    I'm sorry but I have another question. God bless you people who keep helping me!!! I had horrible morning sickness with all of my pregnancies, even my 13 week loss. I am nauseaous and I have dry heaved a few times but honestly, this is a walk in the park!!! Does this mean something is wrong or did your morning sickness vary from baby to baby? I know it is waaaay worse with multiples, I am comparing it more from a singleton to a singleton. Thanks again!

    I've only been pregnant once, so I can't compare pregnancies, but I didn't have any morning sickness, just nauseated if I didn't eat regularly and few smells bothered me and my babies were fine. I'd say enjoy it!

    I was never sick with my singleton or my twins. I was incredibily sick with my second pregnancy, which I lost at 10 weeks.

    Try to relax and not compare your pregnancies!!! :hug: I was nauseaous, a lot, with my singleton pregnancy and certain smells really affected me, but that was it (saltine crackers were my best friend!). The only issue I had with my twin pregnancy was my size as the pregnancy progressed!!

    We had a hard time getting pregnant with my daughter. I remember being around 10 weeks and one of the two co-workers that I shared the news of my pregnancy with asked if I was having any morning sickness. She then shared that having morning sickness is a sure sign of a healthy pregnancy. That is sooooooooooooo not true, and I have three beautiful children to prove it! :)

    If you're not as sick as you have been with other pregnancies, just be thankful and enjoy the pregnancy!!

    It does vary. I had it bad with my 1st and with the boys. With my last pregnancy I had a little nausea and a few times of getting sick and then nothing. The change was so abrupt that I though I had lost him, but nope. Just a different experience. Hang in there and try not to worry about it. It is probably just that your body knows what's going on.

    With all 3 of my older boys I was sick sick,sick!!! Oh I thought I may die, it was just awful!! With the twins I was sick for a few days and had no clue how I would survive then everyone in the house started to throw up and we realized it was a virus! After that I had nothing except my LOVE for Mexican food turned to HATE LOL!!! With this baby, I had some food aversions and a need to stay full but it was easy! I just knew this baby was a girl because it was really not much different than with the twins but NOPE he is a boy! I think it is just luck of the draw!

    CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!

    I think every pregnancy is different. With the first I was sick until around 22 weeks and with this one I started feeling better around 16. :good:

    I only know the one pregnancy. But, I was ONLY sick when I did not eat or got too tired.

    I was horribly sick with the twins. I was on anti nausea meds the entire pregnancy or I would just get miserably sick. With my singleton, I was a little quezy a few times, but never got sick.

    I was nauseated a lot with the twins, but didn't often actually get sick. I got sick quite a bit in the early months with DS1, but oh my goodness, was I ever sick--for 6 months--with DS2. I thought I'd never have another day where I didn't throw up. Compared to that pregnancy, my twin pregnancy was so easy in terms of morning sickness.

    I was much worse with my girls than my boys. With one of my boys I only threw up 2 or 3 times total, though I felt somewhat nauseated for months. My other boys were somewhat worse, but nothing like the constant running to the bathroom with all my girls. I was quite sick with one of my miscarriages, which totally stopped all of a sudden and it probably did coincide with when the baby died (I found out at 14 weeks, and the baby measured 12 weeks, which was about the time I stopped being sick). My other miscarriage was so early (only 5-6 weeks) I didn't really have time to be too sick. With my oldest (worse MS), my DH didn't really believe how sick I was at first. His mom and all his sisters had no MS at all. He did come to realize that I wasn't just making myself puke 5 times/day, and it wasn't just in my head. I had a friend who was sick as a dog for her girls and not sick at all for her boys. And another friend who's had to be hospitalized everytime she gets pregnant, because the MS is so bad for her. I think it just varies, both from person to person and baby to baby. It does seem to me (very unscientific poll of women I know), that if you are someone who gets MS, it tends to be worse with girls. I have no idea why. So my guess is that you're going to have a nice healthy boy!

    I've had the worst morning sickness this pregnancy than I did with either my oldest son or twins. This baby had better be nice about my nursing home because he or she owes me for the amount of time I've been doing zen breathing trying not to puke. For the other two, the m/s varied with the twins being worse than DS but still not all that bad.

    I was sick at least once a day with the twins from 8 weeks until 17 weeks and had nausea starting at 5 weeks. With this singleton (a girl). I had about a month of nausea (8 weeks to 12 weeks) and was sick twice. That was it. I am now 23 weeks, and hardly feel pregnant compared to how I felt at this point with my twins. In my experience, so far, one is much easier.
