Miscarriage and Child Loss:No morning sickness - is it a sign of miscarriage?

2003-09-04

Name: xyz Hi,
I'm 7 weeks pregnant but have absolutely no morning sickness at all. I had an ultrasound done in 6 weeks and saw the baby's heart beat which was a positive thing.
But most of the websites and my friends say that it is a negative sign not to have morning sickness. It is my first pregnancy and so I'm overly concerned about this. Please help me!!!
Thanks in advance.

Sonali J. Hudar replied. Hi!
I had the self same symptoms as you. I had no morning sickness at all and I had a sonography in the sixth week where the baby was found normal.
Subsequently, I went for the next sonography only in the 14th week and we found out that the baby had stopped growing and its heart had stopped beating in the 7th week itself. It was a shock because I had been going for regular checkups and the doctor was not able to detect anything wrong.
My suggestion is that you ensure that your doctor checks the baby's heartbeat everytime you go for a check-up. They can do this with a machine that magnifies the sounds in your lower abdomen. It is not necessary to take a sonography everytime. Insist that the dooctor check your baby's heartbeat everytime you go for a checkup.
I wish you luck and hope you have a happy, healthy beby. I hope you don't have to go through what I wnet through.
Take care. Stay healthy. Eat well and try not to worry too much. megha replied. Hi Again,
Since this is your first pregnancy i would like to suggest a few things for the first 20 weeks (as told by elders):
- Don't lift anything even slightly heavy that you think puts pressure on your tummy.
- Don't stress yourself out on any simple work too ..even climbing stairs
-Don't stay out a lot in the sun.
- Try not to travel a lot (even in the car)
-Talk to your doctor if you are getting any white-pinkish discharge
People may tell you to be cool..and that nothing happens by doing this or that but don't take any chances.
Megha replied. Hi xyz,
I don't think you should worry at all specially since you already saw your baby's heartbeat..having morning sickness is not necessarily a negetive sign..I have heard of many women who don't have morning sickness and give birth to healthy babies.
I myself had morning sickness and inspite of that lost my baby in the 9th week.
You can anyway talk to your doctor about this and ask her if your HCG count,etc is normal (form your blood test report).
Take care and leave the rest to god.
I will pray for you too.

No worries

Hi xyz,
Pls do not worry coz I am expecting as you are .I have tons of friends who are due this year.Please do not let the fact that you do not have morning sickness cause you concern.I have friends who are carrying but have no symptoms sickness.They gave birth normally.It all depends on your body structure & composition etc.All the negative thinking does not help.Experiences may vary from person to person but like I said I have had friends who gave birth normally even though they never had any morning sickness.So put a bright smile up & let the sunshine again.Take care of yourself & keep your attitude positive.Check with the Doctor & if he says things are fine then they ought to be.All the best!!

Was your HCG count low too?

Dear Megha,
I read your reply to someone's message. I lost my baby in the 7th week though it was detected only in the 14th week. Did you also have a low HCG count? Mine was low but the doctors say that could be only one of the million reasons why I could have lost the baby. Were you ever on contraceptive pills before your pregnancy? Some friends think its because of the pills that I lost my baby. I'm just trying to find out what went wrong so I can take more care whenever next I get pregnant. If it's not too emotionally taxing, will you send me an answer?

RE:Coping With a Miscarriage

Infertility is a very hard thing to hit a woman. I can't imagine what it must be like. My sister went through it. She was told that she was infertile by her doctor. Her husband was a doctor too, but besides all the knowledge they could do nothing. Then they tried going for IVF. At first they were resistant, they were double minded. But then my sister went to various fertil... - Lillian [View Message]
