OK, so, I'm driving myself insane. Maybe you lovely gals can help me chill out a little bit! :wink
As of today, I am 5 weeks, 5 days. No morning sickness. I just don't really 'feel' pregnant. It might help if I throw in a bit more background. With all of my successful pregnancies, I have had atrocious morning sickness very early on. With my last successful pregnancy, I was coerced into being induced and having an epidural. I ended up with nerve damage in my back and gained a lot of weight. I spent 4 years with no ovulation (No monthlys at all). I thought I was broken for sure. At the beginning of this year, I decided to work on getting healthy again. I dropped 70# through diet and exercise and joy of joys, I started to ovulate again and have normal cycles. We decided to ttc in August, got lucky on the first shot, and then miscarried at 6 weeks due to a severe allergic reaction to some pool cleaning chemicals I was accidentally exposed to before I knew I was pregnant. I ended up depressed and gained 20# back before conceiving the little pumpkin seed I'm carrying now. So now I'm paranoid. In August/September, I had no morning sickness and only a slightly sore chest. No other symptoms. This time, I have a slightly sore chest, still no morning sickness, and maybe a little more tiredness. Dh keeps telling me not to worry... last time the lines on each subsequent test got lighter, this time each test has been as dark as could be. And I've read tons of stuff about how some women don't get sick at all, and some get it at different times, etc, etc. I've also read that morning sickness is a good sign of a healthy pregnancy though. I know each pregnancy is different and I shouldn't let it worry me so much, but is it so wrong of me to want to join the sickie circle for a little peace of mind? :irked: I keep wondering if maybe the weight gain has thrown off my hormones enough to where I won't get morning sickness. Or maybe I'm just jumping the gun and will wake up nauseous beyond all reason tomorrow. Dh says I'm a nut for feeling jealous of anyone who complains of morning sickness. :o How am I going to make it through 6.5 more weeks of waiting to see a midwife if I keep driving myself nuts like this?? :lol
