How early can pregnancy sickness start?

Lately, I've been feeling unusually tired and a bit queasy. My friend mentioned it might be early pregnancy sickness, but I thought that starts later. How early can this kind of sickness begin?

It can start around the 5th week of pregnancy. Please take plenty of rest and try not to worry too much, this phase will pass.

Mine started early in week 5 but got so severe I couldn't keep water down. If your sickness starts early and is very intense, please see your doctor instead of assuming it is just normal.

Look, for most people, it kicks in around week 6. Don't stress looking at everyone else's timeline, just eat simple home food and let your body adjust.

My wife had extreme sickness starting at week 4 and we ignored it thinking it was common. It turned out to be severe dehydration, so please consult your doctor if it feels excessive.

Haan, week 5 se bilkul ho sakta hai shuru. Mere ghar pe bhi sabko kafi jaldi feel hone laga tha, so tension mat lo bilkul normal hai.

I started feeling super nauseous at just 4 weeks and panicked thinking it was too early. My gynecologist reassured me it is totally normal for hormones to kick in early, so don't worry.

Usually, 5th-6th week onwards it starts, ho na. Mujhe toh tea ki smell se hi problem hone lagi thi bahut jaldi.
