How early in pregnancy does nausea begin?

I've been feeling a bit off my food and slightly nauseous for the past few days. My period is still a week away, but I'm curious. When does nausea usually begin if one is pregnant?

Nausea typically begins around the 6th week as your body undergoes beautiful hormonal changes. Keep your mind calm, stay positive, and take care of your health.

Mine started around week 5, and with my thyroid issues, keeping down food and thyroid medication was hard. Please get regular blood tests and follow up closely with your doctor.

Haan, almost everyone feels it by the 6th week, na? The smell of normal kitchen spices can trigger it, so try to keep the kitchen airy.

It usually starts around week 5 or 6, so don't stress too much if you are suddenly hating the smell of your morning chai. It's just a phase!

Early nausea around week 6 can make it tough to stick to a proper diabetic meal schedule. Be careful with what you eat and consult your doctor for safe sugar management.
