How early for pregnancy nausea?

I've been feeling quite queasy in the mornings and sometimes throughout the day. My period is due soon, and I'm hoping it's not just a stomach bug. When do women usually start experiencing pregnancy nausea?

I had severe nausea around week 5 and ignored it until I got completely dehydrated and had to be hospitalized. Please don't delay checking with a doctor if you can't keep any food down.

My daughter started getting morning sickness in her 5th week itself. I used to make sure she had small, frequent meals rather than large ones, which kept her stomach settled.

For me, the mild queasiness started around the 6th week, especially when I smelled tea or tadka. Keeping dry biscuits by my bedside to eat before getting up really helped.

In my experience, nausea starts around the second month and usually goes away by the fourth. Don't worry, it's just a phase and your body will adjust soon.

Nausea can hit you hard around week 6. I tried sucking on lemon slices or drinking ginger tea, but make sure to check with your doctor before trying herbal remedies.

Nausea usually hits by week 5 or 6. If you are planning, keep some budget aside for basic blood tests and regular doctor visits from the very beginning.

Snacking on dry toast or a piece of ginger can help with early nausea around week 5. But if you are vomiting constantly and losing weight, please see your doctor immediately.

Most people feel nausea starting around the 6th week of pregnancy. Please take care, rest as much as you can, and eat whatever simple food you can manage.

Nausea is very common from week 5 or 6. Don't stress or try self-medicating; just tell your doctor and they will give you safe tablets for it.

My wife's food cravings totally vanished and turned into bad nausea around the 6th week. The smell of garlic, which she usually loves, suddenly became her worst enemy!

Morning sickness often kicks in by week 6. Gentle stretches and staying hydrated can help, but don't force yourself to do heavy workouts if you are feeling very sick.

I was reading some forums, and it seems most women start feeling nauseous around week 6, though some feel it even earlier. It's crazy how quickly hormones affect the body.
