Hi everyone

I am 8 weeks pregnant (first pregnancy) and apart from not fancying cheese (very unlike me) and some changes in my appetite I have not had any nausea or sickness at all. I've just felt totally tired out and needed the loo every 5 minutes.

Is it "normal" not to have sickness? Am I just really really lucky and should keep my fingers crossed that "morning" sickness doesn't appear in the next few weeks?

Thank you for any thoughts.

Yup, normal. Some of us are just made that way.

)

I didn't have any sickness at all with my pregnancy (DD now 22 months old) so it can be normal

Argh - there was meant to be slightly more than that . Was saying it is v normal not to have any sickness.

I didnt get morning sickness with either of my pregnancies. I occasionally retched while brushing my teeth but that was all.

Yup-ddn't have any sickness with either of my 2 pregnancies, or any other obvious symptoms except a bit of heartburn and tiredness later on. Keep your fingers crossed!

Yup I had none with my DS who is now 6 months old ..........it was great!!

I had bad sickness with my first but my 2nd 2 nothing ! Totally sickness free I had one day where I felt really really sick but I wasn't then it passed , guess some of us are just lucky!

Lucky you! Not everyone gets sick and I think it's pretty normal.

Im 31 weeks and had no sickness at all. Suffering from heartburn now a bit but no sickness, no nausea, nothing.

Wow thank you for the replies everyone! Glad to find it can be normal! I will keep my fingers crossed that it continues then :-)

Don't jinx yourself crazy lady! I had no morning sickness during my pregnancy - I it sick twice once when I passed a chicken shop about 7 months and the smell made me gag and the 2nd on the table in wagamumas the week before I gave birth, and twice during labour but I don't count those as being pregnant.
Not everyone gets morning sickness if you don't your lucky it sounds horrible!

Hi @rainbowshine. I'm the same as you, no obvious symptoms and first pregnancy. How are you feeling now? Should i expect symptoms later?

This is the first time in my life i wish i felt more sick to make it seem more real. I've only shared the news with my husband....this is a slow 12 weeks

Absolutely no sickness or symptoms, I felt great and had the best skin ever, just lucky I guess. Had other problems with pregnancy though in case anyone thinks I'm a smug old boot!

I had

Pg1- terrible sickness for 9 months

Pg2- terrible nausea for 6 months

Pg3- not a single symptom (was worried at 12 week scan they would laugh at me and say there was no baby )

Pg4- terrible sickness for 16 weeks (now 24 weeks)

Fingers crossed you carry on the way you are

No sickness or negative symptoms of any kind with my 3, also no pain relief needed during very short labours, no stitches and hardly any visible stretch marks, I consider myself very lucky and feel for women who suffer.

I never had any mining sickness with either of my ds's either..
I like to tell people that too ;)

Was for me! Am now 26 weeks and still haven't been sick. Bit of nausea at start of second trimester but only first thing in the morning and only in my kitchen! Compared to many others who suffer it really is barely worth mentioning......enjoy!!!

1st trimester I was just comically tired!

I didn't have any sickess either, just the odd wave of nausea usually in response to a smell...couldn't feed the dogs for the entire pregnancy as the smell of their food made me heave.

I would add that DP fed them...they didn't starve for 9 months!

This is my first day posting on mumsnet after searching for this topic. I've read some people are talking about their HCG levels in relation to having no symptoms. how do you know what your HCG levels are? On another note, also pleased to find the acronym finder on this!

only symptom i ever had was food aversions. i am 24 weeks now and did not have morning sickness once!

I don't like this thread! I'm so !

Be thankful your not sick, I'm on pregnancy no4 and am currently dying with intense day and night nausea and sickness.

No sickness here either (am 10 weeks). Did feel slight nausea between 6-7 weeks but still had good appetite. Only symptoms are tiredness and sore boobs, and a few days of constipation. I had a nine week scan to check all is well and it was! Don't worry, a large proportion of people don't get morning sickness, you just don't hear about it as often. Enjoy xx
