I'm a Little Worried About My Developing Fetus

You should feel lucky not to feel sick!!! Get the book What to Expect When You're Expecting. I never ready that one, but What to Expect the First Year was a sanity saver for me. I would imagine that the book prior to that is great too!

Just to share a story with you...I was 5 months pregnant before I even knew I was pregnant. I was still geting my cycle, no morning sickness, no increase in appetites, no weight gain....and to add that I had a 8 lb healthy son.

I have three beautiful babies, and I never had one morning of morning sickness. I would not worry about that. Good Luck!!!

You are absolutely fine! I wasn't sick one day- the only way I knew I was pregnant was because I missed my period. I actually read somewhere that only 50% of women actually get sick. Just consider yourself lucky and enjoy the rest of your pregnancy!

As you've read so far, alot of people don't get morning sickness. I never did with any of my pregnancies, so don't worry. You should go buy the Mayo Clinic's Guide to a Healthy Pregnancy because until you have this baby, you are going to have a ton of questions and doubts and this book will definitely help. It is a great medical pregnancy book!

Congradulations! I wouldn't worry. some women don't go thru the morning sickness at all! Be very happy! My last pregnancy I was sick from 4 weeks pregnant to 5 hours after delivery.
Good luck and have fun!

W., don't be concerned. I did not experience morning sickness at all and I have a perfect 11 month old little boy. I also worked in an OB/GYN office as a medical assistant for 2 1/2 years and I have heard the doctors say many times not to be concerned if you don't have morning sickness. It is not a sign of an unhealthy pregnancy. Hope that eases your mind a little bit.

i didnt have morning sickness the only tme i got sick is when i was on the way back from the beach and i got car sick not morning sickness

Some people experience morning sickness and some don't. My mother and I are almost identical on how our bodies react to things. When I became pregnant with my son I was sick starting at six weeks, but when my mom was pregnant with me she didn't experience anything like I did. Don't let yourself worry too much. Getting throught the first trimester is enough. I'm sure you have a healthly fetus growing inside of you. I hope this helps reassure you.

Hi W. - it can be quite normal to have no morning sickness. I had three babies and didn't feel sick with any of them - never once did I vomit like all of my friends had done. I found I would get light-headed if I did not eat as soon as I got up, but other than that, I too was fine. Not too much changed in how I felt. As long as you aren't having any other issues such as bleeding, cramping, spotting, etc - you are most likely just fine. You'll be able to know more once you go to your doctor again. If you are overly concerned you can go to the doctor or ER and they can do a trans-vaginal ultrasound to insure that position and heartbeat are fine, but without any other indications that things are not, I would not rush to do this. Best wishes and congratulations on your pregnancy...

W.,
Don't worry about the lack of morning sickness. I had 3 sons and didn't have morning sickness with any of them. They are all 3 normal.
Congratulations on your pregnancy. You will have years of fun raising your baby.

I'm one of many who never had morning sickness. And a wonderful pregnancy. I have three sisters who had varied experiences with their total of nine pregnancies. Be thankful. You are one of the lucky ones.

I can't say I haven't been sick with my last two pregnancies but I just wanted to comment on how wonderful it is to love something so unexpected. I went through the same thing and I worried the whole time. Good Luck!

It is super normal not to be sick. There are plenty of woman who never have MS. I am prego wth #2 and never have had MS. I am a lucky one there are woman out there. You are fine and so is your little one.

I was fortunate enough not to have morning sickness with either of my girls and both were born completely healthy. I think it really just depends on the person.

Perfectly normal! Consider yourself lucky! A friend of mine has 3 children and didn't have morning sickness with any of them! However, you said you're about 8 weeks...it might take another week or two for the sickness to kick in.
Also- my daughter was a surprise as well. We didn't really plan (or want) children until many years after getting married, but 6 months after our wedding day I got pregnant....and my daughter is the absolute love of my life and I wouldn't change a thing. So, hang in there- it will be a great time in your life!

I am pregnant with our first child as well. From everything I have read so far, it is perfectly normal to have no sickness related to pregnancy. In fact, I read that only about 50 percent of pregant woman do experience these symptoms. I am 15 weeks now and I was pretty nauseated from about 9-13 weeks, so even though you are normal and lucky if you feel good, you may not be out of the woods yet!

Hi, im gonna tell you i have a 22month old healthy little boy who i never got sick with and trust me hes very healthy and also im 22 weeks pregnant with my second boy and i dont get sick with him either so id say it normal not to get sick.

W.,
It is normal not to have morning sickness. I had absolutely no morning sickness. However, what I missed in morning sickness, I got in horrible, unrelenting heartburn from months 6-9. My son was born at 42 weeks, 8 lbs 6 oz, and perfectly healthy. Don't worry! You will feel pregnant before long sure enough... :)

There is nothing to worry about. I have 5 children and the last two I had no morning sickness. Just felt kind of sluggish and didn't feel myself but otherwise they came into the world healthy babies. Thank God that you don't have the morning sickness that is a true blessing compared to what you may experience with the aches and pains as your uterus starts to grow and all the stuff that comes with pregnancy. Don't worry all is well and I wish you the best of blessings with your new baby to come.

Congrats!!!! With my first pregnancy I wasn't sick either. I never got morning sickness at all. With my second one, I didn't get morning sickness, my stomach would just get really quezzy (sp) when I rode in the car long distances. So be thankful that you don't have it and no nothing should be wrong with the baby. I had 2 babies both weighing over 7 pounds and both were full term. So just sit back and eat and enjoy!!!

Trust me, you don't want morning sickness! I've known plenty of women who weren't sick one day of their entire pregnancy and went on to have beautiful, healthy babies! Thank your lucky stars you haven't felt the ill effects yet. Trust me, there's plenty of time left for you to experience the other fun symptoms, like heartburn, constipation, achy back, etc. Hang in there, and hopefully your doctor will have great news for you when you get to the office.

W., I had a pregnancy like that also. I'm not saying this will happen for you, but for me, I also had no morning sickness for the first three months. I went through my entire pregnancy with no type of sickness, until I got to my final month. I got very sick, and couldn't keep anything on my stomach. Everything that I ate, came up. I was huge, and I also had lots of Braxton-Hicks contractions, which were painless. I went 9 days past my due date. I finally had real contractions the night before, went to the hospital around 11:00 a.m., had a C-section, and delivered a 9 lbs. baby boy by 11:47 a.m. Again, I'm not saying this will happen for you, but this happened for me. Hope that your pregnancy will go smoothly for you.

You definitely sound crazy. I'm 28 and have had three babies and have never had morning sickness. I never thought that was weird or that something was wrong either. You are just lucky so count your blessings. If I had to endure morning sickness on top of all the other changes in pregnancy, I will probably only have one child. Morning sickness is like a curse (well that's what my friends tell me).

Hey W.,

I wouldn't worry to much. Where i had a miserable pregnancy my best friend never got morning sickness, half of the time she didn't even feel pregnant. She now has healthy little boy who is three weeks old. Some women are just lucky like that!

My morning sickness did not kick in til at least 11 or 12 weeks!

I never had morning sickness either. There were times though that I didn't have and appitite, and a few things that were gross to me while I was pregnant. Like, sausage-- it tasted horrible, and even the smell grossed me out. It took me a year after my daughter was born to eat it again. Everyone is different. I'd be dancing for joy if you don't have any morning sickness. I have known people that couldn't eat anything but Saltines for the first trimester. And obviously it is much better for you and your baby if you can eat a healthy balanced diet, and it's not coming up all the time.

I would not worry. I was never sick and had a healthy baby girl. The only thing I felt was tired. My sister was also never sick. Consider yourself LUCKY! Good luck!

I think you're perfectly normal. I was 9 weeks pregnant before I found out; no morning sickness. I am one of 7 kids and my mom was not sick with any of us. Every pregnancy is different; it's common to have morning sickness but not everyone gets it. Also, don't be surprised if it does come on a little here and there. I never threw up but around 10 weeks, I started feeling like I was going to.

I wouldn't worry about not being sick. Matter of fact, count it LUCKY!!! I was sick the whole pregnancy with my first and just started getting sick with my second one. Most of my friends never got sick and felt fine the whole pregnancy. My sister just had a baby on your anniversary and she felt perfectly fine all the way up until delivery. With the expection of feeling the baby move (in the late second and third trimester) she never felt pregnant. Her little boy was 7 lbs and 20 inches.

If that is all your symptoms, count your blessings chick! You do not want morning sickness...believe me!

I am a 40 year old mother of three and I never had morning sickness. The worst thing I had was headaches with my third son. All my boys were born healthy and happy..so please don't worry! Like the other woman said, "count your blessings"! Goodluck with your pregnancy!

Hey W.,

I never had much morning sickness. I felt quesy for about 2 weeks (between 6 and 8 weeks) especially in the mornings, but I never actually "got sick" as in loosing whatever I had just eaten.

I work with a lady who is pregnant right now. She said that she never had morning sickness. She is now in her thrid trimester and is carrying a perfect baby boy.

By the way, there is an old wives tale that says if you have little or no morning sickness, that it is a boy. My baby is a little boy, too. So between me and the girl here at work, we are 2 for 2.

I wouldn't be concerned about not feeling sick. I'm sure everything is just fine with your little one! But what I didn't have in morning sickness, I had awful pain when his feet got up under my ribs.

Congrats and the best of luck!

I never had any sickness with my first and she's a healthy 3 year old. Your really quite early in your pregnancy and probably won't "feel" prego for a while. Consider yourself lucky because you will start to feel it soon with ALL sorts of strange things happening!! Good Luck!!

my mom had horrible morning sickness throughout all three pregancies. I had absolutely none. My daughter was born totally healthy . . . enjoy it!

I never had morning sickness. I now have a healthy, happy little girl. Count yourself as one of the few lucky ones!!!!
:)

it is nothing to worry about. i know how hard that is. a lot of women dont have morning sickness, and some women do. some women have it with their first baby, but not with their second. i started getting morning sickness around 8 weeks, and i was not enjoying it, if i were you, i would enjoy not having morning sickness, trust me you are not missing out on anything fun. enjoy your pregnancy. my pregnancy was unexpected and unplanned and i was only 21. now i wish i would have enjoyed my pregnancy more since time really went by fast.

Be glad!! I had very little morning sickness with my first. Just a little queasey at times a little later in my pregnancy, but nothing terrible. With the second I felt sick for the first, I don't know, 7 months!! It was horrible! I never got sick, but I felt terrible! Nothing wrong with your baby, you are just extremely blessed!

PS. At one point, I thought I had miscarried with my second pregnancy, and I had no morning sickness during that time, but I did once I found out I hadn't lost the baby....weird. I could've sworn it wasn't just in my head!!

If you are clueless about pregnancy why don't you get some books on it? it really helps. You will know all the signs, what's normal and what's not.. You need to know your warning signs as well cause it could potentially save your life. And trust me, when you start feeling pregnant, you will want that baby out. I carried twins for 37 weeks, I felt like a whale. I also didn't have morning sickness.. I was quiesy for 2 weeks but never got really sick.. And at 8 weeks you shouldn't "feel" pregnant unless you got more than one in there. With my first pregnancy I didn't feel much til she started moving around.

Don't worry! It is normal - in fact, you are really lucky!

Oh, it's early yet. I didn't get sick until I was 11 weeks pregnant. Some women never get sick. Try not to worry. You are so early in your pregnancy that really, anything can happen. 13 weeks with no trouble is a good sign... not having morning sickness is nothing to worry about.

I had a 'suprise' baby too - unplanned, but a wonderful suprise! GIRL - be GLAD you don't have the morning sickness!! Mine lasted the ENTIRE preganancy! Although I think it's prefectly normal to either have it or not, I know you're OB will put you at ease! Good Luck!! -sticking my tongue out at you in envy!-
