When does pregnancy sickness start?
I'm just a few weeks pregnant and feeling a bit queasy sometimes. I'm wondering when the full-blown pregnancy sickness usually starts for most people.

Usually, it starts around the 6th week of pregnancy, sometimes even earlier. For me, it was full on by week 7. Small, frequent meals and keeping some dry biscuits by the bed helped a lot for that morning queasiness.

It can kick in pretty early, often between weeks 4 and 9. It's not always 'morning' sickness; it can hit you any time of day. Just be prepared with bland snacks and keep hydrated.

Mine started exactly at 6 weeks and 2 days! I thought I just had a stomach bug, but nope, it was pregnancy sickness. It was rough for a few months, but now I'm in my second trimester and it's much better. You'll get through it!

Ah, the 'joys' of pregnancy sickness! It basically starts when your body decides to play a prank on you, usually around the 6th week. Prepare for your stomach to have a mind of its own for a while! Good luck, you'll need it!
