Did anyone NOT experience morning sickness in their 1st trimester?

bayareagirl2011 · April 2014

Hi ladies,

I'll be 8 weeks tomorrow...and no morning sickness yet. I don't even have sore boobs (only had it right after the transfer). Only pregnancy symptoms: fatigue (extreme at times), some cramping/fullness in uterus and abdomen, and food aversion in the evenings. I pretty much lose my appetite after 5-6pm (was worse last week and week before, it's not AS bad this week). I can't help but be a little worried. Some women may say I'm "lucky" but a part of me would rather have it for the "reassurance" that everything is OK. My mom did not experience it with all 3 of her kids, and she mentioned to me that she doesn't recall my aunts having it either. Can this be hereditary?

Just wondering if any of you experienced/are experiencing this.

Thanks in advance!

I got a little nauseous from time to time but I never actually threw up. However my boobs hurt so bad. .. it was awful!

maggie713 · April 2014

I had no morning sickness and no sore boobs. My only side effect has been being tired, thank God!

(knocking on wood)

Have not experienced nausea or vomiting. Food aversion and sore breasts, yes. Some heartburn at night. I am at the end of 12 weeks.

I thought I was one of those lucky ones when I was pregnant with DD. My ob asked about m/s at my 1st appointment at 9 weeks and I proudly announced no sickness! The next day I was sick

(although m/so the 1st time around was a walk in the park compared to this one!)
I hope you continue to be sickness-free!!

I had no morning sickness. My mom was the same way with both of her pregnancies - and I too was wondering if it was hereditary. The worst that I got was feeling like gagging at times. I feel very thankful that I didn't experience morning sickness!

I didn't have m/s. Lots of ladies don't get it. Try not to worry (though I'll admit I worried too)!

DoublePortion · April 2014

I had one week where I was semi-queasy and that's about it. I was worried since everything I read said I sould be extra sick due to having twins. You might not have any MS at all or get it in 3rd tri. lol There is just no telling! Don't worry about it though.

I have had my fair share of morning sickness, but I know plenty of women who haven't. My boobs didn't get sore until about 7 weeks and even now it comes and goes. Enjoy it and try not to worry!

bayareagirl2011 · April 2014

Thanks for everyone's responses! I'm trying hard to enjoy being sickness-free, but along with that comes some worry. Glad I'm not alone

I didn't feel much of anything at 8 weeks. I started feeling nauseous from about 10 weeks - 15/16 weeks, and it was mainly just feeling nauseous. I threw up 5 times total, and 2 of those times were caused by a gag reflex from brushing my teeth!

FishyMom · April 2014

I was completely like you with no morning sickness until week 9. It came with a vengeance too. I also wished I had it for the reassurance purposes, and I smile now when I do have it. I am probably the only person in the world who loves my ms. So who knows maybe your will come next week.

indianaalum · April 2014

I have had mild morning sickness. no throwin up or anything. Just kinda sick to my stomach feel.

Boobs are sore for sure, though

Tired as heck..though I tend to be a napper anyway

HeatherHam10 · April 2014

I NEVER got an ounce of MS and I am almost 24 wks. I remember making this same post and being sooo worried I wasnt sick but now I honestly know I was so lucky. Its hard when youre dealing with IF brain and you worry about everything. It is true though...dont over analyze every symptom or lack of. Wish I had followed that idea. My friends had no MS either...some just dont get it.

I also didnt get a whole lot of other symptoms either and things have been great so far!

formerwigirl · April 2014

I had a little bit of nausea but that was it and I am currently 18 weeks. I take it as I am lucky I haven't had morning sickness because I've seen others who really struggled with it. It may sound stupid but it took us a bit to get pregnant but my body doesn't seem to hate it all that much so I'll take it. Oh and I did have pretty bad exhaustion up until 14-15 weeks.

Hopeful1029 · April 2014

17w1d and no m/s for me. My mom didn't have it either. I had extreme exhaustion and mild food aversions (tomatoes and onions). I also had a decreased appetite (not that I felt ill, just not hungry) try to enjoy it

katekat8721 · April 2014

As someone who is still battling sore boobs and had m/s from like 5 - 18 weeks I will say.... you are very normal and extremely lucky

From what I've heard if you get nauseous on BCP and/or motion sickness you're more likely to have morning sickness.

I know it'd be nice to feel reassured but trust that everything is going exactly as it should be and your baby is doing just fine.

BabyKsMommy · April 2014

I really think that ms is hereditary. My mom and sister had it really bad and so did I with ds. This pg I'm not throwing up yet but my dr said it usually peaks during the 8th wk which I just started my 8th wk. I def have food aversions and am nauseous. So I'm just waiting for it to really hit full force.

ball.and.chain · April 2014

I had occasional gagginess, like if I was brushing my teeth or if I coughed, but no actual nausea. No sore boobs either. I was basically just tired.

whoberry · April 2014

I'm almost 34 weeks and I never had morning sickness. I was terrified during my first tri that lack of morning sickness meant things would not go well, but fortunately that wasn't the case. I didn't experience the exhaustion everyone else complained about either. Guess I am just a super special unicorn :-)

jezebel57 · April 2014

I had no symptoms until 20 weeks and that was dizziness with my boys!

Ylvelill · April 2014

No real symptoms until just about 3 trimester where I am big as a house

Thanks for the posts ladies. I did a little bit of searching and did find that most people agree that the morning sickness, or lack thereof, is hereditary. So that may be some of my answers.

I felt a little better yesterday, but this morning I'm sort of discouraged since my uterine twinges/cramping has seemed to subsided too. I'm wondering if it's actually the decrease/disappearance in the OHSS symptoms that's making me feel this way. I'm kicking myself because rather than being thankful that I feel great, I'm questioning every little thing. It helps to read back on these and note that every pregnancy is different and many people don't feel symptoms too. Either way, I'll have an answer tomorrow when I go in for my next u/s.

Thanks again

SAME! Though, I wasn't terrified due to lack of symptoms, I thought it was great! I don't necessarily agree that it's hereditary because my mom said she got super sick when she was pregnant (like pull over while driving to puke sick), I just think every woman and every pregnancy are different. I did have some minor food aversions, mostly to any kind of meat, but no sickness. I also feel a little tired now, but at 32 weeks I'm not sleeping through the night anymore and I attribute it to this, as it's not horribly exhausting like most women complain about.

BBColt78 · April 2014

Had none with my first pregnancy. Literally felt like a million bucks for 40 weeks.

Sk8terWoman · April 2014

I never had morning sickness or sore boobs. I had some food aversions, and my appetite was out of control. Craziest hunger pains, and I was constantly hungry. I brought this up with my OB and she said that hormones affect women differently, mine seemed to make my crazy hungry. I also experienced dysgeusia, for a few weeks, which made everything taste awful.
