When do the symptoms of morning sickness start?

Question

I just found out that I am pregnant but I don't feel anything like morning sickness. I do get a little nauseous but no vomiting.

Answer 1

Nausea is one of the first signs of pregnancy and is very common in the early stages. It starts somewhere between the fourth and sixth week of pregnancy and is therefore one of the first pregnancy signs. For most women, morning sickness will disappear by the 14th to 16th week. Some women experience NVP throughout their entire pregnancy. There are several factors at play including pregnancy hormones and higher sensitivity to odors.

Answer 2

First off let me congratulate you on the wonderful event in your life.

Not everyone experiences morning sickness. Some women only feel that nauseous feeling that you describe but don't ever feel the urge to vomit. This also doesn't necessarily happen in the "morning" ... it can be anytime of the day or several times throughout the day.

Don't wait for anything specific to happen .... just relax and try to remember all of you pregnancy experience. It makes for great stories later on in your life. Trust me .... my pregnancy was 23 years ago and I still remember it like it was yesterday.

I've hear women tell their morning sickness stories .... and some of them didn't have ANY nausea or vomiting until they went into the delivery room. Then they spewed like fountains. ; )

Make sure that you see your doctor regularly for check-ups and follow advise given by your physician. Best of luck with all you have ahead of you and let me assure you ... whatever sickness you experience .... you would happily experience it again when your baby has grown into a teenager and out driving alone for the first time!! That kind of sickness will be a much more difficult experience!

Best wishes for a happy pregnancy and a very healthy and happy child!

Answer 3

For me, morning sickness starts at 3 weeks of pregnancy and lasts until the 5th month. With every woman it's different (some don't get it at all) and sometimes each pregnancy is different.

With my first pregnancy, for instance, my morning sickness came on very gradually. It started at 3 weeks with nausea and some food aversions, then it got worse with some vomiting (but not excessive) and then around 4 or 5 months it was back to nausea only and then that went away.

I think it has to do with the rise and fall of the pregnancy hormone levels and how well each woman's body tolerates it.

Congrats on your baby!

Answer 4

Each women is diffferent. It started my morning sickness around 13 weeks and it only lasted until I was 18 weeks, so you can say I was probably lucky! Some women have morning sickness from start to finish 24 hours a day. Some get sick in the afternoon or night.

Answer 5

well i am 6-7 weeks pregnant and i just started feeling blah. i get really nauseous and loss of appetite at times. I haven't gotten sick at yet thank god. With my first son i threw up the whole 7 months till like 2 days before i went into preterm labor with him. I also had toxemia poisoning real bad. This time though its not bad but here are a few tips don't take prenatal vitamins take flinstones the prenatals ur dr's give taste aweful when they come back up and if ur a milk drinker make it chocolate milk it doesn't taste curtled when it comes back up. I know it sounds gross but its true also when feeling upset drink caffeine free ginger ale and try wheat toast dry.

Answer 6

Every woman is different morning sickness can start day after conception or not at all . You may get lucky and only get the nausea and no vomiting.

Answer 7

The main cause of morning sickness is a combination of issues related to the chemical changes your body is going through. Mix a pinch of nutmeg powder with a table spoon of gooseberry juice, and take it thrice a day. Sip little by little ginger juice mixed with honey before you get out of bed.

Answer 8

I got nauseous about three weeks, (this is how I knew I was prego before missing my period) but I never actually threw up. So you may not either. If so, just thank your lucky starts.

Answer 9

I think usually around 6-8wks if you're going to have it -good luck i had the worse morning sickness it was like the permanent flu !!

Answer 10

it can start as early as a few days before your period is due or as late as 12 weeks! but most people it starts around 7 weeks pregnant when you have lots of pregnancy hormones built up.
