Pregnancy

When to expect morning sickness?

34 replies

Hi all,
Was wondering just as the title says, when might morning sickness kick in? Got my BFP last week, so I guess 3 weeks since ovulation roughly, and wondering when I might expect to start feeling hideously nauseous. Nothing as of yet really, nothing I can definitely pin on pregnancy (rather than post easting food settling stuff).
So, when did it start for you?

My first pregnancy I was sick for 17weeks and then literally one day I woke up and it was like someone had flicked a switch and I felt great!!
This is my 2nd pregnancy (10years on) and at 7weeks I have been suffering for a week or so but it seems to be during the night!!! Grrrr! Waking up every night 2-3am and then can't sleep for hours. End result is I am totally shattered during day.
I hope this doesn't continue for as long as 1st pg as I will be able to audition for the lead role in a Zombie movie!

I've not had it. Weeks 5-12 I am ravenous but never sick.

Sarahmains40 · 26/08/2013 19:23

I'm 6 nearly 7 weeks and last week sickness kicked in I threw up all over my dinner driving nearly throwing up. I wake my self up borking. And as for "morning sickness" I should be so lucky I feel sick all day and night and have threw up a couple of times a day. I could handle being sick its actually feeling sick all day that is exhausting . I went in to this a little bit naive I though I'd feel a bit sick first thing and that be it. I just want to feel normal again. :( :(

TarkaTheOtter · 26/08/2013 17:12

Weeks 9-16 for me both times.

JethroTull · 26/08/2013 16:43

I didn't have any

Lost my appetite a bit in the first couple of months but that was soon back with a vengeance after 12ish weeks.

Norfolknway · 26/08/2013 16:34

I didn't get any. Felt queasy for a few months but generally ok

PastaBeeandCheese · 26/08/2013 14:44

Didn't have any sickness or nausea in this pregnancy or my last.

DaleyBump · 26/08/2013 14:41

My sickness started at 8 weeks and tapered off around 14 weeks :) hopefully you'll be lucky and get none!

KittyCatKittyCat · 26/08/2013 14:35

The closest thing I seem to have is every time I eat a full meal (normal, usual sized lunch or dinner), my stomach feels like a rock as if there's less room than usual, or it won't go down and it feels 'stuck', v uncomfortable. If I jogged on it I'd probably puke.
Does that count as pregnancy nausea? I thought you had to eat to avoid the sickness, not feel sick after the eating!

I start feeling sick around 5 weeks and then the vomiting begins in earnest at six weeks and goes on well into the seco d trimester. It's just hideous.

MummyJetsetter · 25/08/2013 22:41

I didn't have any with ds1 and in this pg I lost my appetite but no nausea. I think the symptoms if you get any kick in when your body takes over from the yolk sack at about 6-7 weeks, until then the baby isn't even connected to your body. x

TheContrastOfWhiteOnWhite · 25/08/2013 22:32

I've never had it. Five pregnancies, two miscarriages, two children, one early days.

Smoolett · 25/08/2013 22:30

I've never had any sickness but have had horrendous nausea from about 6 weeks. It's only just starting to pass now (I hope) at 12+3.

TallulahBetty · 25/08/2013 22:11

I didn't have a peep til 10 weeks. Was so smug.

Then I had it every day til the day I had DD at 39 weeks

cathperera78 · 25/08/2013 22:03

I had no sickness at all with my first two but with this one I was nauseous for 2 weeks, every day morning to evening. The trick I think is to eat bland things little and often and keep hydrated. It does pass!

Seff · 25/08/2013 21:09

With DD I had nausea from about 6 weeks, threw up every morning from around 8-12 weeks, then it went away until later on when it returned.

This time, I'm around 11-12 weeks and I've only had 2 days of actually being sick :) Just hoping this continues!

ShadowSummer · 25/08/2013 21:08

Currently expecting DC2 and no vomiting or nausea either time - except when I caught the vomiting bug DS brought home from nursery, but I really don't think that counts as morning sickness!

x0gawjus0x · 25/08/2013 21:05

I was 8 weeks when I started feeling sick and have been regularly throwing up since im now 12+5 :( hope it goes soon ive gone off food completely x

Peacenquiet2 · 25/08/2013 18:59

Im 10 +3 with dc3 and have never had nausea/sickness. You might be just as lucky :-)

OnlyThePurpleOnes · 25/08/2013 17:47

Not a sausage first pregnancy. This time round, it kicked in at 12 weeks and is trailing off now at 19 weeks. Yes, I'm a bit random.

Misty9 · 25/08/2013 17:37

Didn't get it in first pg (ds) but kicked in at 6wks on the dot this time :( 24/7 severe nausea and dizziness. Hope you're luckier than me.

PiratesMam · 25/08/2013 17:28

Well the good news is I don't have to go out to work! The bad news is... I'm a SAHM. To a 4yr old and 2yr old. And it's the summer holidays. Urghhhhhh

DH has taken a few days off and is doing everything; I'm going to docs on tues to get some anti-vomming pills. It's just like I was in my 2nd pregnancy which was DD (1st was DS) so DH convinced its another girl.

The only 1 of my 6 pregnancies that I had nausea with was the one that ended in a mmc at 13 weeks.
My other 5 pregnancies I didn't have sickness or nausea.

Writerwannabe83 · 25/08/2013 17:15

Oh dear Pirate, that sounds awful!!!

How do you cope at work??? x

PiratesMam · 25/08/2013 17:14

Nausea started at 6 weeks, daily retching at 8 weeks; am now 12 weeks and full-on vomming. So bored of it!

Congrats though
