oh blimey is it normal to START feeling sick at 11 weeks?

[madgirl]

with ds1 i didn't feel sick at all, and then with this pregnancy only a couple of nausea incidences, until day before yesterday when i have started feeling really sick every now and then. i know some poor women are sick throughout their pregnancy but it seems abnormal to start now- i may be being completely neurotic but do you think this is a sign that sth is wrong- ie the hormones jumbling up because the baby has stopped developing or something? thanks to anyone that has insight.

It is not a sign that something is wrong with the baby....sure, pregnancy sickness usually starts earlier but there is no fixed pattern. Please try not to worry, there is nothing sinister about late onset pregnancy sickness.

Madgirl - Could it maybe just be a bug or something totally pregnancy unrelated?

Perhaps you are like me and have eaten quite a lot of rubbish over the festive period.

I don't think its a sign that something is wrong though. Quite the opposite.

Hope someone can offer you better advice.

Merry Christmas BTW.

thanks so much for reassurance handlemecarefully and gladTidings (just posted to you on your thread)i have my 12-week scan on friday and i am so so scared they are going to switch that machine on and not see a heartbeat....i had a lot of bleeding earlier on and I cannot relax at all. have in-laws (both completely mad and lushes) tonight so hope you have a merrier new year than me!!!

Dinosaur thanks for that. i once said to dh bossily (every pregnancy's different) and now every time i worry that this time it is so different he spouts it back to me

Oh my god i am at work crying as have just read through latest mesages on the June thread (mine is july but it is v quiet) and poor Leander went for 12-week scan to find out the baby had died at 8 weeks. i feel so horrified by that. i adore mumsnet and all of you fantastic posters, but sometimes i wonder if it makes me worse (if that's at all possible) xx Leander if you are posting /logging on i hope you are doing as ok as we might hope. ((((( ))))))

Madgirl, I wouldn't worry at all about feeling sick, I was feeling very very sick from 6 weeks with dd1 and 4 1/2 weeks with dd2, that is how I found out I was expecting. Unfortunately, I suffered dreadfully both times and with dd1 still had the sickness etc 2 weeks after she was born (which is also normal)

thanks for that dinosaur you have made me laugh now

yes that would be great, as long as you're not sick on me! are you around next week or will you frantic? when is ds3/dd1 due?

yes i'm around - will post on the meet-ups thread in a couple of weeks.
off now to buy crackers (?!) for in-laws new supper! do you think there is anywhere in city i could get them?
excellent, just about to apologise to everyone for highjacking thread, and realised it's my thread! HAPPY NEW YEAR. here's to a fandoubleozo 2004.

christmas. and where is quackers?!

fantastic- i'll head off there, thanks for that and speak soon.
no retching in public now!

All 4 of mine I didn't start feeling sick until 10- 11 weeks, then felt sick right the way through to when they were born. (Sorry, not reassuring at all! )

I started around 8, was sick for about two months and was very worried because I lost almost 3.5 kg in the process, at the end I gained all the weight at the last month and the baby was born with a weight of 4 kg. Hope this makes you feel better but if it doesn't here's a way to do it, a friend of us (or, better said her husband) told us that if you have a toast with jam before going out of bed you won't get as much nausea, we though it couldn't be true but tried anyway and it worked like a charm, I don't know if it was the sugar in the jam or feeling well about DH serving me breakfast on bed, but Idefinitively felt better
