Is nausea one of the first signs of pregnancy...?

Question

I may be three or four weeks pregnant, is it possible that I am feeling pregnancy related nausea at this point.

Answer 1

Here you go. Everything you need to know. I am keeping my fingers crossed for you!- dd

1. Tender breasts: Many women report increased sensitivity, fullness, or heaviness within a few days. By two weeks after conception, your areolas (the pinkish or brown skin surrounding the nipples) may start to enlarge.

2. Spotting: Scantier than a period and sometimes mixed with a yellowish discharge, a small amount of bleeding may occur when the developing egg implants itself in your uterine wall.

3. Fatigue: Can't keep awake at work? If you feel tired even after a good night's sleep, your body may be going through the changes of early pregnancy.

4. Nausea: Don't think of it as "morning sickness," since it can strike at any time of the day or night. It might feel like a slight case of seasickness or a full-fledged stomach virus -- or you may not experience it at all.

5. Bloating: Many women mistake this early sign of pregnancy for PMS; the tip-off may come when your period doesn't arrive.

6. Increased urination: You may need to go to the bathroom more than usual, a symptom that will return in spades during your last trimester.

7. Stretching of pelvic ligaments: During the course of a normal pregnancy, the uterus will grow to about 1,000 times its prepregnant size (imagine a pear turning into a basketball). Some women feel their pelvic ligaments stretching to make room for this growth to occur.

8. Food cravings: If you suddenly find yourself ravenous for citrus fruits, red meat (even if you're a vegetarian), or potato chips, don't assume it's all in your head. Pregnant bodies may crave increased amounts of vitamin C, iron, and salt -- among other things -- even from the very beginning.

Answer 2

I was feeling the nausea at 3 weeks.

I'm now at 6 weeks and it's still here.

I never had it with my first pregnancy, but I've definately got it with this one.

Answer 3

That's what morning sickness feels like.

Is it worse when ya drink coffee? It was for me and my Mom. Neither one of us could drink any coffee, it would make us throw up!

Don't panic yourself over it, though. Get a real check-up. Or one of those over the counter tests if ya dont want to be bothered with it.

If you are, Congrats! Having a baby is a beautiful thing.

Might be in some cases, but usually the best way to tell is if your breast are hurting and tender, if your nipples are darker and the bumps on them are bigger you are.
