I'm feeling very nauseous lately, especially in the mornings, and wondering if it could be an early sign of pregnancy. How early do women typically start experiencing nausea or morning sickness in pregnancy?
Mine started around week 6 and suddenly my favorite biryani smelled like garbage, it was heartbreaking! I couldn't eat anything except raw mangoes and imli for a month. Thankfully it gets better, so hang in there till you can eat properly again!
Usually, morning sickness starts around the 6th week, peaking around week 9 or 10. It happens because of the rapid surge in pregnancy hormones in your system. Try keeping some dry glucose biscuits on your bedside table to eat before you get out of bed, it really helps settle the stomach.
Oh, that dreadful feeling! For me, it started even before my missed period around week 4, and I felt so miserable. Now that my baby is in my arms, I look back and realize how hard my body worked to create this miracle. It's tough, but this phase will pass too, promise.
I totally understand how difficult and exhausting this phase can be, sweetie. For me, the morning sickness started around week 5 itself, making me feel so weak and down. Just take it one day at a time, baby is growing well and you are doing amazing.
Normally nausea kicks in around the 6th or 7th week as the hCG hormones rise quickly. However, every pregnancy is biologically unique, and some women don't feel it at all. If it becomes too severe and you can't keep liquids down, it's best to consult your doctor for safe anti-nausea meds.
