Oh, I remember that phase! Nausea typically starts around 6 weeks. I found that ginger ale, small sips of lime water, and always keeping a few dry biscuits near the bed were life-savers. Don't worry, it's very common.

I totally freaked out when nausea started for me at 5.5 weeks! I thought something was wrong because it was so sudden. But everyone reassured me it's normal to start around 6 weeks, or even slightly before. So if it hits, don't panic, it's just your hormones working overtime!

From a practical standpoint, nausea generally starts around week 6. My advice is to pre-plan your meals and snacks – keep bland options like toast or fruits handy. If it impacts your work, don't hesitate to discuss adjustments with HR or your manager, and definitely consult your doctor for management strategies.

In our time, we knew that the 'giddiness' or nausea would start around the second month. It's the body making space for the child. Sometimes a little bit of fennel seeds or a spoonful of honey can help, but if it is too much, do talk to the doctor, dear.
