Morning Sickness
When does morning sickness start?
Maybe never. Sorry, chances are good you will.
Nausea and vomiting are common symptoms in early pregnancy for many women. Depending on the study, 50 to 90% of pregnant women suffer from morning sickness.
Typically, morning sickness starts before the 6th week of pregnancy and peaks between 8 and 12 weeks.
However, if morning sickness begins after your 9th weeks of pregnancy, call your doctor. He or she may need to make sure there are no other causes of nausea or vomiting.
Not Just in the Morning
Although it’s called “morning sickness”, that queasiness, nausea or vomiting can happen anytime during the day. Some studies found slight increases in nausea from 6 a.m. until 9 a.m., but for the most part, if you suffer morning sickness, it can be at any part of the day.
So, When Does Morning Sickness End?
It may feel like it lasts forever, but rest assured it does not.
Morning sickness is generally known as a first trimester condition. You will probably see it taper off somewhere between 12 and 16 weeks. In fact, about 60% of women will be over their nausea by the 12th week and over than 90% are feeling relief by week 16.
Even though it generally is a first trimester condition, a few unfortunate women will continue to have nausea throughout the pregnancy or find it returning in the final weeks of the pregnancy.
