When I became pregnant, the only problem I had was a few times constipation but I tried to eat fruit and drink juices. Also, when I was in labor I was expecting a huge attack of IBS while that wasn't so. The hospital I delivered at still insisted on giving an edema when in labor, I told the nurse I had IBS and she only gave me a small dose. As far as morning sickness I did have that in the 3-4 month, anytime of the day. However, I handled it knowing that it was a good thing that your hormones were in check. That is what I was told! Well I hope I helped out, but you have to realize that every person is different. All I can say is that I felt my best when I was pregnant. Good Luck!
