Question about morning sickness?

Question

1. When does it start? Is 4 weeks? 5 weeks? too early?

2. Will I kind of have a warning feeling or will it be a quick impulse? The reason why I ask is that I work in a small office and don't want to make a scene.

3. Will yaking so hard cause a miscarriage?

Answer 1

1. It would probably not start any earlier than your missed period - which is around 4 weeks give or take depending on your cycle. It more commonly starts around week 6 or so. However, not every woman gets morning sickness - contrary to popular belief. Some women get lucky and have very little morning sickness or even none at all. In my first pregnancy I had not ounce of morning sickness - not even an upset tummy. This time however, I was sick from week 5 through 24, and it came back a little around week 35 as well.

It is also important to note that if you do get it - it isn't necessarily just a morning thing. The morning is a common time, because often having an empty stomach makes it worse. But it can strike at any time of day. It might leave you feeling icky, it might make you dry heave, or it might make you full on throw up. Depends on how severe you get it, and every body is different.

2. You may have a warning (feeling icky for awhile before needing to throw up). It could possibly happen very quickly as well though. There is no way to know for sure. Again, everybody is different.

3. No, it will not cause a miscarriage. Miscarriages mostly happen due to chromosomal abnormalities or improper implantation of the egg into the uterine lining...stuff like that. Throwing up will not cause a miscarriage.

Oh and if you do get morning sickness, try to look forward to the 2nd trimester (around 13 weeks) because most women start to feel better around that time. Obviously that isn't ALWAYS the case (as for my second pregnancy) but generally that is how it works out.

Also if you were to get very severe morning sickness to the point where you are puking constantly and unable to eat anything, losing too much weight too fast, etc...there is a safe medication that your doctor could prescribe you to help with this.

Hopefully you will be a lucky one and not have to deal with it at all though!

Answer 2

Mine started at 8 weeks

I had just nausea that would come without warning ..... you just feel crappy .... as far as vomiting you will get a warning because you will feel nauseous...

I don't think yaking will cause a miscarriage  

Answer 3

1. it starts around 4-5 weeks, as a matter of fact the reason I got my pregnancy test is bc of the constant morning sickness!

2.. Everyone is different but you will know when something is coming up, its the same signs as when your sick you will start to salivate excessively and your body will let you know when you need to run to the potty.

3. NO puking hard wont cause a miscarriage, I used to be worried about that too.  Even pooping, you feel like you don't wanna push too hard or your baby will just fly out or something.  These are common, irrational fears of first time pregnant women.  

My experience - I got sick all day long through my whole pregnancy, dont want to scare you, but for some women that's the case.  You will begin to get used to it.  Try having some plain saltine crackers on the nightstand and eat a few before you get out of bed.  

Congrats and good luck!

Answer 4

1.  Everyone is different.  Mine started at 5 weeks and ended at 11 weeks.  Some people start at 6 weeks and end up having it throughout their pregnancy.  Sorry, but there is no way to tell.

2.  I had a warning feeling every time I was going to be sick.  I luckily had time to make it to the bathroom before vomiting all over people.  My sister, however, would projectile vomit in the middle of a shopping mall without warning.  Again, everybody is different.

3.  No, it will not cause a miscarriage.  If you have morning sickness, it means that your baby is thriving due to the amount of hormones coursing through your body.  Your baby is safe, even if you are feeling like h**l.  It may, however, make you pee yourself a little (so always carry extra underwear with you!)

Answer 5

I'm sorry but there is no right way to answer this question other than to say that every woman and every pregnancy is different.  Some get it bad, some don't get it at all and the rest of us fall somewhere in the middle.

Good luck.

Answer 6

1) Around half to two thirds of all pregnant women will experience morning sickness to some degree, particularly in the first trimester. The symptoms include nausea and vomiting. For most women, morning sickness begins around the fourth week of pregnancy and resolves by the 12th week. However, one in five women endure morning sickness into their second semester, and an unfortunate few experience nausea and vomiting for the entire duration of their pregnancy. Morning sickness is typically at its worst early in the day, hence its name, but it can strike at any point during the day or night. Despite research, the actual cause remains a mystery, but theories include hormonal changes and fluctuations in blood pressure. In most cases, morning sickness doesn’t harm the woman or the unborn child. However, severe morning sickness that includes weight loss and dehydration needs prompt medical attention.

2) Symptoms of morning sickness can include:

Nausea

Loss of appetite

Vomiting

Psychological effects, such as depression and anxiety.

Suggestions for coping with morning sickness include:

Don’t take drugs of any kind, unless your doctor knows you are pregnant and has prescribed specific medications.

Eat a few dry crackers before getting out of bed in the morning.

Don’t try to eat anything that you suspect will make you nauseous.

Eat small meals regularly, since an empty stomach tends to trigger nausea.

Limit or eliminate fatty and spicy foods.

Choose high carbohydrate and high protein foods.

Avoid cooking or preparing foods whenever possible.

Drink plenty of fluids, preferably water.

Many studies have shown that ginger can ease the symptoms.

Vitamin B6 supplements can be useful, but doses above 200mg per day can actually be harmful.

Wear loose clothes that don’t constrict the abdomen.

3) No it will not.

Answer 8

1. i started getting sick at like 7 or 8 weeks.

2. depends on everones body. mines usually a warning but there has been a few times when i didnt know it was coming.

3. no throwing up hard will not cause a miscarriage. it might cause some mild cramping though.

Answer 9

the joy began for me at 7 weeks and ended at 13 weeks, i was only sick twice but it was the worst time ever! you will feel sick, i got tummy cramping before and then just felt sick all day long and all night. no being sick should not cause miscarriage, but remember you might not get sick at all....feeling sick is appalling as i didnt get the relief from actually throwing up...work shoul not mind...its normal for you. You can try to have anti nausea sweets with you like preggie pops or preggie lollys which are available online...i got mine from amazon.
