When did you start to get morning sickness?

[Tina]

I think I got mine around 3wks after conception.

I never had morning sickness at all. My daughter made up for it later though with a few months of very intense colic. :(

Kicked in around 6 weeks....peaking at around 15-16 weeks (vomitting around 3-4 times per day), and I still have the pleasure of "its" company @ 28 weeks (no more vomitting, however).

I got it somewhere between 6-8 weeks every time(6-8 weeks LMP). And it lasted until about 15 weeks or so. :barf: sucks!

I am soooo sorry you're feeling queasy at 28 weeks. That is just awful! I hope you're feeling better soon!

4-5 weeks w/ my 1st child.
Didn't have it w/ my 2nd. :p :)

With babies #1 and #2 - no morning sickness at all. With this one, it began pretty quickly but not actual vomiting (except once, don't think this one likes pineapple) just low-level nausea that prevented much appetite for about 10 weeks, from about 4 weeks on... not much fun there. That's one reason why I was so sure it would be a girl, drama from the get-go...
But the nausea passes, and it's all for a great reason.

I have a question about morning sickness.....do you get so totally sick, like if you had the stomach flu & just don't want to get out of bed? or do you just feel kinda 'yucky' & queasy? Does it last all day & do you puke a lot?

It's different for everyone I think.

Sometimes people just feel yucky and puke in the morning and that's it. Some feel queesy all day. Some puke all day..Some just puke once and that's it for the whole nine months.
With me I had headaches, was queesy nausious and puked almost everyday for 3 months. I also felt extremely tired, like I was hit by a truck, I felt so slowed down.

edit: oh and I couldn't smell plastic, chicken or cinnamon buns, they would make me pukey.

With my first child I just felt slightly queasy at times and I didn't actually throw up - probably started 7-8 weeks. I was taking hormone supplements and I think the hormones were the cause of my queasiness.
With this pregnancy I started feeling ill around 6 weeks and I felt like I could puke much of the time. This happened especially in the morning and the evening. I also got bronchitis, which I have NEVER had before, and I was coughing my head off and that would trigger throwing up. I don't think I would have thrown up as much if I didn't have the bronchitis, but my stomach did feel worse than with my daughter. The seasick wrist bands helped a lot. I didn't really feel completely better until I was 13-14 weeks along.

Never with my first three, with my fourth THE WHOLE TIME!!!!!!!

Sort of like having the worst hangover you could imagine 24/7... I always felt decent enough in the morning, then the nausea would kick in around noon, escalating until mid-afternoon when the vomiting started, until I went to bed (usually around 8pm). Same thing, everyday.

How do/did you girls continue to work & do your every day things when you felt like sh*t all the time??

[Tina]

I didn't :lol:
Most of the time I wan't working so I slept all day.

[MicheleSC]

You just do it somehow - eat when/what you can to get through the day or the next hour in some cases and rest as much as you can and hope that your SO helps out! When I had bronchitis I was coughing the most first thing in the morning so all my hacking and then puking I could usually get out of the way before work, then all I had to deal with was being queasy :lol: I have an almost 6 year old who needed my attention and was a real sweetie when I felt bad all the time. I just kept hoping it would be gone one day and not hang around for the duraion of my pregnancy which I know happens to some people. I swear in the first trimester I was thinking "am I really pregnant or just sick???" because all I felt was sick!!

I agree that you just continue even though you feel crappy. I get sick at about 5 weeks and it ends bang on 12 weeks. It is very close to drunk-sick or sea sickness and you have to eat anyway which sometimes feels impossible. Eat anything and often you will feel a little better. I used popsicles, lolly-pops, hard candies, hot chicken noodle soup. The extremes in flavour and temperature seem to help. Ok, working at a hospital was particularly disgusting and stinky but I carried a zip-lock bag with me everywhere in case I had to hurl. Just having the bag often kept me feeling sane, like I could make it.

I got sick with all of mine. With my first I thought I just had jet lag from flying from Florida to Seattle. On the flight home is when the lightbulb went off. It lasted on and off for the first trimester, till the end when I was sick constantly but I had PIH. With my second I escaped it till about 10 weeks and it lasted till about 20 weeks or longer. With my third, I was sick almost from the beginning. I couldn't keep hardly any food down for several weeks and just felt nauseous all the time. I never missed work for it though but there were many times I was basically passed out onthe floor in the bathroom.
