My friend whose pregnant just told me that she stopped being sick at week 11ish. Then she went to the doctors at week 12 and he told her the baby must have died at week 8 b/c at that app. they couldn't find a heartbeat and there still wasn't one at week 12. She had a feeling all along that the baby had died b/c she wasn't feeling pregnant or sick anymore. She just hasn't passed the baby yet. They are scheduling a DNC this next week :(
I'm 5.5 weeks pregnant. I was only really sick for 2 days. However it might have been caused by a vaginal infection b/c my antibiotics say they might take away or cause nauseous ness. My question is I'm not feeling sick hardly at all. I do if I don't eat anything for a while, like when I wake up in the morning. But even then it's not that bad. I also have diarrhea. I was sick from weeks 8-12 w/my first daughter and sick til like week 16 w/my second daughter. Could what is happening to me be normal b/c every pregnancy is different or do you think I'm having a miscarriage? I didn't know that pregnancies could be this different? If anyone has ever experienced these things could you let me know? Thank you!
Morning sickness didn't kick in until 6 weeks for me and was worse with my daughter than my son.
My first symptoms when I miscarried were spotting, then cramping, then bleeding.
HUGS!!
Every pregnancy is different. You are newly pregnant. Not all women are walking around sick when they are pregnant. I felt like I had the flu when I was pregnant. I was not nauseous. Your diarrhea can be caused by the high levels of hormones that are present because you are pregnant. It could also be because you are on antibiotics. If you are concerned. You can rent doppler units off the internet. We rented one when I was pregnant with my daughter. We lost our first child due to a fatal birth defect. I was a nervous wreck on my second pregnancy. We rented a doppler until I could feel movement. I was great to hear the heart beat every evening. I hope this may help. Hang in there. I pray that you pregnancy produces a healthy baby. Enjoy the blessing.
Every pregnancy is different. Different from one pregnancy to the next. I would say if you are so concerned make an appt. but do not sit around and stress yourself, that could lead to self abortion. I myself carried my baby full term and was never "sick", and shes healthy and fine.
M., my experience has been no nausea before 7 weeks pregnant. You are pretty early so I wouldn't expect much nausea at this point anyway. Also remember, it is very possible for your pregnancy to be very different from the first two. I wouldn't worry yourself at this point.
First, every pregnancy is different. And if you are curious, call your dr, and have an US done to check..mine was always very helpful when I was worried..having had a previous M/C. Relax, and call the Dr. it will make you feel much better.

I just wanted to tell you that yes the medications can cause all your symtoms. Just know that every pregnancy is different. I have had four child and have been pregnant 5 times. With my first daughter and the miscarriage I was not ill at all! But the 2nd child I was sick for only the first trimester and then My last was twins and I was sick the whole entire time.
Just to ease your mind I hope you go to the doctor and also know that there are these little machines that you can use at home to liten for your baby all the time. You can buy them at Babies-R-Us. I had one and it's great to beable to hear your baby the first of every morning and every night.
I hope all is well, Good Luck
You've already received all sorts of advice...I just wanted to send you some good vibes. I've been through a couple myself and know the worry can really be stressful. I did learn, the hard way, that there is little you can do to prevent a miscarriage at this stage of the game. I sincerely hope that is not the case for you.
Do call your doctor/midwife, but keep in mind that an ulstrasound, even a vaginal one, may have difficulty detecting a heartbeat at this stage. The best way is to check HCG levels...they may want to a couple a few days apart to ensure levels are maintaining or increasing.
You're probably fine. Why don't you go to a pharmacy and get a pregnancy test kit to check? You'll have your answer in half an hour. Set your mind at rest.
Every pregnancy is totally different.
I was never sick at all, ever, during pregnancy. Not once.
I lost a baby that never passed, I had a DNC. I was sick all the time. I felt horrible and sleept alot. The last two pregancys have been different from eachother. Apparently this is what everyone says. I knew I was pregnant with both before I ever took a test. My boobs feel swollen, I have slight cramping every now and then. I did not have cramping before with the one I lost. I have yet to get sick. I am about two months along...I have not been to the first doctors appointment yet. Since you are consirned with it call the nurse and ask her. She will know for sure if you need an appointment or not. I hate the scary months of being pregnant where your not sure whats happening or if the baby is safe. But hang in there and know God is incontroll.
All pregnancies are different, and it could be that you are just not that sick this time. I didn't have much nausea at all with my three pregnancies, though my HCG levels were high. Talk to your OB/midwife to ease your mind.
The medications that you have taken can and sometimes do cause the diarrhea. Like you said every time is different, so not start with the every thing is wrong because of that. Relax and your body will take over. When time see the Dr. we were given this a a very large gift to be able to have a family and we need to take it as given.
It would be best to call your doctor. When I was pregnant with my first child, I was NEVER sick. Every day of my 9 months was like every day normal life. I got heart burn once because I ate some really greasy pizza. My second pregnancy I never got sick but I figured out that I was pregnant because I had diarrhea for a week straight and no medicine would make it better. So I took a test and it was positive. But other than that 1 week of diarrhea I was never sick, no vomiting at all. Every pregnacy, with every child and every woman is differnt. Good luck with this pregnancy and baby number 3~!!! Children are such a blessing~!!
Sorry to hear about your friend and her baby. My heart goes out to her~!
I don't know the answer to your personal situation since I'm not a doctor. However, my two pregnancies were ENTIRELY different. My first pregnancy I was "sicker than a dog." I had to carry a bucket with me every time I rode in the car because I couldn't keep anything down. My second pregnancy I had no morning sickness at all. I did not miscarry. I have two beautiful children.
Every pregnancy is different, every pregnancy is different. Be glad you're not being so sick with this one. I had 3 pregnancies, all very different, although not much sickness with any of them. By all means keep going to the doctor and being checked on, but not being nauseous does not mean a miscarriage. Good luck with baby #3.
Yes, every pregnancy is different. One you may be sick as a dog and/or have every other problem possible. The next you don't have one problem. Old wives tales say that you tend to be more sick with girls than boys. Maybe your having a boy. There are a multitude of reasons you are not having morning sickness.
What you are experiencing is likely normal. Every pregnancy is different. The degree of difference has many factors: your age and health being among the top two...then there is what you eat, how much water you are getting in your system, if you exercise regularly or not, and a myriad of other things.
If you are truly concerned about it, call your doctor and make an urgent appointment for him/her to check the viability of your pregnancy.
Good Luck and congratulations!!! ;-)
I was never really sick when I was pregnant. I had a boy. Maybe you are having a boy and his growing hormones are making this pregnancy different. Brushing my teeth caused me to be sick more than anything.
Think positive thoughts and pray.
with my son i was sick the whole time i was preggo and with my daughter the only time i got sick was when i was brushing my teeth so they can be really different if you are worried call you doc and make an appointment
If you're only 5.5 weeks along, you might not be far enough along to feel morning sickness yet. It usually sets in when your hormone levels start to increase significantly and at 5.5 weeks, they may not be that far along yet. I wouldn't worry too much unless you're having other symptoms of miscarriage. Every pregnancy IS different, so don't compare yours with your friend's at this point. You'll probably just have to wait it out until your first ultrasound, which is usually around 7-9 weeks. Try not to worry and enjoy being pregnant! Congrats!
I'm sorry to her about your friend and her baby. I pray her family is doing okay and coping well.
Every woman is different and every pregnancy is different. Don't stress yourself or you might end up being sick. You have to be at ease for your family too. Go to the doctor and just get checked. I'm sure everything is okay.
Take care of yourself, your girls and the little one on the way. You are blessed!
I am not a dr or nurse, but in my experience, if you are misscarrying that early, you will bleed like a period.
If you are concerned, make an appt with your dr. I was not sick with any of mine (all boys) but smells were terrible! They are all different and most women are less sick with boys than girls.
Good Luck
I was sick as a dog with my first, not sick at all with my second. They are both very healthy. Pregnancy makes you worry. Period. I feel terrible for the ordeal your friend went through, but in my opinion, you should stop listening to horror stories and try to enjoy an easy pregnancy.
Hi! I've only been pregnant with my son, but only felt nausea twice in my whole pregnancy and both times lasted a whopping 5 minutes. Congrats on your pregnancy and so sorry for your friend...
The worst thing about being pregnant is hearing all the horrible things that can go wrong. If you are truely worried, go and see your Dr. to set your mind at ease. You are correct that every pregnancy is different. My SIL is on her third pregnancy and has gone through the same things as you. She just got confirmation that she is about to have her 3rd boy. She was surprised because her pregnancy was so different this time that she was sure it was a girl.
Take some deep breaths and calm down. Call your Dr. and go in to see him. He will let you know one way or the other.
I think you are probably just fine. I wasn't sick at all with my first, I would just get crazy hungry to the point of feeling horrible if I didn't eat. I was really sick with this one (I am about 10wks) for a couple weeks and now I don't know if I feel better or am just used to feeling bad. I have a lot more fatigue this time around too, of course I have a two year old! So anyway, I wouldn't worry. Are you having an ultrasound at 8wks? If so that should be a wonderful time to put your mind at rest. I know I was so relieved to see that little heart just pumping away:) For now I would just enjoy your pregnancy. If you don't have cramping and bleeding I think you are fine. I am really sorry for your friend's loss. Everything I have read says that sickness is not an indicator that a pregnancy is healthy, and I wasn't sick at all last time and had a super healthy boy:) Best wishes!!
