need some reassurance re: lack of morning sickness...

I am scared silly that something is not right, because I am not sick.

With DS and the mc, I knew I was pregnant because I woke up feeling nauseous a few days before af was even due.

This time around, I wouldnt have known if af wasnt late (even then, that happens a bit, I just happened to test anyway)

I get the occasional wave of nausea, but nothing like when preg with DS, ended up on Zofran, hospitalised on a drip, hyperemesis, used all my sick days etc, etc, which continued pretty much throughout my pregnancy.

My breasts are getting bigger, firmer, but not really all that sore.

this is just so, so, so different it is doing my head in :(

Even my GP was worried when I said I wasnt sick, she was all ready to prescribe me more zofran, because she says if I had HG with the first one, it would be very rare to not have it in subsequent pregnancies...
Thanks Doc...

I am having a scan tomorrow, fingers are crossed that all is ok in there...

Please tell me your pregnancies were different too, DP is convinced I am having a girl this time around, because its all so different.
Thank you x

I had almost no nausea with my first two pregnancies, and much more with my twins. Maybe it means you are having a girl this time? I hope the scan tomorrow gives you some reassurance xx

I'm still TTC #2 but I was having this conversation with my dear friend yesterday. She is due with #2 in 4 weeks and this pregnancy she had NO symptoms, no sickness at all... Not once! Quite different to the first one. All the best for a reassuring scan tomorrow xx

I've never had morning sickness! And you know how many kids I have LOL

Try not to worry, it won't help you xx

I had no nausea at all with my dd.

Hope all is well x

I had no MS with any of my 3 pregnancys.

Hugs hope all ok xoox

I didn't have MS at all.

Ill be thinking of you tomorrow and eagerly awaiting an update! I'm sure it will be a wonderfully reassuring scan :hug:

I had only one day of nausea with DS, my doc was the same, kept telling me up until the 20 week scan that something was wrong and for sure bubs would not stick.....

Alas he was wrong!

Fingers crossed you are just having a happy and healthy and HG free pregnancy :)

No nausea at all with DD. apart from tiredness in the first few weeks which wore off, I didn't feel different to normal at all until I started to feel 'big'. With DS I was queasy from 5-14 weeks. All day, every day bleeggggh - fortunately not many spews though. I was moody, pimply, had back pain, reflux and gastritis. Completely different pregnancies and two healthy little bundles at the end.

All the best for your scan. xox

I got nothing either time.

My reassurance is a little different.....soooooo, FWIW my HG started a little later this time around. With DD it started at 6 weeks on the dot, this time didnt throw up till 8.5 weeks. Dont forget it can all change in an hour, you might be fine now and then next thing you know you've thrown up 15 times :wall: You may also be that super lucky 5% of HG girls who only get it first time!!!! So many people get no sickness :hug:

Was sick as a dog with the twin pregnancy, but nothing with the two singletons following!

I didn't even get any weirdarse cravings! LOL Try not to worry, not getting ms is jut as normal as getting it. :hug:

I had bad ms from 4 weeks with ds this one kicked in a little later at 6 weeks but also lasted longer so who knows you might be complaining about ms in a couple weeks :) good luck tomorrow

Each pg can be so very different. My firts pg had very little symptoms and was morning sickness free, but with my second pg I have had all day nausea for 11 weeks. Fingers and toes crossed to tomorrow's scan hun, I'm sure there is nothing to worry about.

I had no ms with either of my girls. Maybe we'll see if I ever have a boy if it's different! Although I'd bet on another beautiful DD.

Hope the scan goes well.

I've had no morning sickness either time. With DD my only symptoms were sore BB's and tiredness. This time I had no sore BB's and had times where I wasn't as tired so would stress myself out about something being wrong too.

With DS I never really had MS, the occasional wave of nausea, but nothing really

With DD I constantly felt nausea, especially late in the day

Two very different pregnancies MS wise

I was the same with ds, only knew I was pg because I was late, no other symptoms at all. My ob wrote me a script ready for the all day sickness but I never needed it filled. I didn't really feel pregnant until I felt him move at 16 weeks or so. It was so different to the girls.

I had hyperemesis with my oldest DD. Much like your first pg.
Second time around I had hardly none just waves of MS but a super sensitive gag reflex. Every time I sneezed I spewed.

Try not to worry I am sure all is well.

I had my beautiful DS last year and no morning sickness whatsoever. My sister and mum also never got sick so I think it could be a genetic thing.
Sending you many positive vibes!

Good luck with your scan today! I found that when I am stressing about the pregnancy that my symptoms seem to disappear. I think it's the adrenaline? Or whatever makes you crazy with worry.

Thanks everyone, :)

Off for my scan in about half an hour.... been up since 5 am stressing, oh well, only time will tell...

Hope the scan goes well xx

Good luck for your scan.

My first I had all day and night sickness (waking up to throw up) but with my second I only threw up a couple of times, just felt awful, but nowhere near as bad. It was interesting as my HCG levels were much lower with my second so wondering if that had something to do with it?

With my dd (1st pregnancy).. I was so sick. Always a clear path to bathroom at work, often with an empty rubbish bin in case I didn't make it.. 2nd time with DS, occasional nausea, with rare vomiting..

Thinking of you... How did you go? x

Hope u got good news starrsky.

I had a mm/c in 2011 and when I was preg 2nd time with DS I had ZERO symptoms except for peeing more often. I def understand the worry of absent symptoms. Now I can look back and say how easy a preg it was for me but at the time I would have given anything for an occasional vomit just for reassurance!

Thanks again, I'm very hopeful now (instead of all doom and gloom!)

scan was a bit of a non event, dont currently have the $$ for a private scan, but a friend of mine has access to a portable one where she works (nurse) she sneaked me in for one, but we couldnt see much with it, Gestational sac is measuring right but we could only see a smudge, no HB was visible, no baby was visible...
She wants me to go back next week, hopefully we'll be able to see a bit better, she thinks I have a tilted uterus, making it a bit harder to get a clear view..she printed me off a few pics, I'v ebeen comparing them to google images, (eh, I know...) part of me is thinking she just didnt want to upset me, but she really was trying to get a good view, but every time we'd get close and see the smudge it was as if it would just move away.
who knows...

Im glad your feeling more hopeful but i wish you could have seen more. Surely there would have to be somewhere that would bulk bill a scan??

Do you have any university ones? They bulk bill. Some private places bulk bill dating scans
