Ho na, pregnancy vomiting can start anytime. For me, it was around 6-7 weeks. It feels like your stomach just suddenly decides to rebel, but it's very common. Small, frequent meals really helped me. Don't worry too much, it's part of the journey.
The nausea and vomiting, often called morning sickness, can begin quite early, typically between weeks 6 and 9. Practicing gentle pranayama and focusing on mindful eating of bland foods can sometimes bring a little calm to the system during this time.
My doctor explained that the surge in hormones like hCG and estrogen is primarily responsible, and this often kicks in between 6 to 9 weeks of pregnancy. It's rarely before 4 weeks. She said to focus on small, frequent, bland meals and keep ginger handy.
For me, it started quite sharply around two months into the pregnancy. Everything smelled strong, and food was a battle. It's a very normal part of carrying a child, beta. Just try to eat what you can keep down, and it will pass.
Feeling sick to your stomach so early can definitely trigger anxiety, I know how that feels. It often starts between weeks 4 to 9, so it's a very common early sign. Just remember, it's your body adjusting, and many women go through this.

Pregnancy-related vomiting, or 'morning sickness,' often starts around the 6th week of gestation and can sometimes be earlier, around 4-5 weeks. It's crucial to discuss the severity with your doctor, especially if it leads to dehydration or significant weight loss, as there are safe interventions available.
I was so worried when the vomiting started so early, around 5-6 weeks, because I thought it was just a stomach bug! But my doctor reassured me it's very common for it to start then. It felt really intense, but it usually peaks and then subsides.
