Should I be worried?

Question

I'm 6 weeks pregnant with my second child. I was overwhelmed with morning sickness the first time around, but this time I haven't really had any. Also, the only real symptoms I have is the missed period, face breakouts, and serious fatigue. I had a miscarriage 3 months ago. I'm not cramping with this one like I did then, but I'm still worried. What do you think?

Answer 1

I think your body has probably now understood prgnancy maybe.I was fine with all of my three boys but as soon as I got pregnant with my girl I was sick all the time so could be a different sex ? If you are worried go to the docs but maybe your lifestyle has changed for the better now you have a child,Good Luck.

Answer 2

One thing I've learned in these past 6 months of pregnancy is that no two pregnancies are alike. You know what it's like to be pregnant, but you don't know what this pregnancy will bring. I think everything about this one has been different from the first. It's natural to be worried after having had a miscarraige. I lost one of twins at the beginning of this pregnancy, and have worried a lot about the remaining baby. All you can do is take care of yourself and get good medical care.

Answer 3

Every pregnancy is different, even for the same person.
I didn't have any cramping with the 2 miscarriages I had. One at 6 weeks and one at 3 months.

Check with your doctor, even if it's not time for your next visit. Tell him/her of your concerns and about your previous miscarriage.

Answer 4

It's natural to be worried after the experience you had with the first one. Have you told your Doctor how worried you are? If your not having any problems now, and your Doctor says your ok, then I'd try not to worry. Just try to rest and relax as much as possible, and you should be ok! I hope everything works out for the best for you. Good Luck!

Answer 5

Being worried is normal; however, the amount of morning sickness has nothing to do with the viability of the pregnancy.

Morning sickness, also called nausea and vomiting of pregnancy (NVP) or pregnancy sickness, affects between 50 and 95 percent of all pregnant women as well as some women who take birth control pills or hormone replacement therapy. The nausea can be mild or induce actual vomiting. In extreme cases, known as hyperemesis gravidarum, hospitalization may be required to treat the resulting dehydration.

[edit] Duration of condition
Morning sickness can occur at any time of the day, though it occurs most often upon waking, because blood sugar levels are typically the most depressed after a night without food.[citation needed]

Morning sickness usually starts in the first month of the pregnancy, peaking in the fifth to seventh weeks, and continuing until the 14th to 16th week. For half of the sufferers, it ends by the 16th week of pregnancy. It may take the others up to another month to get relief. Some women suffer intermittent episodes throughout their pregnancy.


[edit] Causes
There is insufficient evidence to pin down a single (or multiple) cause, but the leading theories include:

An increase in the circulating level of the hormone estrogen. Estrogen levels may increase by up to a hundredfold during pregnancy.
Low blood sugar during pregnancy.
An increase in progesterone relaxes the muscles in the uterus, which prevents early childbirth, but may also relax the stomach and intestines, leading to excess stomach acids.
An increase in human chorionic gonadotropin.
An increase in sensitivity to odors.
Eating vegetables. Vegetables produce a small amount of toxins to deter insect infestation and while these toxins are normally harmless to humans, they are potentially dangerous to embryos. [citation needed] One theory suggests that becoming nauseated during pregnancy is an evolutionary measure to prevent a mother from eating vegetables, thereby protecting the embryo from the toxins. Other studies, however, have linked consumption of fruits and vegetables to higher birth weights, which tend to mean healthier babies[citation needed].
Intake of alcohol, sugar, oils and meat, which have been postulated to cause a natural trigger of morning sickness in the body as a way of discouraging ingestion of less healthy foods.[1]

[edit] Treatments
Treatments for morning sickness typically aim to lessen the symptoms of nausea, rather than attacking the root cause(s) of the nausea. Treatments include:

Avoiding an empty stomach
Eating five or six small meals per day, rather than three large ones
Ginger, in capsules, tea, ginger ale, ginger beer or ginger snaps[2]
Vitamin B6 (either pyridoxine or pyridoxamine), often taken in combination with the antihistamine doxylamine (Diclectin®).
Lemons, particularly the smelling of freshly cut lemons
Fulfilling food cravings
Eating dry crackers in the morning.
A doctor may prescribe anti-nausea medications if the expectant mother suffers from dehydration or malnutrition as a result of her morning sickness. In the US, Zofran (ondansetron) is the usual drug of choice, though the high cost is prohibitive for some women; in the UK, older drugs with which there is a greater experience of use in pregnancy are preferred, with first choice being promethazine otherwise as second choice metoclopramide, or prochlorperazine.[3]
