Ok, I've seen it flamed on all 3 boards and I want to throw my 2 cents out there. It doesn't seem rational to wish for it, because it really does suck, but think about it this way. M/S is a good sign. It means your pregnancy is going well. So, perhaps they wish for it to have reassurance. I'm just sayin.

Re: Wishing for m/s
from all accounts (including my RE & OBGYN) this is an untrue statement. i'm sure there is some merit to it- but it's not fact.

I'm just going by what I was told. I'm not a doctor!
My OB also said that m/s is not necessarily a sign of a healthy pregnancy. And the lack of it is definitely a sign of an unhealthy one. I have not had any m/s and the babe is healthy as can be. I have also not worried about it. But worriers will worry.
I would tend to agree.
But SC's benefit of the doubt is a lovely consideration.
I would like to think that is the reason they wish for it, rather than just staying skinny or losing weight.
I understand you're not saying this is gospel, but I still feel the need to add that it's completely untrue.
I had violent m/s thorughout my missed m/c pregnancy. I lost the baby at 6w and I didn't find out until 10w, all along being violently nasty sick.

This is a direct quote from my OB "In my experience, bad m/s means you are going to have a good pregnancy"
My mother didnt have m/s with both my sis and i and she had major complications and a vanishing twin...
