How many weeks does morning sickness start in pregnant women?

For many expectant mothers, they may not pay much attention to some possible symptoms when they just become pregnant, which leads to some adverse effects on their daily diet and life. Morning sickness is a common symptom, and the duration may vary depending on the physical condition of each person. We need to understand the normal patterns of morning sickness and master it better so that we can control the patterns of morning sickness and not let it affect our normal life.

When does morning sickness begin? It depends on individual circumstances. Generally speaking, about 3/4 of women will begin to experience early pregnancy reactions such as nausea and vomiting in the 6th week of pregnancy, while some pregnant women will not experience morning sickness throughout the entire pregnancy.

Morning sickness is a type of early pregnancy reaction. Early pregnancy reactions usually appear around 42 days after amenorrhea, and there will be symptoms such as nausea, vomiting and discomfort, but the timing and symptoms of early pregnancy reactions vary from person to person. Most pregnant women will experience nausea and vomiting sooner or later during the 6th week of pregnancy, without any reason. Some pregnant women even experience morning sickness during the 4th week. Some pregnant women do not experience morning sickness throughout their pregnancy.

Morning sickness - although not all expectant mothers will experience it, it is a problem that causes headaches for many pregnant women. At present, no one knows exactly what causes morning sickness, but there are several conjectures:

1. Hormones are to blame

Most experts believe that the increase in hormones in pregnant women stimulates the brain and causes vomiting.

2. It is a protective behavior

Morning sickness and vomiting in pregnant women is an instinct of the biological world to protect the fetus in the womb. This instinct allows pregnant women to detect various germs or harmful substances that may harm the baby early on to ensure that these things do not enter the pregnant woman's body, such as food containing microorganisms or pathogens (such as meat), to avoid potential dangers to the fetus.

3. Convey a message

Morning sickness and vomiting in pregnant women mainly occur in the first few months of pregnancy. In the middle and late stages of pregnancy, the fetus will attract the mother's attention through fetal movement; however, in the early stages of pregnancy, the fetus is in its early development stage and has no ability to resist external forces or express discomfort. Therefore, the morning sickness reaction is actually the fetus sending the message of its existence to the mother, reminding the mother to protect herself. Certain factors can also increase the chances of morning sickness, such as being overweight or carrying multiples.

Morning sickness is also conveying a message to us. These are the reactions that pregnant women experience. Morning sickness can occur during the 6th week of pregnancy. We expectant mothers need to protect ourselves and avoid eating some irritating foods. If consumed for a long time, the protective effect of morning sickness will be more obvious. To avoid danger to the fetus, we need to take some protective measures.
