What exactly is morning sickness?

Question

My b***s usually only act up about a week b4 my period is due and they've been feeling weird for the last 3 weeks now. I'm not sure if this other thing I'm feeling is morning sickness or not. I don't have the gagging but I just feel like if I could throw up I would feel a whole lot better. Of course it's not just in the morning. I just don't know if this actually classifies as morning sickness or not.

Answer 1

Some poeple don't "throw up" with morning sickness.  It can also just be nausea.  Or feeling sick to your stomach, or as if you could throw up.

I personally, didn't have bad morning sickness at all.  I threw up three times in my whole pregnancy.  I felt fine most of the time, nausea in my first trimester, at random times during the day.  Which was what is considered my "morning sickness"...

Some of us get lucky.

Answer 2

That sounds like the morning sickness I experienced when I was pregnant.  I felt slightly nauseous, but I never actually vomited.

Answer 3

It varied slightly with each pregnancy. With my first I threw up none stop for 4 months, day and night but worst in the morning from the second I woke up till noon. Then with my second I was sick day and night for 7 months. Right now I'm 21 weeks and I was nauseas(just gagging) from the start and it was day and night. It finally went away a few weeks ago.

Try eating something with ginger, salt crackers, or chewing mint gum.

Answer 4

Morning sickness can be anytime of the day with or without vomiting. You could be very nauseated all the time thinking you are about to vomit and that would be considered morning sickness.
