Patient's question:
These past few days, I've been experiencing dizziness and nausea every morning. Yesterday morning, I took a pregnancy test and found out I'm pregnant. I went to the hospital for a check-up and had an ultrasound done. The doctor didn't go into detail about the results but just told me to come back for a follow-up next week. Here, I'm looking for a doctor to review the specific ultrasound results. I hope a doctor can help me as soon as possible. Thank you.Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, women may experience mild nausea after 40 days of pregnancy. However, early pregnancy symptoms vary from person to person. Some may start experiencing nausea symptoms around a month into pregnancy, while others may have no nausea throughout their entire pregnancy. After becoming pregnant, some people may feel sleepy, some may be sensitive to cold, and some may feel uncomfortable when they smell oil. These symptoms usually appear after a 6-week delay in menstruation and generally last until the third month of pregnancy. Every individual's situation is different, which is related to personal hormones. Some people have longer early pregnancy symptoms, lasting until 16-18 weeks.
