Lack of morning sickness

[Jojo]

Hi tutor1,

Congratulations to you too! It looks as if we are due around the same time.

Actually I had my first ultra sound at 6 weeks which is when we saw two distinct 'entities' there. But it was too early to detect heartbeats and I have my 8 week appointment with the doctor next week so my husband and I are very excited about getting to hear the hearts beat and also to be assured that both foetuses are still there (have read literature about such phenomenon as the 'vanishing twin'). I guess since I was on fertility treatments and we had the IUI done, I was very prompt in determining my pregancy and the nurse just scheduled me in for a quick check up. I believe most doctors only see their patients for the first time at 8 weeks.

Good Luck!

You ladies are so lucky!! I had morning sickness for 10 weeks (9 weeks to 19 weeks) - no actual throwing up, just nausea feeling - sometimes morning, sometimes afternoon, sometimes evening, sometimes all day ..... I got used to eating whilst feeling sick (a strange concept!) as I was concerned about putting on enough weight! I had about 4 days during that 10 weeks when I didn't have sickness, those days I got paranoid that something was wrong with the babies! hahahahahahhaa

Hi Jojo,

I'm also expecting twins around the same time - I'm 8 weeks tomorrow. I also had a miscarriage before this pregnancy and I know it's very difficult not to worry - but you have every chance that this pregnancy will go well. While I do have bad "day" sickness I know everybody is different. Yours might kick in later or never.

I was first told that my twins might be sharing an amniotic sac which made me an absolute wreck but now it looks like they have their own. I was so worried I almost got sick but I know this - you can't change what will be by worrying. You just need think positively and stay healthy. That's the best thing you can do for yourself and your babies. Hope it all goes well.

Good Luck!

Hi Jojo, Congrats! I'm in the same boat, except that I had a baby in Feb this year and was HORRIBLY sick with her - non-stop nausea and throwing up for 5 months, plus a hospitalisation with 'hyperemesis gravidarum' (the techincial term for the most severe form of morning sickness), because I'd lost so much liquid. Anyhow, I've just found out I'm expecting twins in June next year (not a planned pregnancy!) and no morning sickness! Go figure. I'm a bit concerned too, but VERY thankful that I'm not constantly throwing up.
