Now, for me anyway.

I think as a general rule, it starts around 6-8 weeks, intensifies up to 10-12, and then subsides sometime around 12-14. This is for most/many/some people... It is definitely not true for all. Some are sick earlier, longer, or even (horribly) throughout their entire pregnancies (poor things).

Mine began early (5-6 weeks) last time, got progressively worse until 10-11 when I literally couldn't keep anything down for a few days. I got on Zofran at that point and continued taking it twice a day until sometime between 20-22 weeks. I don't remember exactly when I finally was able to stop. I would have occasional bouts of nausea later on and pop one if needed, but didn't have to take it religiously anymore. If I didn't take it twice a day during that time, I would get sick again within 12 hours of missing a dose. It was miserable. I couldn't have functioned without Zofran. I'll be asking for a new prescription at my appointment Tuesday. I'm not messing around this time.

I can't remember when mine started.. I think around 7-8ish, and it was really random when I did have it.

I remember because I logged it in my pregnancy app, and I'm using the same one, just started a new pregnancy to track. I also remember the first time I actually threw up was 7 weeks on the dot, and I felt crappy for at least a week or two before that, just didn't get sick.

It's crazy how it's all coming back to me, especially since the dating of the two pregnancies is so close, just 2 years apart.

^^are you having spotting?  I've had some light brown spotting - is this ok?  I didn't have this with my first pregnancy, so it makes me very nervous.

I had brown spotting during my first pregnancy. I can't remember what week it was, but I did spot pretty often during the first trimester.

Sorry I know I'm digging up an old thread but what app are you using?

I am so relieved to hear how common the light brown spotting is. I didn't have it for my first pregnancy but I'm having it now. I emailed my OB earlier this week and she said it's likely just implantation bleeding. I joked to DH that this kid must be trying to dig to China or something!!

It's totally fine, this thread can keep on going as long as people have questions.

It's iPregnancy I think. I was using iPeriod to track my periods before I got KU with DD so it offered to me and I think I bought the full version. I left it on my phone since it had pics and details from that whole pregnancy, and then you can just add another and start new. So I can switch back and forth and see stuff from the first time around. Kind of fun. I wouldn't say it's the BEST one out there, by any means, but I liked/like it okay.
