The sicker the better?

Question

I keep having women tell me that the sicker I am during the 1st trimester of pregnancy, the healthier by baby will be. I haven't felt nauseous once so far in my 7 and a half weeks along.

Someone tell me this isn't always true...

Answer

This is my 4th and I've never had morning sickness. I have 3 very healthy children

Answer

There are actually medical studies that correlate morning sickness to lower miscarriage risks, but it's not always the case, and plenty of women have no morning sickness and carry perfectly healthy babies! You are still early! I started getting nauseous after 7 weeks, and now I regret wishing I had morning sickness when I felt great! Too bad we can't just enjoy feeling good when we do, but instead we worry about every little thing! I am so ready to be in trimester 2, where everyone promises we will feel wonderful and glow our pregnant glow and have our cute baby bump!

Answer

I'll be 14 weeks tmrw. Never once nauseous. Baby girl is perfect and healthy

Answer

Amazing. Thank you everyone. It seems so odd to think I should be wishing myself to be sick! I shall just be happy that I am healthy :)

Answer

Course it's not. It's just something people say to make sicker women feel better. People kept saying it to me, I was like that's so dumb, cause if I didn't feel anything you'd be like "oh you're having a breezy lovely pregnancy!" It's silly.

Answer

Morning sickness is awful 😧

Answer

I'm 9 weeks 4 days and haven't experienced morning sickness. I had my first appointment last week and everything was fine. I've only been told how lucky I am for not being sick.

Answer

It's a correlation not causation.

Answer

No sickness here either! 8 weeks along! I have several friends who just had easy pregnancies so I'm hoping that means us girls are just some of the lucky ones!

Answer

I am glad you posted this too because I have been worrying about the same thing! I am 8.5 weeks and no morning sickness yet either!
