I can't remember exactly when my morning sickness started, but I'd guess around 7-9 weeks along. It was miserable and I literally couldn't eat or drink anything without it coming right back up. I missed a decent amount of classes because I was too tired and pukey. Like others have said though. Its different for everyone... some don't get it at all and other get it but its tolerable.

My other first symptoms I remember having is really bad fatigue. I mean, I really couldn't make one full trip around a grocery store if my life depended on it. I had to chug a bottle of gatorade while doing so, then proceed to vomit it back up.
(TMI? Sorry...) I also had super-smell. Even the best smelling things reeked to me, and I could smell just about anything from a mile away. Especially laundry detergent. I could smell different brands on different people... it made me gag lol.

Breast tenderness... I never got. So, no advice there.

The first doctors visit I had was just a normal check up. You have to pee in a cup, then go back in the room where they do a pap and then proceed to ask you a million questions about you and your family's medical history. You may get an ultrasound, but my first one wasn't until 20 weeks. I can't remember when they first took blood to test, but I know it was well past the first appt.

Good luck and keep us updated!
