I had some mild nausea early on, I still have some food aversion and some indigestion, but nothing like I imagined it would be. I keep thinking it could still kick in, as I'm just at 7 weeks? My mom said she never really had MS with me - could I get lucky? Or did it kick in later for you?
I had m/s from about week 6.5-11. Mine was never the pukey, all out vomit-fest you see on TV. I just felt hung over for weeks on end and was majorly averse to food in general, aside from carbs and salt. It was a low-grade, "I feel kind of crappy" for weeks on end.
I had nausea two mornings in a row before I tested and got my positive. I've had a couple good days - but overall, I've had non-stop nausea. It is bad in the AM, tapers off, then slowly gets worse in the afternoon and is bad again in the evening.
Eating constantly through the day, helps.
Today I started taking Zofran.
Mine is mostly nausea, but I am throwing up sometimse as well.
Someone on our month board had it kick in around week 8.

I would get in in the evening. I only puked a few times. Carbs helped which might explain why I gained an unfortunate amount in late first tri/early second tri. Later I would sometimes get sick from heartburn.

Mine started at 7 weeks and has lasted to, uh, today, at almost 28 weeks. It's not been awful, but if I get over tired or suddenly hungry, I puke. And I am no a quiet puker. It usually happens in the evening, at the end of a long day.

I'm about 7 weeks and for the last week or so, I've had mild nausea. Nothing pukey but my stomach has felt a bit upset. I try to munch on oyster crackers to curb the queasiness. I generally feel worse if I'm hungry, but haven't had any real food aversions yet. My SIL said her MS really kicked in at around 8 weeks.
I never really had puking but I had mild nausea off & on the first tri with all of mine. Eating throughout the day (snacking) especially on carbs seems to keep it to a minimum. I did puke when pg with DD3 before my BFP, it was my first clue to take a HPT. And I got nauseated nightly before I got a BFP with this one too. So it seems to start immediately but is not severe ever. Now heartburn is another story....I get it & get it HORRIBLY but not until later.
I never really had it. I had very mild nausea a couple times, and I had food aversions (just didn't really want meat, and really, really didn't want fish). But for the most part, I felt totally fine throughout both of my pregnancies.

Mine started about 6 weeks and lasted until about 14 weeks. It was an all day nausea, but I would never throw up. It was the worst. I just kept thinking if I could throw up I'd feel better. I also had terrible food aversions that never went away.

I never actually threw up, but I was nauseous & had food aversions. I don't remember the exact timing but I'd say it was 6-16weeks. Eating really helped my nausea, carbs seemed to be especially helpful. (saltines, Panera blueberry muffins & potatoes...)
started about 6.5 weeks until the day I gave birth.
I'm so sorry - I always think of you when someone complains about MS. In my head it's all, "But you don't have it like Cosmos did!" I hope if you guys go for #2 that it's a much easier time!

Ditto for me with my first . I was puking daily until DS was out! Zofran and scopolamine helped, but there were weeks when I only kept ensure and dry cereal down.
With DD though, it was much more manageable. I vomited probably less than 10 times. I kept it under control with regularly scheduled zofran. DH said he could tell from the start that it was a girl since I was actually able to eat
Slight nausea on and off a few times in week 5, but the "I feel disgusting and can't stomach anything" feeling started at about 6.5 weeks. It was worst in weeks 6, 7, and 8 but I still have major aversions to a lot of food and am just eating whatever I can get down.
I've only thrown up once (and I think it was from a migraine from not eating), but it's just a general feeling of nausea/queasiness all day long.

With my current pregnancy, I had pretty bad/consistent morning sickness from mid 1st tri until the beginning of 2nd tri. With my DS, I had almost none, minus a couple of random days of feeling yucky.

This gives me hope (except I had a girl!). I am hoping the next time around, knowing how to control it with zofran (ie- not "waiting it out" to see if I feel better) will make it more manageable.
Weeks 7 to somewhere between 17 and 19. Threw up daily 7 to 13, then down to a few times a week. Could barely eat. Always was sick at night. Woke up relatively ok, would get worse throughout the day and then I would puke at night. Sometimes the force of the puke would be so much I would pee my pants. It was bad.
Luckily since week 20ish I have been really good. I have almost forgotten that horror. ALMOST.
That part sticks with you after the birth. Good times
I think my ms was the worst between 7&10 weeks when I threw up almost every morning. Happily, I felt perfectly fine after losing my first breakfast and would then eat again.
I had a handful of days were I felt awful all day but they were few and far between. By 16 weeks I felt fine
I had a lot of food aversions, particularly to fragrant meats like bacon. I hardly ate any meat throughout my pregnancy
