Wishing for m/s

I know most people will think I am absolutely crazy, but I am jealous of ladies with morning sickness. After my last loss in January, I just want any sign that I am pregnant. I have looked at my positive pregnancy tests at least 100 times just to "make sure I didn't imagine it", so seriously, I would love some up-close and personal time with the toilet to confirm/solidify that I really am pregnant and that it's a healthy pregnancy.
Right now all I have is sore boobs if I push on them or DH touches them (sorry) and mild cramping, which isn't even necessarily a pregnancy sign.
So, anyone else wishing for some nausea??

I just wish I could puke. I dry heeve for the longest time, by the end my ribs and head hurt. 20 minutes straight this morning, wishing I could just throw up.
Yes, this is sort of me too. But there's a thread a little bit down talking about something similar. I think more of us are in the "I don't feel as pregnant as I thought I would" boat.
i was sick twice this morning...before i even ate anything...
i think i threw up my thyroid pill
you want some of mine? i'm more than willing to be done with it...
there are very few things in life i despise more than throwing up
Lack of m/s doesn't mean lack of viability. I didn't have m/s at all during my first pregnancy. Enjoy it!!
This time... ehh. I woke up feeling queasy today so I'm thinking I won't be quite so lucky this time around ;-)
Oh I know, and I didn't have it with DS either, but I've always heard that having it is a sign of a healthy pregnancy... So I think I'd rather deal with throwing up, than constantly worrying about if I am still pregnant/if this pregnancy is going to work out.

I've heard this too but I think its a total old wives tale---with DD I was having the nausea and vomiting. This time around its more like nausea and occasional dry heaving. 3 of my good friends who have had multiple kiddos have never had MS with any and they had super healthy pregnancies and babies. Be happy you aren't dealing with the nasties!

False. There's a crap load of studies that have found higher rates of vomiting (more than just nausea) in women that have had successful pregnancies versus women who experience losses. Google Scholar that sh*t.
(sorry OP, not trying to scare those who don't experience m/s, but saying "no basis in science" kills me)
This. I threw up all 9 mo. With my daughter and this isn't looking much different from where I sit.
You're not "defying science". Plenty of women have successful pregnancies without morning sickness. My mom had zero morning sickness for 3/4 kids.
It was your phrasing of the whole morning sickness "myth" that is not true. Many researchers have found a pattern. That doesn't mean only women who puke will have healthy babies though.
There are many old wives tales out there about pregnancy, this is not one of them. Just don't throw the term "science" around willy-nilly. As a researcher myself, it grinds my gears.
Again, I'm not saying that only healthy pregnancies cause morning sickness. I didn't have it at all with my DS and he's 3 1/2 years old. I know that tons of healthy pregnancies don't give the mother m/s.
I'm just saying that when you DO have it, it's a good sign that your hormones are going crazy as they should be and your baby to be is most likely growing on schedule and that reassurance would be nice to have.

Little boy in my siggy was the result of no real m/s! My mom never had it either, nor did MIL or my grandmothers. I think I just got lucky, genetically. The only thing I had was a week or two where if I didnt eat every 2 hours I got a little nauseous - but you are also still early for the m/s to really kick in.
Sore breasts IS a symptom of pg! And mild uterine cramping is too - your uterus is growing etc.

I felt the same way too at 5 weeks. Other than sore boobs; frequent trips to the bathroom; and feeling tired I was so nervous that things weren't progressing.
Then i hit 7 weeks and the MS kicked in!! It's only been a few days; but this feeling is awful!! Give it a few more weeks and it will kick in. You're lucky if you don't get it at all!
Good Luck!!
I totally understand, I wanted it too. Over the past week or so I've had a few moments where I was super nauseous, but nothing came up. Last night though, about 20 mins after I'd fallen asleep, I woke up to a super nauseous stomach and had to immediately run to the bathroom. Everything came up. DH was so sweet and supportive. The second I finished, he said, "I think you enjoyed that a little too much!" Yes, yes, I did, sweetheart.
I think you're just a little too early at this point. I think they say on average that it starts anywhere from 6-8 weeks.

I started getting super nauseous in the shower around week 6 and starting about 3 or 4 days ago, it would hit me if I let myself get really hungry. Pretty much right at 7 weeks I started dry heaving in the mornings within about 15 minutes of waking up. And yesterday afternoon I actually threw up and felt like absolute crap.
I know how you feel though - I've felt a bit better in my head knowing that I've had some waves of m/s, but I still find myself wondering "is it enough"? I had been freaking out about every little thing, or lack of things happening. I was driving myself nuts, so I'm making a major effort to just try to relax and have faith that all is well.
And, like pp's have said, mild cramping IS a sign of pg. Mine has started to subside a bit, but I had quite a bit of mild cramping from weeks 4-6. Hang in there, I'm sure more symptoms will kick in soon

Definitely this! With my first it was more mild and happened at 8 weeks.

Myth. I didn't have it first time either and had a perfect, healthy pregnancy. People tell you that while you are sick just to make you feel better. So far I have absolutely no symptoms and hope to keep it that way! Last time my heartburn/reflux kicked in 2nd tri and I think it had to be worse than any morning sickness I could have experienced.
Take mine please.
I totally get wanting symptoms for reassurance (I had 3 losses before this pregnancy) but I've lost weight since my BFP because I've been feeling so awful and that worries me, too. Plus, it's practically impossible to function when you feel like the slightest movement will make you throw up. So even if you have m/s doesn't mean you'll be worry-free.
