After the initial excitement of your pregnancy wears off, you may start to become concerned about what’s ahead.  Whether this is your first baby or you’ve been pregnant before, you may begin to wonder when morning sickness starts.  The answers will vary from woman to woman and pregnancy to pregnancy.

Some women are more sensitive to the changes in their hormones during pregnancy and so you may or may not experience morning sickness.  Here are a few possible scenarios for when your morning sickness will start:

• You may not have any morning sickness throughout your entire pregnancy. If you’re one of the few lucky women to completely avoid feeling sick, you should feel very fortunate.
• Morning sickness starts at implantation. Other women will start to feel slight nausea even before they find out they are pregnant.  Once implantation occurs and HCG starts to be produced, their body reacts.  You may feel queasy or nauseous at this point and it may or may not get worse.
• Morning sickness starts at 4 – 7 weeks gestation. You may be one of the women who starts to feel sick within the first three weeks of finding out you are pregnant.  This seems to be the most popular time for morning sickness to start and it can start out as a hungry feeling and may turn into outright nausea.  Many women will also start to vomit during this time, so it is important to make sure that if this happens to you, that you may sure to stay hydrated and nourished.
• Morning sickness starts during the second trimester. This is actually quite rare and usually has more to do with the fact that there is less space in the stomach due to the growth of the baby.  Symptoms will typically be related more to acid reflux and heartburn.

If you’re feeling good right now, enjoy it!  You may or may not experience morning sickness and you might as well not stress over something that’s out of your control.  And remember, not having morning sickness is not a sign that anything is wrong with your pregnancy!
