When did your morning sickness kick in?

[Livvyloo]

Hi all,

just wondering if some of you lovely ladies could share with me when morning sickness started for you.. I'm 5 weeks 3 days today and still haven't had even a hint of morning sickness. I've read that not everyone gets it but I'm also wondering if perhaps it's too early, I'm not sure when it commonly starts for people.

I'm trying not to freak out that I haven't got it yet!!

Thanks :)

3 1/2 weeks for the nausea, by 5 weeks the whole hog. Had one day at 6 weeks with just nausea but aside from that spewed a minimum of 10 times a day until I got some good drugs at hospital at 10 weeks which dropped it to about 5, and am I 14 weeks now and down to one drug a day and haven't actually spewed for 2 days now. I suffer hyperemesis though, so far sicker than general morning sickness. As hard as it is, don't stress too much, try to enjoy it.

BTW, CONGRATULATIONS sweetheart!

With all 3 pregnancies I didn't get one day of morning sickness. Everyone told me I should be grateful but I wished I'd had it so I'd feel pregnant.

I've been reading your other thread and know how worried you are about this pregnancy but everyone's different and try not to compare what's happening to you with other pregnancies. It will just increase your stress. :hugs:

Oh wow, hun that sounds intense!!! You poor thing. A guy I used to work with's wife got that and she had to be in hospital in early pregnancy all the time and on IV drips because she just couldnt keep anything down :( I'm glad that it seems to be subsiding a bit now for you tho.

Oh and thank you for the congratulations. Doesn't feel real - particularly because I feel normal!! I've had 4 BT's already because I keep thinking it can't possibly be happening.

Thanks so much, you're right I am definitely worrying (and FINDING things to worry about) which is stupid, I know logically that it is, but for some reason I can't seem to stop myself. Every day where I don't feel sick I go hmmm.. what if something is wrong.. what if there's really no baby and that's why... I just want to FEEL pregnant.. but right now all I've got is sore boobs intermittantly and weeing overnight a lot. It's so hard not to compare when other women get BFP's and are talking about how sick they feel!!! :( Thanks for your advice :)

dd1 none wat so eva
dd2 none wat so eva
ds i was 3 weeks when it started
this bub i was 6 weeks

[Sonja]

Livvy I've been exactly where you are and it's easy giving the advice from this side of the table. Sore boobs and night weeing are great signs. I obsessed over every detail in all of my pregnancies and it did my head in. I hope you find some way to relax and enjoy the pregnancy..

[hunnybunny]

Firstly, congratulations on your pregnancy!!

I had no morning sickness, in fact I hard hardly any symptoms, all I had were a few twinges and aches, and that was with twins!
Try not to worry yourself too much, easier said than done I know. Some women really have hardly any symptoms, which is totally normal as well.

[Livvyloo]

It just feels like they're not much in the way of symptoms! I mean, for all i know I might be weeing more overnight cos I'm drinking more and it's not even a legit symptom. I feel like I can't believe there's anything even happening in there until I see a scan and there's proof. Right now it feels like I'm having a practical joke played on me!! I really WANT to enjoy being pregnant, I've been waiting for this for soooo long.. but now I'm here I kind of want a really obvious symptom so I can go HAH I am pregnant!!!

[jfblady72]

livvy, ive been pg 3 times in my life and never had morning sickness, never spewed once and almost no symtoms really at all. :)

[happy dance]

Congratulations Livvy, that is awsome news:smiliedance:.

I am 5 weeks and 5 days so pretty much the same as you and have NO symptoms. If it wasnt for my blood results I would have no idea as I feel pretty normal. In fact I think my boobs have shrunk:eek:.

I know it is so hard to relax as I have read your threads and feel very similar to yourself.

From what I have read your levels have been fantasic and I feel it is a good indicator that this pregnancy will continue and you will get to meet your bub in less then eight months time. How exciting. Cnat wait to follow your pregnancy journey!!

Thank you for the congratulations :) :) :) I almost feel scared to accept them because I'm worried something will go wrong but trying to stay positive!
That's amazing hardly any symptoms with TWINS! I had two embies transferred but had ruled out twins already really cos I'm not feeling very symptomatic! Maybe there is still a chance I've got two brewing then ;)

[Livvyloo]

jfblady - thanks for sharing hun! perhaps I'll be like you and never get any... although maybe in two weeks time I'll be wishing I never wished m/s on myself lol only time will tell ;)

happy dance - oh how nice, we're at a really similar stage, you're just two days ahead of me :) nice to know I'm not the only one lacking in symptoms. LOL at your boobs shrinking. Mine are bigger and a bit sore (not as excrutiating as I'd always imagined though) but I'm an a-cup generally so it's not hard for them to increase in size lol. You're right, so far my levels have been good, but sometimes I feel compelled to go in and have them tested again cos I keep thinking i can't poss be pregnant!! Fingers crossed you're right though and my levels do indicate a happy healthy pregnancy to come and I'm just worrying for nothing! :)

[happy dance]

Livvy, it is hard not to worry. My clinic is very supportive and does twice weekly blood test until my scan. My next test is tommorow and I am already in need for reasurrance.

I am sure you will start to feel a little more comfortable after your intial scan, then 12 week scan and then when you start to feel bub move. It really is an amazing experience and I really learnt a lot about my body when I was pregnant with my son.

Your little bub or bubs are there for the long hall...Cant wait to find out how many you are having:)

[Sonja]

Livvy if nothing else this thread has shown the battle to stay positive during IVF doesn't end at a BFP. Welcome to motherhood where the worrying never ends!

Happy dance happy birthday to your baby!

My clinic have said I can come in whenever I want to have a BT at least so if I do feel worried then I can go in and (hopefully) put my mind at rest. :) It's good when they support you like that, I'd hate to feel like I just had no choice but to get no reassurance whatsoever. I'm sure they probably think I'm CRAZY but oh well. Some of the nurses are nicer than others.

I am sure you're right, if my first scan yields good results I have no doubt I'll probably feel a little more confident. I do appreciate the fact that I spent my whole IVF journey worried and wishing I could be pg and now I am I'm STILL worrying and complaining lol but you know.. you just want everything to be okay after coming this far!! I'm sure you know what I mean :)

I can't wait to find out how many we're having either!!

Lol that's so true. I honestly thought as soon as I had a BFP I'd just be too over the moon to feel anything but sheer blissful happiness!! But now I honestly worry just as much as I did before, just about different things. I do have moments of just enjoying the fact that i'm FINALLY pregnant.. but that's tempered with a bit of fear that something will go wrong.. which I desperately hope it won't.

Six weeks for me and continued until 16 weeks

[DonDon]

Oh that's so lovely, I hope you're right!

[angeleish]

Livvy - yet another person here who got no morning sickness at all... never... zip .... nada!!! My boobs never really got sore and took ages to get bigger. I did get the overnight need to pee but that was it. I still felt super normal and just as energetic as usual.

For me it didn't sink in that I was pregnant until I first saw the HB on the screen and even then I didn't get excited until the 12 week scan (by then I had seen the baby 3 times but I just couldn't get excited until 12 weeks).

As for feeling pregnant... well that didn't happen until I could feel the baby move myself. From then on it was just so magical!!

Hang in there. Not many pregnancy symptoms doesn't mean you aren't pregnant.... it just means that you are doing pregnancy "well".

:hugs: Hang in there.... your scan will be here before you know it!!

[blondekelli]

Livvy I so understand what you are going through. My whole pregnancy felt traumatic as I was so scared something was going to go wrong. The first tri I had panic attacks every time i went to have a BT or a scan. It didnt really ease much for me until I held my baby in my arms. What I kept saying to myself though was that my stress and anxiety was not going to affect the outcome. Try not to waste the beauty of your pregnancy by stressing the whole way through it, I really wish I had have enjoyed my pregnancy. By some miracle I am now pregnant naturally, 5w1d, I also have no symptoms what so ever, cant even really believe I am preggers, but regardless of the outcome, I am going to enjoy every day this time xxx

[Livvyloo]

angel - thanks for your reassuring post. It's nice to know that perhaps I'm just not having that many symptoms because my body is "made for" pregnancy lol, I like the way you put it, that I'm just doing it "well" ;) I hope you're right. I honestly think this won't feel real to me until (or unless) I get to the scan and see a HB, and then, like you, hit the twelve week mark and feel like i'm at least a little bit safer. Feeling the baby move, now that would truly be a dream come true. Right now I feel like a fraud, like I'm not even really pregnant. I am hoping and praying that things continue to go well though and my worries are unfounded.

blonde - thanks for your input and advice. I really do want to enjoy this pregnancy and not just be scared the whole time. I am an anxious person by nature but I did think that once I got a BFP I could be a little calmer. I never thought I'd even get one, so being here at all is a dream come true. But now I'm STILL not calm.. I am just so scared something will go wrong. I really hope that I get to the scan without any hiccups and that my baby is in there at a good measurement and with a strong heartbeat, at that point perhaps I'll feel like it's a bit more real.

Livvyloo _ congratulations on being pregnant:smiliedance::smiliedance: Your symptoms sounds great so far. remember too - many fertile folk don't even figure out that they are pregnant for many weeks because its most common to have no symptoms early on.

I had absolutely no sign of nausea til exactly 7 weeks, then by 8 weeks I started vomiting (between week 10-16 on average 15 times a day!!:eek:) and didn't stop until my DD was in my arms (I even vomited all through labour!!) - so be careful what you wish for as they say!!!

Totally understand your anxieties, a side effect of IVF pregnancies unfortunately. I used to try and remind myself that the embryo had done all the right things so far, it had latched on and essentially it is programmed to keep growing and thrive - I did visualisations to help.

Take care Livvyloo and all the best with your pregnancy!:D

[Livvyloo]

Thanks PinkButterfly, maybe I am just a person who the symptoms kick in later for

I have to admit though I'm feeling really anxious today about it all. I know I'm a worrier but it feels REALLY strange that I'm not feeling much of anythig. It's just making me feel like something isn't right :( What you said about how the embryo is now just doing what it's programmed to do did help actually, I need to try and focus on that more and stop worrying about not feeling much of anything but it's really hard.

I can see myself going in for another BT tomorrow, just because I feel like I need some reassurance that something is still happening in there!! :(

[Livvyloo]

Well just a little update from me, true to form, I'm having another panic about the lack of symptoms and have gone in for another BT this morning and should have the results this afternoon.. i'm absolutely petrified something is going to have gone wrong :(

EDIT: just got my BT results from this morning, she said they're in the 19,000's now.. so I guess that's okay. Progesterone has gone up too and is now in the 600's so that's a bit of a relief. Anyhoo, she suggested I stop having BT's.. was a bit narky about it, she's such a kill joy this particular nurse. The one this morning was like, have as many as you like, see you next week!!

[greenapple]

Congrats on the positive!

Don't stress about MS it's an evil cow! I got mine at 7 weeks and at 31 weeks (wednesday) I still have my off days!

Others who are due around the same time as me still haven't had any

I guess it depends on your body!

Good luck and look forward to hearing some more good news :)

[digbyleigh]

I didn't get any m/s until the week of the first scan so probably round week 7 & even then it was only mild & didn't peak until round week 8 then got worse & worse & only really eased off round week 26. I was like you at the start just very sore (.)(.)'s & peeing heaps at night! There all good signs so try to relax if you can your levels are fantastic :)

[Livvyloo]

Digby - thanks for sharing your experience.

I think mine may be starting to kick in but I'm still wondering if it's just in my head or not. Was in Melbourne yesterday and had to catch a cab from airport to the Melbourne school of business. Traffic was bumper to bumper and the cabbie was gunning it and then slamming hard on the breaks the whole way. I was so close to being sick that I actually had thought I was going to have to throw up quietly on the floor in the backseat and hope he didn't realise. I had the stomach cramp, saliva overload extreme nausea that comes with imminent vomitting and it was only sheer will power and the cold air blasting through my open window that kept it at bay. It was a close call. I felt pretty sick for another hour or so after getting out of the cab and then a similar thing happened on the way back to the airport but not quite as close to puking, just extreme nausea. I am a person who gets motion sickness but mainly sea sickness not car sickness, certainly as an adult at any rate. I've not been that close to throwing up in a car in years and years, but then again it could have just been his particularly bad driving?? Not sure if pregnancy heightens motion sickness?? I woke up again feeling a bit sick this morning but breakfast seemed to make it go away.

I'm not sure if any of these things are actual morning sickness though or just coincidences!!
