    I think MS is like having gastro for weeks and weeks and weeks on end. Sorry. It is pretty awful, and can really take a toll.

    But not everyone has that experience.

    Hi,

    crossing my fingers and lots of :sticky vibes: to you.

    I can't remember when I got MS with DS, but I was lucky, got nausous, yucky smells like dirty dischwasher, and hubby's farts made me want to hurl. This was usually first thing and not overly drastic. Wirst time was at work one morning, before I had announced my pg, no one saw & I quickly cleaned up, phew.

    I'm at 3 1/2 weeks this time, and nothing yet, but the actuall symptoms I get, are congestion -which wrecks havoc with my asthma, so i'm coughin up a storm at the moment, My boobs don't ache, it feels more like they are expanding on the inside, it's the same feeling I used to get when the milk flowed, but I didn't notice that the first time around.

    All the best for your test, I've got my fingers crossed.

    My MS started at 5 weeks.

    For me, I gagged and dry retched ALL THE FREAKING TIME. Seriously, in those early days, even talking could set me off. It was no fun at all.

    One big reason why MS happens is because of the HGC (human growth hormone) your body is producing, which keeps your little bean sticky and growy. But the HGC can make you sick as well. Your HGC levels increase rapidly in early pregnancy and start to plateau out after about 12-13 weeks, hence why a lot of people get better at this time.

    the HGC factor is the reason why they say if you are sick during your pregnancy, at least its a good sign you are producing lots of happy growth hormones and your bubs is growing well! (not that no sickness means an unhealthy baby or anything...just a lucky mama who's body can handle the HGC well!)

    Immediately

    I found out I was pregnant with DS at ten days and I started feeling sick at day 7, which is what prompted me to get a test...

    Fingers crossed for you!!!
