Not complaining by why do I not feel sick

ansalat126 · January 2016

Ok so I'm at 6 weeks and still no signs of "morning" sickness. I know it's possible for some women and heck! Totally not complaining, but why am I not getting sick? I know that I'm pregnant but I don't feel like I am....

This can be so unnerving. I'm 6+4 and was getting myself all worked up about minimal symptoms especially because I had a loss with my 1st pregnancy, but went in and had a perfect ultrasound today and go to even hear the heartbeat. Everyone is different, try not to let it worry you.

With my first pregnancy (and this one so far too), I had no symptoms at all until at least 5 months and even then, the worst it got for me was heartburn. Try not to worry and just be glad you're not puking

Some women have no symptoms, some women have all of the symptoms, and some women have a few. Symptoms don't indicate anything about your pregnancy, really.

Honestly, I would just consider yourself lucky that you don't feel the overwhelming need to barf everywhere.

I kept thinking the same thing and then it hit me at 6w5d.. And it's been rough!! So either you're lucky or it might hit you a bit later like me.

I'm nearly 10 weeks and still no nausea at all - I did ask my docotor (twice!) if that's normal and she said, yes for sure, every body is different. Thankful I didn't have to deal with it!

It's still early, my friend!

I'm 10 weeks and I haven't had any morning sickness! Very mild nausea a couple of times in the afternoon but other than that just pure exhaustion and breast soreness. I was just as nervous when I was 6-8 weeks but my 9w ultrasound made me feel a lot better! Hang in there!

MrsAlT68 · January 2016

9 weeks here, very minimal nausea and I was tired for like a week and now I feel pretty good overall. I agree it's unnerving, I've saw quite a few posts on here about "not feeling pregnant" which means it's pretty common and your totally normal for being worried about it too, I'm just trying to think that were the lucky ones!

It's all about how sensitive your body is to the change in hormones. The fact that you aren't getting sick just means that your body handles the changes a little better/more easily than others. ;-)

Keep your fingers crossed you didn't jinx yourself LOL! You're still a week or so from hitting the hCG spike. But in all serious I know more women who were not sick or had very little sickness than I know who were very sick so I wouldn't worry.

lalalorelai · January 2016

Don't jinx yourself yet. I was in your boat and right around 7w5d it hit me like a mack truck.

But I've only actually gotten sick once so far (fingers crossed!) and my nausea is still tolerable. Like someone else said, more women I know (including my MIL, my own mother, and two friends who recently gave birth) said they never once experienced morning sickness at all. I've heard 70-80% of pregnant women get it, but who knows.

I never got sick during my first pregnancy, some women just don't. I had a little bit of nausea/aversion to certain foods for a couple weeks, but nothing all that noticeable.

mimihatesyou · January 2016

this website compiles a significant amount of literature and findings related to nvp (nausea & vomiting in pregnancy) by comparing a variety of risk factors with respect to personal and obstetric histories. it's an interesting read. i haven't experienced any pregnancy-related nausea or vomiting and i'm currently at 10 weeks. it's a little unnerving to feel so well during the first trimester, but i did note some findings here that may contribute.

TCUFrog08 · January 2016

I was expecting to have way more considering my mom was VERY sick when she was pregnant with both myself and my brother.

I am also trying to have a really positive attitude when I do have some sickness. Drink some water, move around and think about other stuff.

ThePax89 · January 2016

I had wicked morning sickness starting at 6 weeks with my daughter. After the first tri, my pregnancy was smooth sailing, and symptom free essentially. Most women aren't so lucky. What I am trying to say is: there is time left in the pregnancy for you to be miserable.

Veronica0422 · January 2016

I think it is USUALLY said the average person will start to feel symptoms around 8 weeks. This is my third pregnancy, my daughter is 6, my youngest daughter is only 15 weeks, and I'm 5w4d pregnant with my 3rd. I had horrible horrible morning sickness with my first, never threw up once. Around 4 months it went away and I felt "normal." With my 15 week old, the pregnancy was a lot better to me., but I threw up twice. The morning sickness wasn't as intense and it went away a lot sooner. The first three months I had my feeling like death days where I basically just drank ginger ale and hoped the nausea would eventually go away. Usually its from about 8 weeks until you get out of that first trimester around 12/13 weeks. The rest of the pregnancy was good, and for the majority of days I felt like me. I am hoping this time around (which will be my last time around) this little bean is just as good to me! Wishing you ALL a happy, and feeling GOOD pregnancy!!!

with both my first pregnancy and this one I had/have NO symptoms. and that completely normal for some women. It was/is wonderful I just got to enjoy being pregnant.

mooncusp22 · January 2016

I am 9w1d. I've felt completely normal!! I had a small period of time where I was really tired, but even my energy has increased. Also had maybe 30min of nausea total (about 2 days ago) and then it went away. I never threw up with DD1 either- I did keep a journal and around week 9 is when I started having food aversions where I thought I would be sick but never did. Nothing has hit yet- most of the time if I didn't know I was pregnant, then I wouldn't know I was pregnant. 1st ultrasound is in 1 week, can't come soon enough so I know all is OK and I can enjoy not feeling any symptoms!

smilormarie · January 2016

I knew before my first pregnancy that I would never get morning sickness. Sort of how I "knew" I could never handle an epidural or "knew" I wouldn't be able to get pregnant easily. I think some of it also is due to my past experience with a bad gallbladder and feeling like I was going to vomit every day for almost 5 years before it was removed. Now after that nothing phases me. I consider myself lucky that I don't get morning sickness and due to a breast reduction when I was 18, I barely even notice any breast tenderness. If it weren't for the ultrasound, blood test, and no periods, I wouldn't even know I was pregnant and I'd blame being tired on having a toddler, and it being winter, and not eating right/not exercising. Yep. I'd be one of those women who didn't know until I felt kicking! :-)
you're in good company!!

I have days were I don't "feel" pregnant and other days that I can't believe I even questioned it. As far as morning sickness, I haven't puked yet and I'm 9w today. I do get bouts of nausea occasionally, mainly while grocery shopping, weird I know. But after having my corpus luteum cyst rupture at the very beginning my main pregnancy symptom is my boobs always being sore and already not fitting into my bras. I had an US at 6w6d because of the cyst rupturing and we were able to see the heart beating so that helped put everything at ease. Anyways, be glad you're not barfing everywhere and its still early for you so you might not be that lucky.

Wolfie646 · January 2016

I thankfully haven't had any nausea and I'm 12w. My mom said she didn't have any morning sickness either, so maybe it has something to do with genes. Only symptoms I've had are sore boobs and raging mood swings. I feel awful for ppl who have been on the receiving end of my pregatidude.
