I was initially very excited to not have morning sickness or nausea until I read several articles saying that women who do not have morning sickness are more likely to miscarry! I was very surprised to read that being that ALL pregnancies are different. I think this is where I stop reading and torturing myself. To this day I have only had the following symptoms: rhinitis of pregnancy, sore breasts/nipples, mild cramping, constipation from time to time, headaches, queasiness after taking prenatals and a cold last week. The only thing that's keeping me positive is my faith and the statistic that says miscarriage drops to 3-5% after the heartbeat is detected, which it was at 8weeks 4days. Trying to stay calm...

I think that the statement that says no m/s=increased chance of m/c is coincidental and misleading. Of course there is a decrease in m/s if the baby has stopped growing and HCG is no longer increasing, therefore no longer causing symptoms. It doesn't mean that no m/s = greater chance of m/c, it just means that miscarriage = a possibility of less or no m/s. Hopefully that was clear.
I had no MS with any of my pregnancies, but I did get queasy when my stomach was empty and have some food aversions, and lots of gas with my DS and with this pregnancy.
The pregnancy that I miscarried was different than the one with DS and this one because I never had any of those symptoms at all, and felt completely and utterly normal. I also had no other symptoms to speak of other than sore breasts and a little bit of acne around my hairline. A few days before I physically miscarried, I actually told a friend that "if I didn't know I was pregnant, then I wouldn't know I was pregnant." I just knew that something wasn't right for me.
This may be completely normal for you, and that's the thing to keep in mind. You are right, every pregnancy in every woman is different. You are still having symptoms, so that is a good sign, and you are just one of the lucky ones that doesn't have m/s as a symptom.

My BFP Chart
I'm on my third and have never had morning sickness.
I've been nervous with this pregnancy because I've had such mild symptoms as well (occasional headaches and cramping, a little emotional, but thats it!)...but dr assured me its normal and even moved my appt up and did an us to show me my LO happily moving around.
Try not to worry and not to read so much!! I think that was my problem, too much info out there!
Good luck, i'm sure everything will be fine!!
I thinks no more sickness is more common than you think. I never had it with my first and my mom never had it with her three. I think some people just don't get it and it has nothing to do with miscarrying.
Not everyone gets morning sickness. Relax. You are no more likely to miscarry than anyone else. I know a woman who puked all the way to her 16 week appointment & she lost her baby at 20 weeks. It's completely random.
There are people who are miserable that miscarry & people that feel nothing that miscarry. Nothing you feel/do/say/think will make you more likely to miscarry unless you have other health conditions. Please don't freak people out with repeating information that is unfounded. I wish you the best, but please relax.

You're FINE! The statistics just mean that if you have no symptoms, it COULD be because the baby has stopped growing which would mean a miscarriage. The nausea itself isn't doing anything, it's just a sign that something's still happening in there. Symptoms aren't neccesary.
It sounds like you have plenty though so just be thankful.
*lurking*
I would check your source.....and then be happy you aren't like I was when PG with LO: head in toilet every night puking my brains out. Just enjoy your pregnancy!
When I miscarried, I had plenty of m/s!
Also, the statistics are very misleading. Most pregnancies that end in miscarriage, end before morning sickness would begin. That really skews the data, imo.
Just adding to the chorus of "I don't have any m/s either!" I think we're lucky!
I'm 11 weeks and I've just been really hungry, and I do get a tiny bit sick feeling when I haven't eaten in a while, but other than that, I'm relatively symptom-free. My heart rate gets waaay up much more quickly than before, though. (I'm a runner, so that's how I noticed.)
I worry right along with you, but just remember that you've seen the heart beat - 95% is pretty good odds! Good luck!
Just an fyi-- just because you haven't had MS yet doesn't mean you won't get it. I didn't have it til 13 weeks. Then I had it every day for a month
