Doctor's answer:
The symptoms of early pregnancy vary from person to person. Some women may not experience any early pregnancy symptoms, or their symptoms may be very mild. For others, symptoms like vomiting can be quite severe. Due to differences in each woman's constitution, the timing of early pregnancy symptoms can also vary. Some women may start experiencing symptoms as early as the fourth or fifth week, while most begin to feel more pronounced symptoms around the sixth week. Symptoms typically reach their peak around the tenth week and generally subside around the third month, which is around the twelfth week.
