No Morning Sickness?

I remember when I first went to hear the babys heartbeat, I told the man that I didn't think I was pregnant anymore. I felt wonderful, no symptoms, skinny, etc.
He asked if I had experienced any heavy bleeding. I told him no. Sure enough, the sonogram showed a little baby inside me with a strong heartbeat. I couldn't believe it. I did panic many times throughout my pregnancy when I didn't feel the baby, so I ordered my own heart doppler exactly like they use in the doctors office. It cost around 60.00-80.00 to rent for 3 months, but it sure brought a lot of needed peace to my mind when I could check the heartbeat anytime of the day.

My first advise to you is, if you have ANY concerns, contact your OB doc.

I can tell you that with my first pregnancy, I had few early symptoms. Most of my ailments came about towards 12 weeks. However, Fatigue was always present. During my first pregnancy, I had the WEIRDEST symptom - excess saliva. I know it sounds gross but some days I wished I had morning sickness over a constant mouth full of spit. So when I did not know I was pregnant with my second, one day, I began spitting a lot - that prompted me to buy a pregnancy test. And it was positive.

Each pregnancy can bring new or existing symptoms. Again, contact your OB if you have concerns. If you need a recommendation for an OB, I have an excellent one!!

Good Luck.

Your symptoms are almost exactly the same as mine. I'm 7 months now. My boobs were sore in the beginning, but that faded. They're starting up again right now though, fun times. I was tired for a few weeks, but that also went away pretty quickly. Other than that I have felt fine. No morning sickness.

I wouldn't worry too much. As they say eveyone is different.

All of my pregnancies were different. My first pregnancy I did feel sicker than the other two. But you saw the baby's heartbeat! What a great sign! I'd relax and stop worrying. You could still get the morning sickness later.

Definitely call your OB. He/she should have you come into the office to listen to the heartbeat. It only takes 2 minutes - if even that and it saves you lots of worry. I know my OB told me anytime I was worried in the first trimester (maybe things didnt feel right) to just call and the nurse would check for the heartbeat - anytime - even if it is several times a week. They didn't mind at all. I didnt go every week, but I know in the first trimester I must have gone maybe twice. Once I heard the heartbeat and it was within 'range' I always left feeling a thousand times better just knowing things were okay. Your OB I'm sure should provide you with that piece of mind - just ask.

Do not worry, have faith. In my first pregnancy I had no symtoms until I was almost to my 3rd month and then I was very very sick for a whole month and I had a healthy beautiful baby. Now my baby is 4months. And guess what...I am pregnant again I just found out today that I am 4weeks and 4 days pregnant and I do not feel pregnant yet. Doctors say that if you maintain a healthy balance nutrition then you are less likely to get really bad morning sickness. Continue taking your pre-natal vitamin and eating right and you will see that in 9months you will have a healthy baby in your arms. Best of Luck

For my second pregnancy - I did not have any morning sickness. Go figure. Had a healthy baby boy....

Mom of teenage boys!

Every pregnancy is different, as other moms said. Breast soreness was mild for me. I didn't have morning sickness. I did have some nausea, though, but I mostly just felt tired. But if you are worried, call your OB.

I know how scary that pregnancy after a miscarriage is. I miscarried midway through my second pregnancy. For me, my worries started when I had some spotting. I didn't think so much about not having morning sickness, but in the back of my head I just worried about my body rejecting the baby. Everything turned out well. (You need to think positive.) Thinking back I believe I felt so much fear about the following pregnancy because the miscarriage was so draining emotionally. I didn't want to feel that way again. It's hard to keep emotions in check when your pregnant, but do try to be positive.

It probably will help to make the call to your doc. I'll tell you, it helped me. The doc was on speed dial.

Good luck to you.

I never had any morning sickness...only like 50-60% of women get morning sickness, but everyone thinks all women do.

I know this is serious, but, on a lighter note, I'm going to say a little prayer every day: "Please, God, make Tiffany puke this morning." Anything to be supportive.

I had no symptoms with either of my pregnancies and I had two healthy babies.

Most of my friends had uneventful & healthy pregnancies and had little or no morning sickness. I, on the other hand, was sick almost the whole nine months with all 4 of my kids (to the extent of being almost bedridden with my 3rd during the 2nd & 3rd month) and had healthy babies, so I don't really think the morning sickness is what keeps your baby safe and healthy!

This is an awful feeling to have. After my miscarriage, my OB gave me a few extra ultrasounds until I hit the 12 or 15 week mark, can't remember which, just to give me peace of mind. you might check with your doc and see if insurance will approve it.

I had a few days of severe morning and night sickness initially and then other than one FULL day of crying for no apparent reason, but other than that I was not sick.

For me in the first three months, I was very sensitive to smells - as a result I could not eat anything but brown rice and I could not even be in the same part of the house when it was being prepared.

Also, I was very tired - I would go to sleep at 8pm easliy, and yes, my breasts were very sensitive too. I hated speed bumps!

I really enjoyed being pregnant, and I hope you are blessed with a similar experience. I can only imagine how hard it is to miscarry - I recently read that to be a mother is to have your heart in another person's body - I wish you the best!
