I was curious when exactly it starts. And how bad was it.

I'm about 6 1/2 months and I haven't really been at all. It just depends on who you are. I didn't get morning sickness either . . .

Mine started around 6 weeks. It has been horrible! I have been eating the Mrs. Baird's Fiber Plus wheat bread (2 slices is 98% daily value for fiber) and it really hasn't helped a whole lot. I have had aversions to veggies (and I normally love veggies!). I forced myself to eat brocoli the other day and it helped. It has been so bad that I have gotten hemrhoids(spelling?). NOT COOL!!! I am now nearly 9 weeks and its easing up some now.
I have had heartburn since right before I even knew I was pregnant. They say that it is because the hormones cause your digestive system to be sluggish.

i'm not entirely sure when it started but i know it was early on in the pregnancy, maybe 7 or 8 weeks along. it wasn't too bad . . . at first, but got worse later on. i'm still having some difficulty with it (not sure what to eat other than . . . green veggies and i really CANNOT stand them right now!!!). and yes, i know water helps too though but that really doesn't help. anyways, it got pretty bad to where i was bloated with gas and other stuff and just felt so uncomfortable. okay, i'm going to stop before i go into TMI mode. hahah.

It completely depends on your body. Everyone is different. If you do have problems with it though there are Prenatal Vitamins available by prescription that contain stool softeners which would help with the constipation.

Immeadiately. It's kind of funny, as soon as I was sure I was pregnant, I was constipated like crazy (2-4 days) and I was so sure I was showing!!
But if you eat tons of fruit and raisins and prunes, you will be fine.
Also, prenatal vitamins make it sooo much worse!!
Ask your health care professional what you are allowed to take.

Mine started almost instantly from conception. I had it so bad that first week, I almost had to go to the ER. After that though, I have been taking Senecot(stool softeners) the whole time and haven't had too many problems since.
