Is it true that if you have nausea you have less chance of a miscarriage?

[JustAMuggle]

This is my first pregnancy, am 6+3 and since 5+6 I've had spotting (quite light except from one occasion when it was quite thick almost like brown blood). I've also had cramps and quite bad lower back pain since implantation.
I went to the dr on Monday as I was terrified, she checked my cervix which was high and closed but seemed more concerned about ectopic. Due a second blood test tomorrow to compare hcg levels and then have to wait until Tuesday for results.
BUT I read on good old google that if you have nausea that there's a higher chance of not miscarrying. My nausea is very bad so I'm hoping this is a good sign?
Any advice would be much appreciated

I can't say for certain but I had bad morning sickness in my viable pregnancies and had no pregnancy symptoms with pregnancys that went on to miscarry. Your Hcg levels will be your best guide - hope you can get the results asap

Btw a stupid but gave me a guide test is to take a digital test which says how far along you are - it measures the hcg in your wee. With my miscarriages it never got beyond 2-3 weeks even though I was 7 (5 in test weeks). But different people have different hormone levels so it's not exactly accurate!

But something you could do before Tuesday

Hcg is the fucker that gives you the nausea. So yes it means that you have a hcg level that for you personally is high enough to give you nausea. No it is not a guarantee for anything. Statiscally a lot of early miscarriages happens to woman that felt fine. But millions still happen to women that have all the symptoms. Unfortunately statistics don't always help. The rate of the doubling of HCG is a much better indicator of how the growth is going. Ideally they will check that now and in a few days or a week.

I hope that all will go well.

Brown blood is old blood and probably still from the implantation. Nothing to worry about. Call the doctor if it is bright red and/ or with clots. Evwn then it might not be a miscarriage but that does need to be checked though.

Thanks @Applesandpears56 I've actually ordered a couple of the digital tests but was too sick to go and collect them this evening haha!  I could ask DH verrrry nicely though.
@Blackcatonthesofa I had one blood test yesterday and then my other one is tomorrow so fingers crossed the levels have increased enough!

Oh and btw at 6 weeks you could book a private scan to see if there is a baby with a heart beat. They are about £100 I think? But it's been a few years - might give you some info or reassurance. There's loads of baby bond clinics across the country that do them.

Sorry but no that's not true...different pregnancies affect people differently. Sadly no one can predict the outcome of a pregnancy being successful based on symptoms or lack of.
I've had 2 miscarriages (1 late and 1 very early) with both of them I had severe sickness. I'm currently 28wks pregnant with a very healthy little boy and have had no sickness whatsoever, in fact I've had virtually no symptoms at all.
Good luck x

Doubt it. Nausea is caused by hormones. I had a missed miscarriage, discovered at 12 weeks at my scan but I had still been feeling terrible for weeks and weeks even though it only measured five weeks old.

@Applesandpears56 I think we are going to pay for a scan but going to wait until I get the blood test results first

I had not one jot of nausea with any of mine and all born healthy babies.

It is true and there are reputable studies showing this.

www.nih.gov/news-events/news-releases/nih-study-links-morning-sickness-lower-risk-pregnancy-loss

"The researchers found that these women were 50 to 75 percent less likely to experience a pregnancy loss, compared to those who had not experienced nausea alone or nausea accompanied by vomiting."

Of course, this is true on a population level, so taking a whole group of women. It, of course, does not mean that no nausea means you will have a miscarriage or that nausea means that you won't have a miscarriage, but it is less likely.

Out of my 6 pregnancies the only one I had nausea with ended in a miscarriage and a D&C at 13 weeks.

I had no sickness and 2 successful pregnancies. Hoping for successful outcome for you OP

It is absolutely true on average. For an individual you can still miscarry while being nauseous unfortunately. Is everyone saying it's not true just thinking that's now how it worked for me so can't be right?

I have never had nausea with any of my pregnancies, 3 successful and 3 miscarriages.

Unfortunately i know people whove continued to feel sick despite losing their babies. This theory cant be relied on.

Do you have a link to show this?

I have never, ever heard of there being a correlation between nausea and likelihood of miscarriage.

I assume this would be widely known if it were the case.

*or lack of nausea, and likelihood of miscarriage.

I've had 4 miscarriages, 2 mmcs, have felt nauseous through all of them unfortunately.

I've had an awful but healthy pregnancy due to constant sickness

And 2 horrendous one late MMC all as bad in the constant nausea sickness levels.

Also myth is it's worse with girls.

Mine was as bad with both

I've also continued with the sickness after my late MMC

Awful

I unfortunately had an ectopic pregnancy. I went to the EPU because my pregnancy symptoms suddenly stopped. I had other symptoms but didn't realise their significance at the time. If you're having a plum coloured bleed with occasional clots, that could be a sign, a sharp pain in your shoulder is another & diarrhoea.

It sounds like you could be having an implantation bleed to be honest, I think you'll be ok.

The waiting, sometimes weeks, to find out what's happening is awful, but there's nothing you can do but wait. I found distraction, eg trashy TV, helpful.

I've never ever heard of this in my life.
