no morning sickness, low hormones?
Michelle
I'm sure this question has been posted before, but I am "new" and
haven't seen it. I'm almost 6 weeks pregnant and have no nausea at
all. Not even a little bit. My friend is also pregnant and is very
sick (she is about 7 weeks). She has had morning sickness for several
weeks. Anyway, her doctor told her that the more nauseous you are the
better. He said that it means the egg made a strong implantation. He
said if you are not nauseous, it could mean your body is not producing
enough pregnancy hormone, or you could have a weak implantation, thus
leading to miscarriage. According to my friend, the doctor made it
sound like very few women escape nausea. And if you do escape the
nausea, you may be headed for miscarriage. I have miscarried once
back in february, (at 5 weeks), so I am a bit nervous.
Does anyone else believe that no nausea means a weak implantation?

nausea or morning sickness at all, am quite fertile and have no history of
miscarriages. It could be that my hormone levels were/are low, I don't
know, but it hasn't caused any implantation problems for me. I hope that
helps put your mind at rest...there is so much to look forward to!

No. The converse may be true (weak implantation implies
no nausea), but that in no way means that no nausea implies
weak implantation. Many women have little or no morning sickness
and have perfect pregnancies. I only had a little myself (no
throwing up--just felt green around the gills every now and
again). I think people just tell women who have bad nausea
that it means the baby is thriving in order to make them feel better
about feeling miserable ;-) I know telling a pregnant woman
not to worry is practically useless, but try to relax a little
bit. Odds are that everything is just fine and you're either
lucky or about to be hit with *really* wicked nausea yourself ;-)
Take care,

the time I would have missed my second period, so after 8 or 9 weeks.
With my second, due any time now, I had no morning sickness at all, and
I am most certainly pregnant!
I have never heard a doctor say that a lack of nausea meant anything.
Each pregnancy is different. You may get nausea, but a bit later, or
you may escape. If you do, don't doubt your pregnancy, but count your blessings!
mb
last time, I didn't have any nausea, and like you, having suffered a
miscarriage once I panicked and got tested. Lo and behold it was low
pregesterone, so I went on supplements until 12 weeks.
Get your numbers checked via bloodtest if you are worried, its a simple
thing and who knows, it may be an issue for you. The placenta doesn't start
producing progesterone until about 12-14 weeks.
That whole implantation strength theory sounds spurious to me, I've never
heard of it like that. Maybe he was dumbing down some thing or other? Get
the data then have peace of mind and be happy that this time, maybe you've
escaped nausea, course you could get it in 3rd tri like my poor gf!

I had very little nausea during my pregancy, and none at all at
6 weeks. (Consider that, until quite recently, most women wouldn't even
have suspected they were pregnant at 6 weeks, and even today, plenty
of women don't know that soon. If everyone had morning sickness,
there would be no question, now would there?)

I'm just a few days ahead of you, at 6 weeks and 3 days, and so far I've got no
morning sickness at all. I keep waiting for it to hit me. As far as anyone
can tell, everything is fine. I had my progesterone checked a couple of weeks
ago, and though nobody told me the exact numbers, they said everything was
fine; plus my breasts are swollen and tender, which is probably the
progesterone. My hCG levels doubled nicely early on, like they're supposed to,
and I had an u/s on Monday, and everything looked fine. Maybe we're just lucky
enough not to have m/s (my mom said she didn't either, so hopefully I inherited
that), or maybe it'll hit pretty soon. I'm sure all is fine though. :)

Complete BS. Up to a third of women have no significant nausea. My mother had
hardly any morning sickness in her seven pregnancies, and she never had a
single miscarriage (unless it was so early that she thought it was a late
period). At least twice she didn't know she was pregnant for a couple of
months.

What does that mean? Women who wake up out of the blue fresh and free of
all the normal symptoms of a pregnancy are suddenly at risk for miscarriage?
The only red flag I see as a sure sign of a threatened miscarriage is
bleeding accompanied with lower abdominal cramping and/or low backache.

I have had 3 m/c in the last year and a half. The first two followed
my usual barfy-feeling pregnant self and then I woke up one morning
and nada. No nausea, boobs no longer painful and swollen, nothing.
Followed a day or two later by cramping and bleeding. :o( The last one
was pretty insignificant in symptoms and they never got stronger, only
weaker, until they died away with the embryo.
Helen is correct - it's a major red flag if you are having symptoms
and the SUDDENLY, they're gone. It doesn't mean that the baby is gone
but it's something to never ignore and you should always call your
care provider if this happens.
It's the one that that has me creeped out about this pregnancy. No
nausea, almost 7 weeks along, and just major boob pain and swelling

that only 30% of pregnant womyn get morning sickness. I'm 1/2 way
through my 10th pregnancy and I have only had mild (very mild) nausea
from about 8-11 weeks with my twins (8th pregnancy) a bit stronger
nausea and earlier with my next pregnancy which I miscarried at 8
weeks, and mayby a week of mild nausea with this pregnancy. With the
rest I have had absolutely nothing. I put my nausea in these last
pregnancies down to not eating regularly and being tired rather than
weak hormones, in fact the only baby I lost I had the strongest amount
of sickness.

Interesting. I've never heard anyone tell the midwife or have I been
instructed by the midwife to let her know if symptoms suddenly stop (as her
assistant who takes patient info or as a patient myself). I have been one
of those people who suddenly wake up feeling great one morning and stay that
way (four babies) and been sick as a dog right 'til the end (miscarriage).
I'll be asking about it, because as it stands now, the red flags I have been
advised of are bleeding, abdominal pain/cramping, and low back pain.
Maybe a YMMV thing? I would hate that women who are feeling just fine and
don't have any complaints or are suddenly feeling better (with whatever
nagging symptom they present) should be on guard for miscarriage. Make
sense?

I remember with Charlotte I felt awful (like usual) then *one day* nothing,
I felt fantastic. So I did call the Dr who laughed and said enjoy it. Sure
enough the next day I felt like crap again. Honestly I always *assumed*
bleeding and cramping were the *bad* signs. It doesn't necessarily mean you
*will* have a miscarriage. But since I've never had bleeding, I've never
worried.

I've never had morning sickness, in my full-term pregnancies or 10-week

This is "sick implies safe" which is very different from "safe implies sick".
All I've noticed so far is lots of people saying that they weren't sick
and were safe: from which we conclude that "A safe pregnancy is a sick
pregnancy" is a bunch of rubbish, which should reassure the OP.
But just for interest, and in case it does give some consolation to people
who are very sick, *is* "a sick pregnancy is a safe pregnancy" rubbish?
That is, is it rubbish to say that sickness is a positive sign of good
implantation (even while admitting that you can have good implantation with
no sickness)?

I think we're all saying it doesn't matter either way. Being very sick or
not sick at all simply doesn't mean anything. Either *condition* (for lack
of a better word) doesn't mean everything's fine but it also doesn't mean
you'll have a miscarriage. Every woman and every pregnancy is so different
that there just can't be a *rule* about what morning sickness (or lack of
it) means.
Make sense?
Sidheag
I looked around on the web but didn't find anything terribly conclusive.
I did find several places that said it had been suggested that hyperemesis
(very severe MS) had been associated with lower miscarriage rates, though,
so I didn't dream that. I don't know whether it's been proven though.
(I'm hesitant about even saying this as all I found was one study and
people sometimes take single studies as absolute truth and panic, so
please don't assume this is right or is of more than theoretical
interest even if it is. One study suggested, tentatively, that
hyperemesis was associated with a slightly increased risk (5.8%
instead of 5%) of congenital malformations e.g. Down's syndrome. They
hypothesised that this might be because fetuses with DS were surviving
whereas they might otherwise have been miscarried. However, even this
small difference was clearly not something they considered
conclusively proven: the authors said "However, in order to be able to
determine the significance of this finding, a much larger population
number would be required." See http://www.nvp-volumes.org/p1_6.htm for
details but only if you're happy with statistics and won't panic!)

Well, it is true, to some extent. Lots of nausea does mean you have
lots of hormones. But no nausea doesn't mean you don't have lots of
hormones. Make sense?

Right. It could mean that. But it doesn't necessarily. In fact, I'll
go out on a limb and say MOST of the time, a lack of MS means only
that you are a lucky woman! Most miscarriages occur in the first two
weeks after fertilization, before the woman even misses a period,
before most people would even experience morning sickness anyway. The
fact that you've made it to 6 weeks, means you'll probably not have a
miscarriage (though it's not impossible), and the risk of miscarriage
drops even farther after 12 weeks.
> According to my friend, the doctor made it
> sound like very few women escape nausea. And if you do escape the

According to Dr. Sears in the Pregnancy Book, about 80% of women have
some form of morning sickness. My mother never had morning sickness
with any of her kids-she had 3, and she NEVER had a miscarriage (that
she was aware of). My grandmother did have a miscarriage (but had 3
healthy babies), and she never did have MS, either. My mom's sister
had terrible morning sickness, and she also had one miscarriage (but
had two healthy kids). So, even in one family, there doesn't seem to
be any correlation. But that's anecdotal.
> I have miscarried once
> back in february, (at 5 weeks), so I am a bit nervous.
> Does anyone else believe that no nausea means a weak implantation?
I understand your nervousness. However, I've made it to 17 weeks with
no morning sickness or miscarriage (just heard the heartbeat again a
couple of days ago, and it sounds strong and fast). I suppose I could
still have a miscarriage, but lets hope not!
No nausea can mean weak inplantation, but likely as not doesn't mean
that.
Good luck!

I believe that nausea means good hormone levels, but it does not follow
that no nausea means bad hormone levels. I had no morning sickness and

the myth that morning sickness was 'good' for pregnancy is just that a myth
recent analysis of research data showed that there is no relationship
between miscarriage and morning sickness once age of mother is
controlled. Apparently older women have more miscarriages and less
morning sickness and younger women have more morning sickness and fewer
miscarriages -- once age is controlled there is no relationship.
lots of people have no morning sickness and perfectly healthy pregnancies
[me for example and my mother] others have morning sickness and
miscarriages [and of course the opposite is true as well]
if you dn't have morning sickness be thankful not worried.

related to the baby's gender, also. I *think* (don't quote me on this :->)
that lots of morning sickness is correlated with having a boy and not a lot is
correlated with having a girl. Does anyone know anything about that? FWIW, I
had a friend who was pregnant at the time, had almost no m.s. at all and had a
girl.
I remember being really fascinated at the time, but now that I'm pregnant, I
realize that's it's not terribly helpful, since it's my first pregnancy I don't
have any personal basis of comparison for what's a lot and what's a little.

I don't think this is true. I had actually heard the opposite myth,
that if you are sick a lot it's because you're having a girl and
she's stealing your looks. But among my mom, sisters, college

morning sickness and gender of the baby.

What I know is that there are OTHER reasons for having or not having
morning sickness other than hromone level. A study several years
ago found that women who have no or almost no saturated fats in her
diet were much less likely to have morning sickness than women who
whose diets were high in saturated fats prior to pregnancy.
IIRC, a women who had the equivalent of 1 big mack worth of sat
fat per day was 10x more likely to have morning sickness than a
woman with no sat fat.
