Naja, like I talked about, that usually kicks in by week five to six, and then it stays with us, the majority of us at least, until that first trimester. Now, some moms have none at all, and that's wonderful. Other moms are going to have it at different times during the day, off and on. Some are actually going to vomit. Some are not going to vomit. A lot of people are going to be done with the first trimester, and then move on to feeling better better and then other moms are going to have it the entire time. There is a wide range of what can be normal. And so don't freak out if you don't have nausea. It doesn't mean that you're not pregnant or the baby's not really there or anything like that. And don't freak out if you do have nausea. It doesn't mean it's going to get worse or stay forever. And all of the in-between.

Okay, so just know that having nausea or not having nausea is a totally normal part of those first

six weeks.

All right. Today we're going to be tackling all of those, maybe not all of them, but a good amount of those questions or things that we're curious about during the very first six weeks

of pregnancy. Now, a lot of times, this is those very early signs that we're like wondering, is this it? Am I pregnant? Why do I feel this way? We're going to dive into some of that today. Now, I don't know about you, but I remember with my first pregnancy and honestly my second and third and every single time we were trying. But I was Googling things and trying to figure out,

am I pregnant? Could this mean I'm pregnant? You know, like we had sex three days ago. What are the

signs that, you know, things could be happening? And maybe there's implantation and all of this.

And it's seriously, it was like it was my full-time job. That was my curiosity.

And even after I had gotten pregnant before and we were on baby two and three, I was like,

okay, is this it? Is this it? And I always had this thing, and this might sound totally silly,

but I'm sure everybody's got their kind of thing where they're like, I knew I was pregnant when, right?
