I'm new to all this, but I've heard about morning sickness. So, does the vomiting usually start around 6 weeks? And is it only in the mornings, or can it be all day?

Beta, the sickness can start quite early, sometimes around 6 weeks from your last period. It's called morning sickness but can happen any time of day or night. Just eat small meals and rest, it will pass, don't worry too much.

Vomiting or morning sickness often begins around week 6 of pregnancy. While common, if it's severe and you can't keep anything down, it can lead to dehydration and be serious. My wife had hyperemesis gravidarum, so I always recommend seeing a doctor early for any concerns, to rule out complications.

The feeling of nausea and vomiting can begin early, often around the sixth week. It is a response of the body to new life. Gentle breathing exercises and mindful eating can sometimes provide some comfort, but listen to your body always.

Morning sickness, which includes vomiting, typically starts around week 6 of pregnancy. It's a very common symptom due to hormonal changes. It can be mild for some, severe for others, and doesn't always stay in the morning.

With my wife, the vomiting started exactly at 6 weeks, almost like clockwork. It wasn't fun at all! We found that eating small, bland meals and avoiding strong smells helped a little. Just be prepared for it to hit around that mark.

Vomiting during pregnancy often begins around the sixth week. It's a sign that a new life is taking root. Remain calm and positive through this phase. Ensure you are taking care of yourself with good rest and light meals, and your spirit will also support you.

Okay, so week 6 is typically when the morning sickness, including vomiting, starts. I'm always worried about these things. It's crucial to stay hydrated if it happens and not to let yourself get too weak. If it's too much, please consult a doctor without delay.

My friend who's pregnant started throwing up around week 6, she said it was awful! She called it 'all-day sickness' not 'morning sickness' because it was literally non-stop. So yeah, expect it around then, maybe even earlier.
