Nausea related to pregnancy, often called morning sickness, usually starts around 4 to 6 weeks after conception, which is typically about 2 weeks after a missed period. Some women report feeling nausea as early as 2 weeks into pregnancy, though this is less common. The nausea tends to peak around 8 to 10 weeks and usually diminishes by the end of the first trimester (12 to 14 weeks), but it can last longer for some women. Here are key points:
- Nausea often begins around 5 to 6 weeks of pregnancy.
- Some women feel nausea as early as 2 to 4 weeks after conception.
- The worst nausea typically occurs around 8 to 9 weeks.
- Most women see symptoms fade by about 16 to 18 weeks.
- Morning sickness can occur any time of day, not just in the morning.
This range reflects the general experience of pregnancy nausea, but individual experiences can vary significantly.
