Could not having morning sickness be hereditary?
I'm a little over 6 weeks now and even though I felt nauseous the week before I took the test (that was the main reason that made me take it. 
), I've had nothing now for weeks. My mother had 3 children and she never once has morning sickness, which made me wonder if that can be hereditary?

Re: Could not having morning sickness be hereditary?
I don't know, but my mom told me she never had MS and I've been feeling crappy since week 6 started. I haven't actually thrown up yet (knock on wood) but I would definitely classify my constant queasy feeling as morning sickness.
I'm hoping for both of our sakes that it is and mine goes away soon!
I'm not sure, I suppose it could be hereditary. I'm over 11 weeks pregnant and haven't felt even queasy (except when I ate too much greasy food during a weekend out of town). Neither my mom nor my grandma (maternal) had morning sickness with any of their pregnancies. The only time my mom threw up while pregnant was when she had food poisoning. At this point, I just count myself lucky

My mom didn't have any morning sickness with her 4 pregnancies (all girls), and I have been horribly sick with my first (a boy) and this time (don't know the gender yet). My two sisters that have been pregnant (a mix of boys and girls), have had barely any morning sickness.
My mom said she read somewhere that morning sickness has to do with how your body reacts to DNA from the father. I'm not sure if that is total bs, though, my mom tends to make things up sometimes, lol.

My ob told me that family history has nothing to do with it. I was sick with dd and even sicker with this one.
My mom never even had food aversions with me or my sister. My Grandma also was never sick.
My mom never had it with any of us three kids, I never had it with DS and so far not with this pregnancy, my sister never had it with her two kids either.
