2nd Pregnancy No sickness (YET) but awful 9 month long sickness in 1st....Normal????

[JessHelicopter]

Hi, I am only 6 weeks +1 so i am probably completely jumping the gun here, but i was definitely feeling sick by now in my last pregnancy. It was horrific and it lasted til the day i gave birth (!!!!) but now I am really paranoid because i haven't started to feel pukey yet! I think there might be something wrong. Even tho i definitely have symptoms (sore boobs, early bloating and cramping, dehydrated, funny taste/smells)...not to mention positive tests and no period! But I am not as tired as i was last time either. I'll probably wake up tomorrow and feel sick as a dog and then regret i've posted anything but for now I am looking for other people's experience with different pregnancies....i know they can all be different but what is typical?! IS there a typical????

Hey don't worry I had hyperemesis in my first pregnancy from 5 weeks! This time around I had some sickness which didn't start until about 8 weeks but didn't really get to anything like it did with my dd. I was so worried as with my dd I was in and out of hospital and was sick right through the whole thing but this has been a totally different pregnancy. This time im 28 weeks and I am having a boy and I'm convienced that's y I wasn't so sick!! Urs may kick in soon or u maybe lucky this time :-) either way I think every pregnancys different so enjoy it while u can :-) x

Yes, well the other way around anyway, I was fine with 1st pregnancy and this one is hell .
Boy first time, this ones a girl, think its the different hormones or something?

Knew it! Spoke too soon! Feeling sick and VERY VERY tired today! Anticipating that it will get worse before it gets better! Just FYI re the boy / girl thing.... during my first pregnancy, where i was SO sick everyone told me i'd be having a girl. It was a boy!!!! So am no longer convinced by that theory!

First time I had more or less 9 months of awful sickness. I was hospitalised a couple of times. It was unrelenting misery.

When I got to 7 weeks with no sickness second time round I thought I was in the clear. Unfortunately by 7 weeks and 3 days I was vomiting round the clock.

I thought I was facing in to months of it again but like magic the sickness stopped at 13 weeks and I was fine until it returned in the final couple of weeks.

Both girls in my case.

Oh really?! That's reassuring! Thank you! :D

I felt like you 6 weeks into my current pregnancy. I couldn't believe the sickness hasn't hit yet given my previous history. If you are like me you only have a few days to wait (sorry!).

Ugh feel gross. Can't believe i ever thought i'd get away with it!!! :( It's SO cruel that we have to go thru this???? Who's idea was it?!!!! haha!

Hi, I have just see this thread.

I am 5 weeks tomorrow with my second pregnancy. I was so sick the first time round it was unreal. The day ds was born I weighed 4 stone less than the day I found out I was pregnant (I was overweight though).

I think I started being sick at around 7 weeks with ds (he's 11 this year so it was so long ago I can't remember for sure) and it soon descended into round the clock nausea and vomiting. I was still being sick as I was being wheeled into theatre to have him.

No one did anything though, drs and midwives fobbed me off, it was always,
'it will stop at 12/15/20/25 weeks' and I was even accused of being bulimic by one.

I was dehydrated, being sick between 10 and 20 times per day, vomiting all the water I took in and retching bile when there was nothing left.

I am so scared it will happen again this time, BUT I am worried because at the moment I feel fine!

Fingers crossed you don't have it so bad this time. I do. I can't keep anything down. and i am so depressed, i can't stop crying knowing that it will be like this for the next 8 months. I don't know how i am going to get thru it.
