Ive been quite ill this morning and I was wondering about morning sickness?

Question

How long do you have to be pregnant before it starts?

Answer 1

some woman can start morning sickness from about a week before a missed period, and it doesn't have to be mornings it can be any time through out the day or night, mine didn't start till i was around 7 weeks  

Answer 2

It's different for every woman. Some women never get it, others get it early in pregnancy, and still others not until later. Some women only have it for a few weeks, others to the end of the first trimester, some into the second trimester and yet others right through the entire pregnancy. It also hits and affects women at varying degrees. It can even be different from pregnancy to pregnancy for the same woman.

Personally, with my daughter, the nausea started at 6 weeks, vomitting at 7 weeks, vomitting stopped at 10 weeks and nausea was gone at 14 weeks.

This time, with my son, the nausea and vomitting started at 4 weeks, the vomitting stopped at 6 weeks, but the nausea continued until 21 weeks.

Answer 3

everyone is different, my morning sickness started at 8 weeks.

Answer 4

I started feeling sick about wk 5 or 6, and was constantly sleeping from end of week 5.

I'm now wk 16 and stopped feeling sick a couple of weeks ago, and the sleeping has also dissipated, although I do still have to have early nights or lie-ins sometimes.

Don't forget the every pregnancy is different, so what happens for other people doesn't mean that you'll be the same!

Answer 5

Well every pregnancy is different.  But most of the time you dont have morning sickness until about a month along.  With my son it didnt start until i was three months along, and kept going until i was 7.  So its hard to tell.  

but i think the very first symptom of pregnancy i experienced with both of my babies besides missed period was sleepiness, and headache.  and frequent urination.  

Answer 6

It's different in every woman and every pregnancy, but most women don't feel it as the very first symptom, it usually starts for most women around weeks 6-8.

The first symptom is often tender, swollen b*****s and a missed period.

If you think you're pregnant, just take a test, you can't know based on symptoms alone. Good luck.

Answer 7

Morning sickness begins around week 6 of pregnancy, peak during week 8 or 9 and wane after week 13. More instant remedies and info at http://usefulinfomorningsickness.blogspo...

Answer 8

For me it started at 7 weeks. Your pregnancy hormone levels have to reach a certain level before it's cause morning sickness and typically this doesn't happen much before 6 weeks (although it's not unheard of).  

Answer 9

its different for everyone. i found out i was pregnant at 5 weeks, and i was being sick before i found out so it must of started about 3 weeks for me. im 18 weeks now and i stopped my mornin sickness around 15 weeks.

good luck
