What does morning sickness feel like?

Hi, I’m currently 6 weeks 6 days pregnant and just unsure if what I’m experiencing is morning sickness.

for majority of the day I feel fine, but I’ll get a bit like weak feeling, and then hiccupy, and feel like I should eat something but not really in the mood for anything. It’s not that the idea of food makes me feel sick it’s just I’m not bothered, if that makes sense.

I’ve vomited twice, once at 6 weeks and once last night, but both were after taking my supplements just before bed instead of my normal time of the day. So I’ve put that down to a funny stomach from those.

i don’t feel nauseous I don’t think, bar just before I was sick those two times.

does this sound normal?

I had Hg with all three of mine. It was my first symptom and lasted until each birth. I was sick all day every day and was hospitalised many times.
I never bought any maternity clothes and was several stone lighter post birth than at my booking in appointments. One consultant described babies as parasites because despite all of the sickness they were all born over 8lbs.
Weirdly, I never felt sick. I could be in the middle of a conversation, throw up and carry on speaking.

The most memorable occasion was a huge family meal that was fortunately in a private restaurant dining room. There were long tables with bench seating and I was in the middle.
One of my DN thought it would be funny to fart (even when not pregnant I was very sensitive and this would've made me retch). I couldn't get out and projectile vomited the milk I'd been drinking, the only thing that settled my stomach.
It was in my sister's hair, over a friend, drinks, the table, everywhere. I was mortified. My family knew how ill I'd been. The nephew was left traumatised because he had no idea what it would do. My exBIL was the type to find this funny and this had rubbed off on my nine year old DN.
Everyone cleaned up and went on to enjoy their meals. This happened shortly after sitting down before any food was served.
I was so embarrassed, but everyone was lovely, knowing I couldn't help it and anyone who doubted how sick I'd been were no longer under any illusion.
