in the first couple weeks you will get morning sickness. However, you should go to a doctor cause it could be something else.

You need to get checked out by a doctor, you may have other problems than being pregnant.
What is morning sickness?
Morning sickness refers to the nausea and vomiting that some women have when they become pregnant. It is caused by the sudden increase in hormones during pregnancy. Although morning sickness is more common in the morning, it can last all day for some women.
How long will morning sickness last?
Morning sickness is very common early in a pregnancy. It tends to go away later in pregnancy, and it's almost always gone by the second trimester (the fourth month). But there isn't a set time for it to stop because each woman is different, and each pregnancy is different.
Will morning sickness hurt my baby?
It shouldn't. Morning sickness can become more of a problem if you can't keep any foods or fluids down and begin to lose a lot of weight. Many doctors think morning sickness is a good sign because it means the afterbirth (the placenta and fetal membranes) is developing well.
Tips to relieve morning sickness
The tips below may help reduce morning sickness.
Eat small meals throughout the day so that you're never too full or too hungry.
Avoid rich, fatty foods.
Avoid foods with smells that bother you.
Eat more carbohydrates (plain baked potato, white rice, dry toast).
Eat saltine crackers and other bland foods when you feel nauseous.
Try gelatin desserts (Jell-O), flavored frozen desserts (popsicles), chicken broths, ginger ale (nondiet), sugared decaffeinated or herbal teas, and pretzels.
The iron in prenatal vitamins can bother some women. If you think your morning sickness is related to your vitamins, talk with your doctor and he or she may change your vitamins.
Wearing "acupressure" wrist bands, which are sometimes used by passengers on boats to prevent sea sickness, may help some women who have morning sickness. You can buy the bands at boating stores or travel agencies.
If these tips don't give you relief from morning sickness, your doctor may have other ideas. Keep in mind that morning sickness doesn't mean your baby is sick.

Not everyone gets morning sickness, but if you did you would be starting now up until 3 months of pregnancy. You should take a pregnancy test to be sure- it could be all in your head. There were many times I thought I was pregnant until the test showed negative results. Next time stay away from sex or use your head and use a condom.

Morning sickness can happen at any time during a pregnancy. If you think you might be pregnant, you should go see a doctor. By writing in the Teen & Preteen category I'm assuming you're young, so you should DEFINITELY go see a doctor, since your body might not be able to handle pregnancy. I don't think your stomach is supposed to hurt; nausea is morning sickness, not pain. Not to scare you, but you need to go get checked out to make sure it's not something like a tubal pregnancy.

Not everyone has morning sickness and some women r sick the entire pregnancy. You need to take a test. If u r not pregnant u need to stop having sex for now...u sound a little too young to be doing such adult things.

I didn't.
Only 60% of the ppl get morning sickness. I'm one of the lucky 40%. It's not a good indicator of pregnancy.
Could be your nerves making you sick, could be a virus, could be something you ate. It could be ANYTHING.
I mean honestly, it's going to take weeks, if not months, before you'll be able to tell your pregnant (w/o a test). Early signs of pregnancy are identical to those of PMS. There's no way to tell with out a test...at least not until your quite a bit further along. See:

you need to use protection but who am I to tell you that.
Painful or burning urination, or little or no urination.
• Severe or persistent vomiting, or any vomiting accompanied by pain or fever.
• Chills or fever of 100 degrees Fahrenheit or higher.
• Visual disturbances such as double vision, blurring, dimming, flashing lights, or "floaters" (spots in your field of vision).
• Persistent or severe headache, or any headache accompanied by blurred vision, slurred speech, or numbness.
• Any swelling in your face or puffiness around your eyes, anything more than a little swelling in your hands, severe and sudden swelling of your feet or ankles, or a rapid weight gain (more than 4 pounds in a week).
• A persistent or severe leg cramp or calf pain that doesn't ease up when you flex your ankle and point your toes toward your nose or when you walk around, or one leg being significantly more swollen than the other.
• Trauma to the abdomen.
• Fainting, frequent dizziness, a rapid heartbeat, or heart palpitations.
• Difficulty breathing, coughing up blood, or chest pain.
• Severe constipation accompanied by abdominal pain or severe diarrhea that lasts more than 24 hours.
• Persistent intense itching of your torso, arms, legs, palms, or soles, or a feeling of itchiness all over your body.
• Any health problem that you'd ordinarily call your practitioner about even if it's not pregnancy related (like worsening asthma or a cold that gets worse rather than better). Just call a little sooner than you would normally.
If you're not sure whether a symptom is serious, you don't feel like yourself, or you're uneasy, trust your instincts and call your healthcare provider. Your practitioner expects such calls. If there's a problem, you'll get help right away. If nothing's wrong, you'll be reassured.
Your body is changing so rapidly that it's hard to know whether what you're experiencing is "normal." Do yourself and your baby a favor and get any unusual symptoms checked out.

If you think you are pregnant, take a home pregnancy test, then go to the DOCTOR!! We are not doctors, merely regular people just like you!

You're probably stressed out about being pregnant. You need to find a doctor and councilor. Good luck.
