Doesn't nausea = morning sickness?

You don't have to actually puke to have morning sickness, right?

I don't know technically speaking, but I'm not counting it as morning sickness until I'm actually bent over the toilet.

I count it with or without puking. I've felt like sh!t everyday, all day for the last three weeks but haven't been bent over the toilet.

Technically... YES! morning sickness is essentially nausea. This is why they treat you for nausea. For some people it escalates to vomiting for some people they never puke.

I think nausea during pregnancy is morning sickness, vomiting or not.

I am the type of person who will dry heave, and not vomit, if I have the flu. The nausea, dry heaving, and over all yuck feeling I have I am calling morning sickness. Regardless, if I actually vomit.

I am the same way, except that I don't even really dry heave. I made it through 14 years of drinking, hangovers, and illness without tossing my cookies. I am hoping to make it through the next 7 months.

But then again, I can usually eat fairly normally even when I feel crappy (flu excepted), and that is certainly not the case right now. This pregnancy stuff is no joke! lol

Call it what you want.. it's not going to make a lick of difference at the end of the day.

I know, I just keep seeing people say they have nausea but no morning sickness. I thought they were one and the same.

I was a nauseated zombie before DH made me talk to my doctor. I said it couldn't be morning sickness since I wasn't throwing up. My doctor told me she considered what I was feeling morning sickness and gave me Promethazine to allow me to function. You bet I will be calling for it once the morning sickness hits this time.

I'm counting this overall yuck feeling as morning sickness. So did my DR this AM. It's gotten progressively worse over the last 2 weeks. I'm not sure if I'm thankful or not that I haven't had to stick my head in the toilet yet.

With DS I felt nauseous almost all day, every day from 6 weeks until the second trimester, but I never threw up. I still called it morning sickness. So far it's not an all-day thing yet this time, but it's slowly getting worse.

This!

bellablue2 · August 2011

I would say so!

llizzyb · August 2011

Yeah, I don't have to be throwing up for it to totally impact my day. The rolling waves of nausea that keep me lying horizontal in bed or on the couch are pretty incapacitating!

WildcatPrincess · August 2011

Yes, I'm tired of all the "I don't have m/s but I feel like crap" posts. I haven't thrown up, but I'm barely able to function thanks to the nausea and the gagging and the not wanting to eat anything ever. I'll throat punch anyone who wants to tell me I don't have m/s.

shannm · August 2011

Absolutely. I haven't had to vomit but I have been awfully sick for weeks now. No one can tell me that isn't morning sickness.

MOST DEFINITELY!

Last time I was a puking machine. I was nauseous until 10 weeks or so, but hadn't thrown up. Then, because of an amateur phlebotomist, I threw up at my first appointment blood draw (I have low blood pressure and the dummy didn't take my advice when I said to recline me FIRST, so she ended up having to clean up vomit from her floor and shoes.) And I just kept throwing up after that. So I think I "Broke the seal" and so I'm doing everything I can to not actually puke this time around! LOL. DH said, "Why don't you just go throw up, you'll feel better" and I reminded him politely that it doesn't work that way. I'd still be nauseous, I'd just also be tired and dehydrated with a sore throat. So, yeah, we're avoiding vomit this time as long as possible.
