When did morning sickness hit you during your pregnancy? and how did you deal with it?

[CandaceDianne]

I think mine kicked in around 8 weeks or so? I cannot remember exactly. Mine was more food aversions....some foods made me nauseous just to think about. Pizza and pastas were really the only foods I could tolerate. I had one day I did throw up 6 times in a 6 hour period....it was terrible. I do remember dry heaving every morning for a few weeks.

I had nausea without vomiting maybe for 6 weeks? I think it started about week 6 and now is almost gone. I found that eating a lot of small snacks kept it at bay for some reason. But then I started gaining a ton of weight, so I switched to eating fruit all day long. I've been bringing slices of peach and nectarine to work every day. I had random aversions to coffee and pesto. I also have to walk through the fishmarkets in Chinatown in NY every day on my way to work, which was getting pretty awful with my heightened sense of smell and the hot humid weather. I just tried not to breathe for a few blocks. A couple of days I had to walk about 15 minutes out of the way, but it was totally worth it.

I did not have any morning sickness

Mine started at 6 weeks and comes and goes now. My doctor put me on Zofran because I was losing weight rather than gaining and just did not want to eat and when I did eat it did not stay down. I cut the Zofran in half now and take it when I feel that nausea kick in. Thankfully I have gained 10 pounds this pregnancy and I still have 2 1/2 months left. I tried to eat a lot of bland foods in the beginning, rice cereal, applesauce, sprite helped too with the carbonation. You kinda have to experiment and find which foods work best for you. I hope yours is not as bad as mine was.

mine was pretty instant (like the weekend after I got my BFP). I literally ate every hour and it helped. I never threw up although the nausea was so bad sometimes I wanted to just to feel better. I had it from 4 weeks-8 or 9.

I always carried a sandwich baggy full of dry cheerios or goldfish in my purse to snack on.

At about 8 weeks. No food sounded good but I was so hungry! I didn't have much morning sickness just a lot of food aversions but certain things did make me sick. I ate mostly spicy foods from 8-14 weeks it seemed to be the only thing I liked and could keep down. Preggy drops were a life saver for first thing in the morning. I kept them everywhere...in the kitchen, next to the bed, in my purse, in the car, in jacket pockets They really helped me.

I started getting nauseous at about 8 weeks. I found if I ate something about every hour I felt much better. I even kept some juice boxes in the bathroom for when I first woke up in the morning. The only time I ever threw up was when I was brushing my tongue. I had to adapt my oral hygiene routine for a few weeks after that.

7 weeks on the dot....Nausea/Vomiting....I tried everything from ginger, to preggie pops, to wrist bands and nothing really worked. It went away in the 2nd tri though!!!

Mine was about 6-7 weeks I think. All I had was extreme nausea in the beginning. Later on though until now i've had a problem with gagging and that has caused me to almost throw up.

I'd really recommend preggo pops and preggo pop drops since those helped me with nausea.

I never threw up - I got food aversions pretty much right away though. Some nausea once in awhile as well - but it wasn't bad.

[~Caroline~]

I was feeling nauseous a few days before I had my bfp! So a little before four weeks. It wasn't too bad though, I had waves of nausea that came and went, but no vomiting. Then I felt fine from weeks 8-10 and then last week, at 10 and a half weeks, I threw up for the first time.

Today has been the worst day so far. It's 3:30 pm and I'm still in bed, in my pajamas with a bucket close by for when I get sick. I hope I start feeling better soon.

Never got morning sickness! But always said that I wish I did because I would feel a lot more "pregnant" then

I don't remember exactly, but it had kicked in by 7 or 8 weeks or so... Because I remember not being able to eat Christmas dinner after slaving over it all day LOL

I can't rememeber exactly when it hit but i want to say almost immediately. As long as i always had something in my stomach and stayed away from foul-smelling odors i was usually okay
