Morning Sickness as a Sign of Healthy Pregnancy?!

Question

Hi girls!

My EDD is 10/12/17, which puts me at about 8w today, and I have not yet experienced morning sickness or nausea of any kind. Certain things my SO does kinda gross me out but aside from that, I have not felt sick once throughout these first few weeks. My doctor told me many women get morning sickness before 8 weeks but if it hasn't started before the 2-month mark, if I was going to get it, it would start about 8 weeks. There are also some sites and forums that say morning sickness is a sign of a normal/healthy pregnancy.. Should I be worried that I haven't felt sick at all? I'm sure I'm being ridiculous but as an FTM I'm just trying to cover all of my bases. 😁

Answer

My first two pregnancies were boys and I was never sick. These last 2 were girls and I was soooo sick. Every woman and every pregnancy is different. Try not to worry ❤

Answer

I had bad morning sickness with my first and second pregnancies. My third I had none but, it ended up being ectopic. I haven't had as bad morning sickness this pregnancy. I've experienced more nausea than vomiting. I'm 7w3d.

Answer

I'm about 6.5 weeks-ish and haven't had a lick of morning sickness and maybe two ten-second waves of nausea.

Honestly I was wondering the same thing! My boobs hurt and I'm definitely bloated... but no sickness or nausea.

Answer

With my first I felt amazing.  No morning sickness,  very little heartburn,  etc.  I just felt great!  My second I was gagging a ton during the first trimester,  but medications helped.  Third was not as bad but still lost about 6lbs in the first trimester.  This one in all over the place,  but mostly constant nausea and tons of spit  (ewww). I say be thankful you don't feel sick,  I wish I didn't have any nausea.

Answer

With my first baby, I didn't get any nauseous in the first trimester. I eventually did in my last trimester but I think it was due to over eating! Lol! I'm pregnant now with my second and I'm so jelly over the mommies who arent getting sick, bc this one is tearing me up! Lol! Don't fret too much over that. Stay positive.

Answer

I read an article recently in a medical journal (I work in a hospital and have free access to journals) that looked at babies of moms who had it and didn't have morning sickness. They found that down the road, morning sickness was linked to a higher IQ. But keep in mind this was just one study and nothing was "proven" per se.

Answer

I think when they say it's  normal/healthy it's to console those who have it. Typically, being sick/vomiting will indicate an issue (like a virus or food poisoning) unless of course you're pregnant.

It's not mandatory to feel sick. I have had friends that never get so much as moment of sickness and have healthy babies, then there's people like me who are sick enough for 3 people! Don't worry too much 🙂 it's different for everyone.
