Answer 1

Congratulations! Some women experience morning sickness with some pregnancies--some don't! What does your physician say about this concern? If you are doing everything that you know to do to take care of yourself and your baby, then maybe you should relax, enjoy your family and this special time in your life and let God deal with your situation. Good luck!

Answer 2

Here's an article from a book of mine that I think you might find interesting.

"Morning Sickness

I haven't had any morning sickness. Can I still be pregnant?

Morning sickness, like a craving for pickles and ice cream, is one of those truisms about pregnancy that ain't necessarily so. Studies show that a little more than one-half of all expectant women experience the nausea and vomiting associated with morning sickness - which means that a little less than one half don't. If your among those who never suffer from it, or who feel only occasionally mildly queasy, you can condier yourself not only pregnant but lucky"

I would also like to add on to what the book has said, and say that even though you may have had morning sickness with your two other children, it doesn't necessarily mean that you will suffer from it with this pregnancy. Each pregnancy is different, and you will get different symptoms and complaints.

Also, it may be too early for you to be experiencing morning sickness. You may only start to experience it in a few weeks, when your body can no longer cope with the rapid rise of your hormones.

Your hCG levels are right on the mark too, so I wouldn't worry about that at all. My hCG levels were about that high at 6 weeks as well.

Also, before having an ultrasound done, in the first trimester every woman has a 20-25% chance of having a miscarriage. Once a woman has had an ultrasound, and it has showed a normal and healthy embryo (baby), the risk of having a miscarriage falls again, to around 10%. This is because, the ultrasound has ruled out a blighted ovum pregnancy (where the egg is fertilised, but doesn't develop, which causes 60-80% of all first trimester miscarriages), ectopic pregnancy (where the egg implanted itself outside of the uterus, for example in a fallopian tube, rendering the pregnancy unviable), and molar pregnancy.

I'm going to include the link to a pregnancy forum that I think you might find useful. It's full of supportive women with boundless knowledge about these issues. I learnt so much there that I doubt I would have learnt otherwise.

Answer 3

You are suffering under a misapprehension. There is no such thing as a normal pregnancy. Every woman is different, as is every baby. So you aren't tossing your cookies every ten minutes, be thankful and press on.

My wife and I went through four pregnancies. From our mid 20's through our very late 30's. Same mother, same father but different pregnancies each and all. Have you heard the first is the hardest? Not so with Barb. Each one became progressively worse. Some of this biology stuff is really strange, just get used to it.

Best wishes on the upcoming event.

Answer 4

When did you start to get sick during your last pregnancies? It may still kick in or it may not at all. I know some women who had no morning sickness at all and were very healthy. Don't worry.

Answer 5

completely normal babe!
when i was pregnant with my first son i had almost no morning sickness, now i am 6 months pregnant and i have had it since day 1. the body works in mysterious ways sometimes.

Answer 6

You're lucky. I've had two. Morning sickness in the first trimester then with the second, the whole pregnacy.

What does your doctor say? I say lucky B&^tch...I mean it in a good way. LOL

Answer 7

Every pregnancy is different, even for the same woman. It could be that your body is used to the "invasion" of the child and isn't messing with your hormones as much. If you are truely concerned, speak with your OB/GYN. Good Luck.

Answer 8

I never really had morning sickness. Just the occasional nausea and I never threw up. My baby is just fine.

Don't worry about it. Not everyone has it. Perfectly normal.

Answer 9

Have you talked to your doctor about this ? Well your very lucky to not have any morning sickness ! Maybe your already used to this since you had prevouise children !

Answer 10

Not everyone gets morning sickness. Count your lucky stars!
