Morning Sickness

Morning sickness symptoms

Each woman is different where morning sickness is concerned. If it starts, it will be in the first trimester. In fact you can look for it to start as early as a week, but this is uncommon. Typically it starts after your first month of pregnancy, maybe about the same time you notice you missed your period.

How does morning sickness feel?

It can be a mild and uncomfortable queasiness, like you ate something that didn’t agree or wasn’t well cooked.

You may have nausea, the feeling like you are going to throw up and even gagging.

Sometimes it is just outright vomiting. You know what that feels like.

Any of these feelings can last off and on all day, or just might happen for part of the day. It may happen more or less the same times of day or it may be anytime without rhyme or reason. None of these feeling are pleasant, however some women have feel better after actually vomiting instead of holding that nausea feeling.

Morning Sickness and Hypoglycemia

Sometimes nausea brought on my low-blood sugar feels like morning sickness and may go away off an on in the same way. If you are having other symptoms, you are more likely pregnant. If eating almost always makes you feel better and you have no pregnancy symptoms, you may be hypoglycemic.

However, the only way you know for sure is taking a pregnancy test.

Will I have morning sickness?

Possibly, not strictly speaking. There are some things that may make you more likely.

• If you are carrying multiples.
• If you were sick during the first pregnancy or your mother was sick with her pregnancies.
• If you have a history of nausea or vomiting with birth control pills.
• If you are susceptible to motion sickness.
