Considering myself unlucky to not have morning sickness?

[Saxfie2021]

8 weeks pregnant… I’ve had a scan and my baby is measuring perfectly with a strong heartbeat.

I had my son in 2021 and had morning sickness from 7-10ish weeks.

This time nothing. My last pregnancy ended in loss at 6 weeks… so I am a little more nervous this time round.

I know some may consider it lucky to not have morning sickness but I’m worried that I don’t, I know everyone’s different but apart from feeling very sleepy and having constantly perky nipples? I wouldn’t really know.

Wishing it on myself might be silly but they say it’s a sign of a healthy pregnancy… I just want everything to be okay.

I didn't get it with any of my pregnancies. Some losses but the same with the healthy ones. Some people just don't, but I totally get how you feel as I felt the same x

I can half understand your feelings. I’ve had losses but I wouldn’t wish it on anyone. Some people do have healthy pregnancies without morning sickness. Hopefully you have sore boobs or something else you can focus on?

As someone who nearly died from HG and lost a baby due to it, I always find these comments triggering. But I’m aware this is personal issue.

I think it’s perfectly normal in your situation to be anxious but every pregnancy is different. I wonder if it will kick in but a bit later with this one?

And healthy at 8 weeks makes a miscarriage significantly lower risk. I think something like 80% chance everything good from what I remember

I get what you mean but being sick all the time is awful and if you’re at work/social events it can be really hard especially if you haven’t told anyone yet.

Pregnancies can be completely different so I would focus on the scan you’ve had that had a healthy heartbeat and you’re feeling very tired which is a pregnancy symptom. Hope it all goes well.

Ermm I get you're anxious but the sickness is partly why I don't think I can have another baby ever again. I can't imagine being pregnant and feeling OK....if the scan at 8 weeks is OK, your chances are very high that it will be OK. Every week the risk of miscarriage diminishes massively

I didn't get any morning sickness in my first pregnancy with my DS but suffered with it in my second with DD.

I have 2 kids and never had morning sickness.

I've had 3 babies and never got a single day of morning sickness.

Let me assure you that constant sickness from 4 weeks pregnant, day and night, is also anxiety inducing.

I sort of understand where you are coming from.
I had 24/7 morning sickness with all three dc, from before I could even test (just thought I was ill the first two times) until about an hour after birth.

But there was that comfort of thinking the baby was effecting me so much be okay. And also had the advantage that I didn't put on any weight, I suppose.

It was pretty rubbish though, especially when people said things along the lines of "You're 20/30/35 weeks and still being sick?"

I understand. Sometimes you want the reassurance of symptoms, even the unpleasant ones.

Congratulations on your pregnancy ❤️

Sadly, morning sickness does not always equal a healthy pregnancy.

My worse morning sickness was during a pregnancy which I already knew was failing. Conversely, I wasn’t sick at all during my healthy twin pregnancy.

I completely understand how you feel, especially knowing there is an association between morning sickness and lower risk of miscarriage - but that is an association and it doesn't apply in individual cases. I hope your pregnancy continues strong and well. Feeling very tired is also a good sign.

I have two DC and was intensely nauseous 24/7 with both - all the way up to 21 weeks. Wouldn't wish it on anyone.

I know where you're coming from. Lost our first pregnancy, no sickness. Hyperemisis on second, twins, lost one. Three subsequent successful pregnancies with no sickness. All babies were girls. My third pregnancy I was anxious because of no sickness but was reassured with scans and checkups. Hope all goes well with your pregnancy

If you only had ot for three weeks last time that was quite mild so I'm not surprised you don't have any this time. My Mum had three kids and didn't suffer any sickness.

I had two healthy pregnancies with zero sickness and one that was a loss where I felt absolutely awful.

I never had any sickness with any of my pregnancies, whether miscarriage (I had one) or successful.

I don't think it's a good guide really. Some women do have it and others don't.

2 healthy pregnancies. Never had any sickness or nausea. Absolutely no symptoms in the first trimester. Try not to worry OP.

I know what you mean... it's horrid but reassuring in a way. But as others have said, it's nothing to worry about

I understand. It took a while to get pregnant with my much longed for third baby and as a result I was very anxious something would go wrong. Hadn’t felt even a teeny bit sick for the first 7-8 weeks so forked out for an early scan to check on the baby. On the way to the scan (where I found everything was fine so far) I started to feel nauseous. Threw up every day, several times a day until about 16 weeks. Worth every single unpleasant chunk of vomit. Even when I puked into a bin in front of a queue of customers at work. But yeah, grim as fuck.

good luck with your pregnancy and sorry about your loss previously. FWIW I don’t remember getting a single bout of even mild nausea with my middle child and not only was that pregnancy my easiest so was the labour. I’m sure you and your baby will be fine.
