Mine started around 6 weeks - lots of women seem to get it around then.

nickytwotimes · 25/02/2009 16:36

I was really early, just after my period was missed. God, it was shit, but worth it!

MarsGalaxyDairyMilkMyPassions · 25/02/2009 16:37

You might not get it at all, or you might have it in a very mild form. Don't panic.

MarsGalaxyDairyMilkMyPassions · 25/02/2009 16:41

I am afraid mine hit at 6 weeks but to be honest with you those seabands were a god send.

KingRolo · 25/02/2009 16:44

6 weeks - 10 weeks but I was never sick and only felt queasy in the evening. For me, the tiredness was much, much worse but I could deal with that by just going to bed.

Hangingbellyofbabylon · 25/02/2009 16:47

5 weeks and still going strong now at 11 weeks! everyone different though, my friend is just starting to feel a bit sick at 8 weeks.

First time 6 weeks for ten weeks.

This time was feeling off from 4 weeks, but figured it out quicker as not at uni doing that whole beer thing!

minouminou · 25/02/2009 16:54

Around 6 weeks, when it went from 0-60 both times.
Oh, HBOB, how're you doing?

Snowfalls108 · 25/02/2009 16:55

4 weeks! I'm now 10+6 and haven't had any for a couple of days (which I'm actually finding a big worrying).
I also found seabands helped. I slept without them, but would put them on about 20 minutes before getting out of bed.
Other than that avoiding coffee smells, and greasy food helped, and making sure I'm not too tired - when stressed it got a lot worse.

mersmam · 25/02/2009 17:42

Mine has normally lasted from 5 or 6 weeks until about 12 weeks (but strted to ease off at around 9 weeks).
Snowfalls - I had the same worries as you when I was having my last DC, but when I went for my scan I found the baby was actually due 8 days earlier than I'd thought - so perhaps it will be the same for you! (4 weeks is very early for it to start, would make much more sense if you were really 5+ weeks then and 12 weeks now!)

sarah76 · 25/02/2009 18:01

Started at 6 weeks exactly, with no warning. Before breakfast, was washing down my pregnacare vitamin with a swig of diet coke (something I have stopped doing BTW!). All of a sudden I was in the toilet being sick. It's still going on at 14 weeks.

mersmam · 25/02/2009 18:17

I've read that 6 weeks is the normal time to start sarah76. With my DD2 I actually woke up at 1am on the day of me being six weeks and was sick for the first time!!!!
Hope it gets better for you soon.
BTW - diet coke is the only thing I can keep down in the early stages of morning sickness! Don't know WHAT my body is trying to tell me...

highrise · 25/02/2009 19:47

started at 5 weeks disappeared around 17-18 weeks. Sprite was the saver for me...and fox's glacier fruits...

Mummywannabe · 25/02/2009 20:31

4 weeks, before I knew I was pregnant. I thought I was ill as kept being sick during the day. Then realised I might be pregnant so tested and I was.
