Morning sickness

Hi, so I’m now week 6 into my pregnancy and I’m not experiencing any sickness at all. What week do people start having this symptom? I really need to stop reading things online because it says that people who don’t experience morning sickness have a higher chance of miscarriage, which is obviously playing on my mind 😔

I remember feeling the same at around this week. I think it kicked in about week 7 and then I wish I had never wanted it. Lasted until 13 weeks.
I'm not going to say just hope you stay lucky and don't have morning sickness as I know how badly you just want to feel like everything is going ok in your pregnancy. Just try and take it day by day.

@star1459 Thanks for your reply. Yeah I can imagine the sickness isn’t a nice feeling and I don’t know why I’d want to feel it but I suppose it is just because it’s such a common symptom and if I’m not having it just causes panic in me. But yeah you’re right, need to take it day by day! Thanks again.

Enjoy whilst it lasts! I had the same fears, and then at 7 weeks I started feel queasy. From 8 weeks onwards, it was hell!

I know what you mean about wanting to be sick, because it gives you that reassurance, but you could also be someone who doesn't get it badly.

I never had morning sickness with my 7yo DS and I'm currently 35 weeks and haven't with this one either! I count myself lucky!!
