I had horrible morning sickness when I was pregnant with Noah... and he had major birth defects.:
Studies have shown that women who suffer from morning sickness are less likely to have miscarriages as well as less likely to give birth to a baby with birth defects.
I have only had bouts of nausea with this baby... no actual sickness and this baby, so far, is very healthy.
That statement for me is a load of rubbish... don't let it worry you :)
I have heard that one about having morning sickness means you'll be less likely to miscarry, however, I know plenty of people who have had no morning sickness and had a perfectly healthy baby.
I think its more to do with the individual.. some people just dont get morning sickness while others get it badly.
How stupid.
I have had no M/S and in the first 8 weeks did everything you can think of that is miscarriage causing (because I didn't know I was pg). I helped fit and plumb in a bathroom. I was carting around 20kg bags of soil. I was going non-stop at work with 9 hour days and no lunch. I was drinking a lot of coffee and eating all the "bad" foods - even having a brie sandwich when I found out I was pg. Hi-impact aerobics and even got out some of my old kick-boxing stuff. I had a drunken night with home-brewed wine. Liebling is fine and healthy. So I say poo to stupid studies - unless they tell me how many women it was done on and how many had miscarriages I would ignore it - a study on less than 10'000 women can be ignored, as can a non-significant difference (eg 500 or 5'000 m/s women had a m/c, 504 of 5'000 no-m/s women had a m/c)
I think its a load of baloney myself. I didn't have any m/s at all - and my baby is fine! :) Yes I have had one m/c but who knows what caused that? The heart had developed but it just didn't start working - my HCG levels were fine.
My mother never had any morning sickness and had 3 healthy pregnancies. Both of us get very little PMT or period pain so I just think its how your body responds to the hormones more then anything.
I didnt even know I was preg with maddy til about 15wks... Not a thing... With Indah I was queasy & this bubba I've had a few OFF days (well really bad nausea & exhaustion)..
Maddy i sperfectly healthy & like Ryn almost everything abd for you I had done!!!
If anything she's above average in her school, tiny in height but I am no amazon woman myself!!!
I had no m/s at all with Mya-Rose & she is perfectly healthy. This time round i had slight nausa & everything is fine with bubs:D
Actually, its scary that they are saying that, as when I was preggers with my son, I was puking all day everyday from about 7 weeks til 16 weeks! The baby I lost i felt a bit off for one morning! thats really creepy...
Everyone's different. My sister and sil had no morning sickness at all, just tiredness. I have had a few weeks of physically being sick in the mornings, around 6 - 8 weeks, then feeling top of the world, better then before i was preg for about 2 - 3 weeks, and then from then on, till now, tired, and feeling not hungry, and quesy (until, as i discovered today, junk food actually helps).
Yipeeee I was sick on Saturday night! Although it was a combination of my sickly headache and the liquorish, im still counting it as m/s!
I had a small bite of DH’s liquorish and straight away I felt ill & got a yucky headache. I tried to lie down on the bed, but within 5 minutes I was sick in the toilet, TWICE!
I was quite happy about it haha! :biggrin:
So I am thinking I might not get morning sickness but sickness to some foods??? Does that sound possible?
Yay Renee! Fantastic! And yup, certain foodstuffs can make you throw up - for me it's raw onions and swallowing my pregnancy vitamin tablet without a drink. So no real m/s, just four occasions I can class as m/s if I want to pretend.
