Did anyone have severe m/s in one pg and none/less in another?

I am six weeks pregnant and I just dont feel it.

With my two boys I was already throwing up constantly by this stage with them. In fact my m/s kicked in at exactly 5 weeks with both of them and I was diagnosed with hyperemesis with both, so I am very concerned at the lack of ANY m/s at over 6 weeks. Im not deadly tired either, but then Im used to having zero energy in the first trimester due to almost constant vomiting.

I know it is still very early and the m/s could kick in at any moment but Im a bit worried, especially because I know it is very common to have hyperemesis recur in subsequent pgs. Something just doesnt feel right :cry:.

Did any of you have quite severe or even bad m/s with one pg and then none with another and still be ok?

maybe its a sign of a girl my aunt had the worst MS with her girl but none with her boy so could be a sign of a different sex baby

I was so so sick with the twins, it was revolting...Even thinking about food would see me vomiting.

Never had ANY ms at all with Charlotte or this current pregnancy... Each pregnancy is different, as is every baby, so I wouldn't worry about it too much. :hug:

My issue appears to be the reverse... Last pregnancy no m/s at all bar brief moments of queezy now and then. This pregnancy, I'm not even 4 weeks yet and feeling gross and nauseous most of the time. I have heard before that pregnancies can be very different, so hopefully for you, you're just getting to enjoy a healthy pregnancy without vomit! All the best for a happy, spew-free preg and a healthy bubba.

With Jayvan i had a constant hung over feel/felt like i was on the verge of puking all the time. With Jackson, nothing. I felt fantastic.

Jackson is here, Jayvan is not. MS means diddlysquat to the outcome of your pg :)

I didn't ever vomit with DS, but was VERY nauseous for most of the day very early on. I couldn't get out of bed without eating some Clix biscuits to take the edge off & if I let DH drive I'd get terribly carsick.

This time around I feel pretty good! I've barely had any nausea & when I have it passes very quickly. I guess every pregnancy is different - I hope MS stays away for you this time around!

Well I had Hypermesis Grad too with my ds and this time nothing , im hoping its just a different sex too :)

Thanks for reassuring me. I feel much better now!

I have a scan booked for the 4th of Jan, and I think I'll relax so much more after I see the little heart beating away.

Its funny you say that because my boys pgs were carbon copies of each other, yet this one is soooo different already. I dont know if it means a girl for me though, but it would be nice after having two boys. Of course, another little boy would be lovely too.

Hyperemisis with both pregnancies here, hospitalised for rehydration and etc...the only thing diff is that with P I was still puking at 36 weeks and this time I got diagnosed much sooner and so got onto the hardcare anti-nausea meds way earlier.

Apparently this one is another girl...so that is interesting.

My Mum also had hyperemisis with me apparently - I have heard it runs in families, but not sure how true that is.

With DD I had m/s at night from 7 weeks till 22 weeks. With this PG its weird. Before I was even 4 weeks I woke up 3 nights in a row and felt extremely nauseous..now at 4 weeks I feel fine. I hope nothing is wrong either as I have had a miscarriage in the past. My first appt. is Jan. 5th.....Oh the 1st trimester is soo scary. Always wondering if the baby is ok...I cant wait until my first scan..:(

I had severe m/s (nausea and LOTS of vomiting - if I had to count I'd guestimate about 50 times a day lol) with DS1 and the angel between the boys.
With DS2 I only vomited maybe 3-4 times in the whole pregnancy. I had different complications with DS2 than what I did with DS1 and our angel.

another that had severe m/s with the first and barely anything with this pregnancy. Last pregnancy I could barely eat, was in hospital for rehydration several times etc, this one totally different. I worried me at first as well. The only thing that kept me sane during the constant bouts of m/s with DS was that I would say to myself, at least I know he is in there. Enjoy the break, fingers crossed it doenst come later.

With my girls I had ms all the way through, it was really bad the first 8 weeks and again towards the end. With ds I had virtually none.

with DS, I was queasy, could cook/make food but not eat it and vice versa, but most days, nothing.
With this baby, nauseas all the time, no vomiting, but certain foods made me want to hurl - even just thinking of them! If I got too hungry before eating (eg: left it too long to eat after I noticed I was hungry, or too long between meals), I'd be floored. I'd have to lie down coz I couldn't stand or function. Made the evenings really difficult.

With DD I had nausea from weeks 7 to 12 (no vomiting) and had aversions to certain foods throughout the whole pregnancy. This time with the boys I had severe nausea (worse than with DD) from weeks 7 to 9 (still no vomiting) but no food aversions and so far *touch wood* everything is going perfectly - especially for a twin pregnancy.

I had none what so ever with DS but with DD i was puking and so sick all the time :dunno:

I had hyperemesis with all my girls. Just plain old average m/s with DS.

For me its the sex. With my older girls it kicked it about 5 weeks. With DD3 I thought she must've been a boy coz I had no idea I was pregnant til I was about 7 weeks & ms wasn't too bad. It did get bad though & lasted til 20 - 22 weeks, same as with my other girls, just not half the vomitting.

With DS I rarely got to the point of throwing up. Maybe once every 2 - 3 days (my older girls had been around 20 times a day) & I felt 100% better at 12-13 weeks.

My Mum had severe m/s with me throughout most of her pg, then reasonably bad m/s with my sister and barely anything with #3 (who was a surprise pg). Another girl, so definnitely not down to gender in her case!

She was somewhat miffed that for my pg with DD I wasn't even slightly nauseous. :hide: I'll have to get back to you on pg #2, when it happens.

Thankyou so much for your responses. It seems that m/s does vary with each pg and for some with the opposite sex baby.

I still havent got much m/s at all so who knows what it will mean for me. Im just so glad not have HG right now because that was awful!

If you haven't already I would google 'help her' and look on the forums there, there is a wealth of information from others who have experienced HG. I suspect you will find that the time that MS kicks in can vary from pregnancy to pregnancy but I haven't looked that up specifically so I am not sure.
I hope you have a lovely healthy non-HG pregnancy so you can be my inspiration that it can happen!

Thanks for posting that Sagres. I have to admit, reading that site made me so emotional and I cried and cried. It brought back so many memories from my last two pgs when I felt so alone. I remember the nurses laughing at me at hospital saying 'its only m/s', until they tested all my levels and found out it was serious. I wanted to die last time...I had forgotten just how bad it was...which is why Ive been so scared that something is really wrong this time because I just dont see how you can be soooo sick with two pgs an then nothing with the third.

Perhaps Im one of the lucky ones, or not. We will see on the 4th, when I have my scan.

I thought HG was more commonly associated with girl bubs than boys.

I know my gf had it with both girls but not with her ds, and my mw said that it's more likely that way too.

Yeah I have got a lot of comfort and sadness from that site - I only found it after I had my DD. So much of it made me say 'ah yes, that is what I went through' and realise it is OK or normal for a HG pregnancy. I have bookmarked a few pages to send to my DH and family when we get to that point again, we are TTC at the moment. Sorry it made you cry :(
If you need a laugh try and track down a thread called you know when you have HG when..... or something like that, it is an absolute hoot (as much as it can be!) and helps put some humor into an otherwise humorless situation.

Pandora - It is more common in girl pregnancies than boy, which is why I assumed mine were both girls. But clearly it is not always the case. My mum had HG with all her pgs boy and girls so it made no difference in her case.

Sagres - Yes, I'll need to read the humourous side, I bet it will make me laugh.

Sagres - If only I'd seen that 9, 6 & one year ago.
I just linked the info from that site to face book, basically to say eff you to all my friends who thought I was full of crap.
It hurts so much when noone even tries to understand.

Glad you could still get some use from it clover! Sorry you suffered HG all three times. It is hard when everyone thinks you are just being a bit precious about normal old MS when you are infact dealing with HG and actually being pretty good about the hell you are going through....

I know. I had a friend (who annoys me no end) tell me that I just have to get on with it. Problem is I'm not a winger. I'm a suck it up & deal with it kind of person.
The tiredness was impossible. I was lucky with DS & was not going to risk another baby, because I knew I could have another girl, but DD3 suprised us.
I didn't leave the house for 5 months :(

YES YES YES - I hear you there! It was only when I read some of the stuff on that website that I really realised that if I do go through it again - which I expect I will if I get UTD again - I need to take it a bit more seriously and not understate things. My friends and family won't understand why I need help unless I am a bit more realistic about it. They aren't going to take it seriously if I won't.

Sorry to hear you were house bound for so long, it really feels like you have just lost months of your life doesn't it? So horrible.

I felt as though I lost months of my life too. I was so depressed as well but kept on taking my maxalon (and later zofran) hoping I would feel normal again. During the worst of it I could barely shower. With DS2, DH had to hold me in the shower because I was so weak that I could not stand up for 10 or so minutes and I only changed my clothes once every couple of days (yuk, gross!) because I was too ill and it took too much energy. I went down to 50kgs. A week later and I was in hospital for 4/5 days. Looking after DS1 was impossible. My mum looked after him for 6 weeks while DH was at work because I just couldnt. I felt like a whinger too but I didnt realise how bad it was.

Reading that site made me realise that I wasnt whinging at all. It is a real illness. I love the crackered section! I too wanted to scream everytime someone told me to just eat some crackers, or ginger, because ohh yes, zofran doesnt work on the nausea but ginger sure will. Yeah right!!

I just love the term crackered and all that it means, so true! I was crackered so many times, more than I'd care to count.
Ah yes, washing ourselves, a tricky ordeal. I only bathed every second day because it just made me sick. I had a bath because standing for a shower was too much, and even then I did it with a bucket next to the tub. Oh the memories.
I think we need a HG support thread - what do you think? With any luck (?) I will be joining it in the next few months.

Here, I created a thread: https://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums...1661&p=2609095 come and share your crackering stories!

Oh, when pg with DD2 I tried so hard to avoid showering. The water smelt so bad to me. I couldn't drink tap water coz i could smell it, only bottled water.
Bread. The smell of bread was bad. Just the feel of some foods in my mouth made me vomit.

I was put on maxalon with DD2. They gave it to me through the drip & as a pill & all 3 times it send me sky high. It caused massive panic attacks in me (it is common I've since found out).

The guilt when you can't even look after your own kids :( When you decided no more coz you knew you wouldn't be able to take care of your kids, but it happens anyway. The isolation...

Oh I had people suggest ginger, ginger beer, blackmores morning sickness pills. Nothing stayed down long enough to work. Even panadol came straight back up.

I only put on a total of 4kgs in DD2's pregnancy & about 5 in DD3's coz of the amount of weight I lost first.

I had 30 weeks of ms with charlie, even got put in hospitalwith it. But i was just complaining to my Belly budies that i have gotten thru this one quite easy! I am waiting for myself to become very sick........
I hope for your sake you get to go throug this pregnancy without the severe ms!!!! :)

Thankyou Jacci. I really needed to hear stories like yours at the moment. I hope I am lucky too.
