Weird to want morning sickness?

Abbie212

Hi there! I have been checking out the boards obsessively for a couple of weeks now and finally decided to post. We are pregnant for the very first time and its so exciting!!! I am only six and a half weeks along at this point so we haven't even told our parents yet. The waiting is sheer torture. So far no m/s but I have definitely had really sore boobs (especially at night and in the morning), slight cramping, some fatigue, and some random cravings like orange juice and pineapples, lol. I literally bought a jug of OJ from the grocery store and couldn't wait to get home to drink it so I sat in the parking lot drinking straight from the jug! Is it crazy and weird that I kind of want to experience some morning sickness just so I know this is real? I feel pretty good overall - it just doesn't quite feel real yet for some reason.

I promise you that you don't want to experience it!  Give yourself a little bit more time and you'll start to "feel" it even more, and you'll be glad you don't have to battle m/s with everything else.

I'm not experiencing any m/s right now either.  I've been told to enjoy it because it'll come soon.

It's so common to "want morning sickness" and I completely understand.  It may not go over well with the ladies who are suffering with m/s right now, but I know you just feel like it would reassure you

Not everyone gets it (I didn't and haven't yet) and hopefully you stay feeling great.

You can have mine?

Ugh. I miss cooking and food and not laying on the sofa like a lump. I couldn't believe it when I actually thought (about what to eat for lunch yesterday), "What's the worst that could happen? I'll throw it up? Meh."

Something like 80% of pregnancies come with nausea/vomiting, so I'm sure yours will be along shortly. :-)

Ha, thanks for the advice and understanding.  Its just one of those symptoms you hear so much about so it feels weird not to be experiencing it yet myself.  I will just enjoy this time now while it lasts... I'm sure it will be coming!

I completely understand! I am only six weeks and have had no m/s, only two days where I got a little dizzy and nauseous which I controlled by eating some yogurt. I have actually been feeling super energized and excited. Slight cramping and sore breasts but that's pretty much it. I keep the pregnancy test on a table near my bedroom door so I see it a lot and it makes it a little more real. No one knows except for DH and the receptionist at the OB who made my appointment for next week! I know that the m/s and fatigue will come so I am trying to just take advantage of feeling so good. I agree that it make me feel a little more secure, especially since this is my first pregnancy. Congrats and know you're not alone!

This post would've made me stabby yesterday as I was in the throes of one of the worst days yet.  I didn't have any with DD.  You may be one of the lucky ones but chances are it just hasn't reared its ugly head yet.

This!  HAVE FUN NOW.. you will feel pregnant soon .  By 2nd into 3rd tri.. you will be wondering where your body went!

I know what you mean though.  My boobs have been sore but it has kind of settled now.  I have some back aches, but no m/s and am just tired, but not sleeping at night.  I worry though because I did have m/s last time and then m/c.  My dr appt isn't for another week or so.

I dont want m/s but i can understand how you feel... its almost like its not really real unless you experience every symptom that everyone else complains about.

Like you, I am also 6.5 weeks, and so far I have no fatigue, and no m/s  (the 2 biggies) My symptoms are slight and they come and go. I do have: sore, big boobs, increased sense of smell, slight cramping every so often, and random discharge.. lol. But thats it. I spoke to my mom (who never had m/s) and another of my friends who never had it, while its one of the most common symptoms, some people are lucky enough to never get it - so Im just counting my blessing for now.

But i totally understand why you would "want" it - however... as the saying goes, be careful what you wish for!

I completely understand how you're feeling. I'm on my third pregnancy and have never gone through morning sickness. I understand your feelings because I've wanted it just for "reassurance." I'm sure I would change my mind once it decided to come.

With my first pregnancy, I was sick a week before I even tested.  And continued to be sick, multiple times a day, until 26 weeks.  With this one, a week after I tested I was still feeling fine.  And I had a hard time believing I was really pregnant. It had me very nervous.  But then at 6 weeks, it hit, hard.  And now I'm back to feeling miserable all day long, almost crying at the thought that this is going to go on for another 20 weeks.  I understand your feeling, but seriously, if you're one of the lucky ones,  you're not missing out!

I know what you mean. I would even take sore boobs right now. I have no symptoms except food aversion. I don't want to eat anything because it all tastes bland. Other than that, I have nothing.

I totally understand what you mean.  Mine's been around since about 6 weeks, and isn't as terrible as some ladies' I'm sure, but it's there every day for most of the day.  Anyway, I wouldn't wish it away because it is reassuring to me.

I was you last week. I totally get what you're feeling. Now I wish I could take it back. Today wasn't bad but ALL day yesterday was awful! I never had m/s with my first baby so this is new to me. If and when you do get it, here's a tip: sip water and nibble on foods throughout the day. Not letting yourself get hungry or thirsty help keep the nausea at bay. Good luck!!
