Pregnancy Nausea: When Does It Start & What To Do

Question
How soon can nausea start after conception? I am hoping to be pregnant and I am watching all the symptoms and was hoping the nausea I have been feeling to be a good sign...

Thanks!

Answer
Hello Marie Jo. The typical signs that you are looking for do not show up until you are 6-8 weeks along- SO as long as you are trying to conceive, you must consider yourself pregnant at ALL times as far as NO alcohol, NO smoking or breathing around smoke and take a DAILY folic acid supplement of 1-2mg. The potential damage that alcohol and no folic acid can do will be done LONG before you ever know that you are pregnant. Also, be sure you are not taking ANY over the counter drugs and that you carefully review prescription meds with your pharmacist. All the best- Cheri.
