Tyler,
Don't be so anxious for it to start!! Many women go their entire pregnancies without any nausea...once yours kicks in, you'll wish you had been one of those lucky Mommies!! :P
Morning sickness for me didn't kick in until about week 8, and when it did, boy howdy, did it kick my butt!! I wasn't usually sick at all in the morning, and that was GREAT...until about 1 in the afternoon...and I was sick until the minute I pillowed my head. I never threw up, thank God, but I sure felt like it for most of the day.
I'm 13w/2d today and I am starting to feel a little better...though I did have a little teaser weekend where I felt FANTASTIC and could eat anything I wanted!! But, two days reprieve was all I got...so I'm hoping that as week 14 creeps up, I'll start to feel better soon.
The worst part with all the nausea was the sheer exhaustion. It was HORRIBLE! I went to the grocery one day, and every time I go the produce department makes me sick...no one specific smell...just all of them. Anyway, I went to the grocery, of course I got sick half-way through, I took what I had home and was so sick and so tired I could not get out of the car...I couldn't even call my husband to come out to help me...I just prayed he heard the car drive up!! He did and finally wondered what was taking me so long, and he comes out and said, "DAMN BABY! Are you okay??" I guess I was green!! HAHA!! I was so tired I couldn't tell him, I just came in the house and hit the couch!!
It wasn't until week 11 that my doctor told me about Zoforan...and it has saved my life!! It makes you terrible constipated, but the nausea is gone in 15 minutes...so I'll take it.
Like I said, I'm feeling a little better, but not great...still a little queasy in the afternoons, but it's finally starting to ease up a bit.
My best friend never had any nausea with either pregnancy and she keeps laughing at me...but having gone through it, I would not wish it upon anyone! I saw a shirt the other day that said: "Morning Sickness - Making Hangovers Seem Pleasant" Truer words were never spoken.
Hope you continue to stay well and happy!!
