How many months pregnant do you have to be to have moring sickness?

Answer 1

I have been pregnant 2 times, and for me personally, the sickness started around 1 1/2 months to 2 months and lasted until sometime in the 5th month.

My situation was a little different than most, as I had hyperemisis gravidarum (spelling?), which means that I stayed nauseated ALL the time and vomited non-stop. It was so bad that I was hospitalized three times in each pregnancy BEFORE giving birth.

It started out as regular ol' morning sickness (nausea) that usually got better after a couple slices of cheese toast, but then one day the vomiting started. I wasn't concerned until it started lasting all day and night and progressivley got worse, and I started becoming very dehydrated and started losing alot of weight.

I'm sure your experience will not be this awful, but if your sickness does start to last longer or you start becoming dehydrated, PLEASE call your doctor immediately!! If they tell you it is just regular morning sickness, but you fell unsure about this diagnosis, seek a second opinion. I would have died if my husband had not been insistant that the doctors see me the first time around. (they told me when I got to the hospital that it was a miracle I was no because the dehydration was so bad- I was hallucinating and had lost 32 pounds in less that 4 weeks)
