Just got my positive test, around 5 weeks i think. So far no vomiting at all and honestly im kind of waiting for it to start lol. From which week does the morning sickness usually kick in?
Because of my PCOS history, my hormones were already all over the place, and my vomiting started around week 7. I had to be very careful with my diet and followed my gynac's advice strictly. Every pregnancy is different, so don't compare yourself to others.
My vomiting started exactly at week 5 and honestly, it was quite intense. I just delivered last month and can tell you that keeping dry toast by my bedside really saved me in the mornings. It gets much better after week 12, I promise.
Vomiting usually starts around the 6th week of pregnancy because of the sudden surge in hormones. Don't worry, it is a very normal sign of a growing baby. But if you are vomiting too heavily and can't even keep water down, please call your doctor immediately.
I totally get how scary and exhausting it feels when you are constantly waiting for the nausea to start or dealing with it. For me, it began around week 6 and it made my anxiety go through the roof. Your feelings are completely valid, just take it one day at a time.
The nausea and vomiting started around week 6 for me and continued on and off. After my C-section, recovery was a bit of a journey too, so taking care of your strength from the beginning is key. Sip on small amounts of water and eat light meals.
For me, the morning sickness kicked in right around week 6 and lasted till the end of the first trimester. Looking back at my toddler now, those days seem so far away! It is tough, but it passes, just hang in there.
Usually, most moms start feeling nauseous or vomiting between week 6 and week 9. It is very common, but if it becomes heavy vomiting where you feel dizzy, please check with your gynac. Try eating small, frequent meals instead of big ones.
My nausea started in week 6, and managing meetings with sudden runs to the washroom was so difficult. My practical tip is to keep ginger sweets in your bag and sip lemon water. If it gets too severe and you can't work, don't hesitate to ask your doc for pregnancy-safe morning sickness pills.
