Anyone else NOT feel sick?

[Nature]

Its not really abnormal for me, as I didn't get actual "morning sickness" with any of my girls, more like "green days." Still sometimes it makes me worry because I'm not barfing like all my fellow pregnant mamas. :o

My breasts aren't too sore really, once in awhile shooting pain on the sides but nothing else. I'm getting groin cramps, and some hip pain. And crying at silly Noggin shows. :lol And I am a bit more dizzy, tired and hungry than normal.

Honestly though, if it wasn't for the test I wouldn't even suspect I was pregnant. Coffee still tastes fine to me, and other peoples smoke doesn't turn my stomach yet.. all things that normally happen for me.

Am I alone in my missing symptoms? And am I insane for wishing I had them as reassurance? :lol

I'm not sick yet either! I had a couple days where I felt a little iffy after I ate, but nothing other than that. My breasts are slightly sore (but I only notice if I poke at them), and I feel more tired than usual and dizzy. Other than that, tho, I feel fine! Coffee turned my stomach with my 1st, but I am still drinking small amounts as of right now (which is bad, I know, I should stop). You are not alone!

[Jezzy]

I am not feeling much either. My breasts were very sore but now that isn't so bad anymore. I am not throwing up although I *think* that I am feeling like I am going to throw up, (may be my imagination). I feel dizzy once in a while, the only thing that is different is that I am VERY tired. I could sleep the day and night away. :o

I'm not sick either. With my first pregnancy, I was sooo sick from week 8 to week 16. I'm due 2/2, so maybe it just hasn't hit yet. I did spend 3 days of last week with that "yucky tummy" feeling (can only be compared to "hangover stomach), but now I feel fine. I'm more absent-minded, tired, bloated, and hungry than normal, but that's about it. And my boobs are HUGE already.

[loraxc]

M/s is very mild for me so far. Last pg it was horrendous. This time, I'm dying of hunger all the time.

[LawrenceDoula]

I don't really feel sick yet either. I only had occasional days of nausea with my last pregnancy but we all know each time is different.

[sparkle&shine]

My only symptom was the BFP. I have had an acidy stomach feeling and feel a bit nauseous in the afternoon but not enough to make me feel sick. I swear I feel like AF is coming with all these cramps and things.

I am feeling practically normal! I was the same with DS though.

[Georgina1712]

I dont feel the slightest bit sick yet but my boobs are very tender ( i cant understand why they need to grow more they are big enough ) . Never had it on previous 4 pregnancies - why this one........

[noordinaryspider]

Count me in.

I have no morning sickness at all and I'm a bundle of energy other than a few days where I just slept a lot, but didn't have that bone-hurting exhaustion that is normal for m in the first trimester. The cofeee and cigarette thing is the absolute worst! It's my most reliable pregnancy symptom and I usually can't stand either long before a pregnancy test can detect anything. I remember how miserable I was trying to gag down that coffee when I didn't want exy to figure out I was pregnant with ds quite yet because not drinking it would have been so obvious to him or anyone else who knew me. This kid couldn't care less! The day I tested positive I felt kind of sad turning down a cup of coffee because it smelled so yummy and thinking about maybe picking up something special for as soon as :af got here. Then I walked past a smoker right outside the door of the drugstore to get the taste and lo and behold, his cigarette smelled really nice! I'm a former heavy smoker, so I can be that way, but NEVER when I'm pregnant!

In comparison, with Phoenix all I could do at this point was sleep and literally crawl up a flight of stairs to the bathroom and puke. I lost 20 lbs by the 12th week and it took the rest of my pregnancy to gain it back. I weighed as much the day before she was born as I did the day she was conceived.

It was a bit better for my surviving kids, but not much. This pregnancy is completely different! My breasts are painful, but it's more like "phantom let-down" sort of like phantom pains that amputees feel in limbs that aren't really there. They're also enormous, so I had to get all new shirts (thank goodness for the styles! I actually have trendy, cute tops that I got in the Junior department, size extra large, and they may well last me through the whole pregnancy) and my tummy is a bit bloated so I'm more comfortable in yoga pants and my cute new maternity jeans, but I could probably squeeze into my normal jeans if I had to since they're pretty low rise. I'm also sweating more than normal and my sweat smells more than normal. It's not an unpleasant smell to me, but I worry about what other people might think. I'm not going to start using aluminum antiperspirant because if you knew my family, you'd understand why I think that's why so many of us get alzheimer's and it's not really genetic at all. I may have to do something about the small prety soon, though, even if it's just washing my pits every single time I pee.

And that's another thing: peeing! It was unbelievable how much I had to pee long before my pee could make any test turn positive. I remember one time I was out and about with my Mom and I don't know what she thought I was doing in the public bathrooms every time she turned around, but she must have suspected some sort of drug because one time after a discrete pit stop she started screaming at me for "Not caring about anything except your own pleasure!"

Huh? Since when is peeing fun?

My bladder never quite recovered from my three liveborn pregnancies. I don't have to wear pads any more, but I do normally pee at least every hour (very bad pain if I don't) and more if I'm hydrated enough to be healthy. I do have to limit my activities because of this. When I was deciding whether or not to go through with TTC again, I kind of had to accept the fact that one more might just put me in Depends, at least during the pregnancy, and work through my disgust and embarassmnt at the prospect until I was okay with it and realized that a baby was FAR more important than any of my silly old toilet training traumas.

I don't notice any increase in frequency at all. Since my body is craving water now that I'm pregnant, if anything, I'm peeing less.

I have literally never gotten a bfn with this pregnancy (I started tsting at 10dpo with a digital) but I've gone through just as many pee sticks as I have for all my other TTC cycles because it's just so reassuring to me to see that second line, which is now darker than the control line. Unfortunately, if I think about it TOO much, I know it's not normal for them to be QUITE so positive and I worry about multiples, something I do NOT want as a single mama planning her first UC!:lol :lol

[Nature]

Well I'm glad I'm not alone! :)

I guess they're going to go by my second period date instead of the first, at least until they officially date the pregnancy.. so right now my chart says I'm due 2/12/07. A whole 10 days later. Sooo.. that could have a lot to do with my missing symptoms. I'm actually really surprised that I tested positive last week, considering I'm only 4 weeks now! This is by far the earliest I have known.

I think symptoms usually kick in around 5-6 weeks, so maybe I'll still get sick yet. :lol

[LawrenceDoula]

I thought the sweating thing was just me, so I'm relieved to hear it isn't. I don't remember this from the first time, but I probably used regular anti-perspirant back then.

[noordinaryspider]

My last pregnancy was sixteen years ago and I don't remember the sweating at all, even though that doesn't mean it didn't happen. I'm off of work for a little while (the quadriplegic lady I take care of is in the hospital) but I really am going to have to come up with some sort of an alternative to Mitchum and dementia soon. I bathe every day and wash pits in between.

I'm not normally a particularly sweaty person and since I started perimenopause (yes, I'm pregnant AND perimenopausal; I'm 42 already) I've kind of dried out to the point that when I'm unpregnant I do fine on once-a-week no pooing, twice a week bathing, and essentially NO "products" to alter natural body smells and appearance.

Some of the mamas here use coconut oil on their pits after a bath followed by baking soda, so I think I'm going to give that a try. I also used a deoderant stone when my big kids were little kids (can't remember if I used it during my pregnancy with ds or not) which worked pretty well on me and also on xdh stench, which was kind of bad since he was physically active and had a horrible diet and also used street drugs.

[flapjack]

nos, there's an alternative deo available over here called Trust, which is fantastic. It's worth keeping your eyes open for.
I'm 6 + 2 today, and the nausea kicked in with a vengeance at 8.30pm yesterday. I just want the world to go away and let me sleep in peace, whilst vomiting (or vice versa.)

[mom3b1?]

Not sick here!

M/s is very mild for me so far. Last pg it was horrendous. This time, I'm dying of hunger all the time.

I am absolutely STARVING too, interspersed with bouts of nausea. :p

[Mama2-4]

I have felt more "drained" during the afternoon and evening. No vomiting yet, but more a queezy stomach feeling. I am sure within the next 2 weeks I will be puking!

[StrawberryFields]

I am not feeling sick. With my ds by this week I was rolling around on the bathroom floor several times a day begging God for mercy, and heaving my brains out each day when I brushed my teeth. God, I was so sick, I felt like I was barely hanging on. I could barely work and I lost a lot of weight. This pregnancy--nothing! I have felt a little queasy in the morning twice, I'm super thirsty and by late afternoon I need a cat nap--but nothing that screams PREGNANT! Mostly I feel normal and I'm not sure I would guess I was preggo if I didn't have a positive test.

Each morning I wake up and my first thought is full of fear: "Do I feel sick? Is today the day? Will I start getting sick again today?" I'm terrified, I don't know how I would manage going through that again, but this time with an 18 month old son, and my daycare kids: a 23 month old and a 7 month old. But at the same time it's all I know so feeling so good has me worried about the viability of this pregnancy.

I didn't have fatigue with ds and I didn't have breast tenderness last time or this time.

[noordinaryspider]

I don't just feel unsick, I feel effing FANTASTIC! I'm physically stronger than ever and I feel like I can handle any challenge life throws at me and I'm so excited about everything I have the opportunity to do and experience and enoy. I love life so much!

[Miss Blue]

I don't feel sick and I am wondering why not? I had hyperemesis last time and I was filled with fear about having another baby because I am so afraid of it happening again. I start week 7 tomorrow and am wondering all the time when it is going to kick in, and trying not to worry about it. I am SO thankful to be feeling good and I am trying to live each day with joy for the blessings that I have at the moment.

I have heard of the mythical women who had non-nauseated pregnancies--very glad to have joined your ranks!

[JJJJBlue3333]

I'm not sick either. It's so strange b/c I was horribly sick with both of my boys. I've been taking extra b6 and since pregnant milk thistle and wild yam root. I'm not sure if that's what working or what but I'm keeping my fingers crossed. It is strange though. I could easily forget I'm pregnant except I'm thirsty alot.

[Nature]

Oh! OH! OH!! Guess what happened this morning?!? I was brushing my teeth, and I gagged! I dry heaved! Whoohoo! :lol Finally something reassuring!

[naturallia]

ITU on how reassuring getting sick can be. So far, I haven't felt sick yet.
