Is this morning sickness already?

Hi I am only 4 weeks 5 days but I’ve already started to retch and gag. Is this the start of morning sickness? I didn’t have any morning sickness with my first so it’s all new to me!

Yes and you can have it all the way through like I did.

I had morning sickness much earlier with my second - before I even had a missed period.

Pregnancy sickness with one of my pregnancies started at 4 weeks, by 6 weeks I was signed off sick for a month. I had hyperemesis in 3 of my pregnancies and it started between weeks 4 and 6 usually

Oh no OP I hope this isn’t going to turn into hyperemisis for you. Mine started a day before my period was due

Haha hate to say it but I had zero morning sickness with my first and was like this with my second. Found out at 6 weeks I was expecting twins

Yes it is! Although I never threw up, I was wretching/gagging/dry heaving for 18 weeks!

hopefully your symptoms ease off quickly x

I don’t think it’s hg since I haven’t been sick. Just gagging randomly!

I came on here to say exactly the same thing…. I had horrible sickness in early pregnancy, I remember laughing at the GP when she said it could be a sign of twins. “Nothing like that would happen to me” I laughed. A couple of weeks later I nearly had a heart attack at my scan when I was told I was expecting two!
