No sickness 5w3days

I had a missed miscarriage in March this year, I had felt something wasn't right and sadly I was right I didn't feel as sick etc as my previous pregnancy's and I just had a feeling (I have 2 children and had a TFMR in 2019 but I had sickness with that baby too) I am 5 weeks 3 days with our rainbow baby and after a week of feeling so happy I am now petrified. I have on and off sore boobs and fatigue but not yet sickness. I think it usually starts about 6 weeks for me but I'm so petrified that I feel nothing I just don't know how I would cope if it happened again. And I'm starting to get a negative feeling but I hope I am wrong. Has anyone else experience less sickness after horrendous sickness with first children? I have a scan booked for 8 weeks.

5w3d is still quite early. And I think I read a stat that said that in any subsequent pregnancy, about a third of woman will have similar sickness to before, a third will have worse, and a third will have better. So really no way to tell how it will go.

For me, I felt so much better with DD2 than I did with DD1.

I second 5+3 beig early still, so try not to think too hard about it OP!
I'm currently pregnant with my second (9+2) and the sickness really kicked in for me 2 weeks ago.
I was horrendously sick with DD and this time (so far) it's been much, much less. No reason to suspect anything is a miss, just a different baby in there so a different mix of hormones.

I have 2 DD's
First one horrendously sick, didn't arrive and had to be induced.
Second one, no sickness at all, arrived very early.
Every pregnancy is different, my two are both very healthy

Thank you all so much. I am just really struggling after the missed miscarriage and I'm praying for the best outcome. Never been so anxious I don't think. I can't believe I'm actually hoping sickness kicks in 😅 xxx

Ive had 3 miscarriages and had horrendous nausea with all 3, i felt vile up until my miscarriages.
Im now on my 4th pregnancy and dodnt have sickness until 7 weeks and had nausea and sickness for a measly 3 days. (Which i should be thankful for)
Im now 36+6 waiting for baby to make an appearence at some stage!

It can differ each pregnancy! You dont always have sickness with every single pregnancy, you could be a lucky one who doesnt get sickness at all, or it could come at a later stage 7+ weeks.

If you have any concerns please speak to a midwife/GP

Thank you for this. I have spoken to the midwife, they aren't concerned at all and said it can be totally normal, but because of my earlier experience I guess I'm just finding it really hard to believe/find hope. Really hoping it works out this time thank you xx

I've had horrendous sickness with a miscarriage and nothing with successful pregnancies. I've also had it the other way around.
To me symptoms mean nothing so I wouldn't let it lead to negative thoughts.

BudgetBuster · 24/10/2025 14:35

I'm the opposite. Have had 4 mc, 1 baby last year. No.sickness whatsoever with any of those pregnancies. Currently 6weeks and very sick 😫 Had a scan today and all is well so every pregnancy is different apparently

There's time for it to kick in yet!! I didn't have any sickness at your stage but by 5 weeks 6 days it had definitely started!! (I know this as it was straight after an early scan) I ended up with pretty severe HG! And I still have some nausea at 20 weeks!! So I really wouldn't worry x

Not exactly what you're asking as I'm on my first pregnancy but I didn't have any sickness in the first trimester and I'm 17 weeks now, everything looking good so far. I definitely had days where I felt worse, followed by days that I felt completely fine and not at all pregnant and on those days it was difficult not to worry. Everything fluctuates so much in the first few weeks and I know it's hard not to get anxious, especially after a loss, but less/no sickness doesn't necessarily mean something is wrong
