the coming weeks. I think I had a peak at around 8/9 weeks and starting to feel a bit better at 12. It wasn’t debilitating though, like you say, like a hangover and general icky feeling. Particularly sensitive gag reflex! Some days were better than others.
I think it might be one of those things where you don’t realise you how bad you feel until you feel better!
Yes! I remember this well. I was so sick and then I would randomly get good days where I felt fine and I was convinced everything had gone wrong. I was very anxious because I had miscarried before. Then the sickness would just come back. As I got further along, if I had a few days where I felt ‘normal’, I got hopeful that it was the end of the morning sickness - as everyone talks about it going away at 12 weeks. But it always came back again after one or two days off - usually worse! I’ve been feeling rough through my whole pregnancy. The nausea stuck around for me! But it has definitely been on and off with some good days where you get hopeful it’s stopped. I think it’s normal for you to get some days when you feel better. But yes in the early days I panicked about the symptoms stopping. Currently 35 weeks pregnant and still experiencing the same pattern. Try to enjoy the good days. Everyone said that to me but my anxiety got the better of me. I enjoy the days off the sickness now though
