Second pregnancy - not sick yet

Hi Team HG,

Last time, I vomited 3-8 times a day from the day I found out I was pregnant to the day I gave birth: it was horrific.

… I’m now just over 5 weeks pregnant and haven’t been sick yet. I know I should be overjoyed but it’s making me feel like I’m not even pregnant or that there is something wrong…

I know it’s not logical. But has anyone else been through similar? Were there any things you did to help the anxiety?

(Disclaimer: if you’re reading this and sick at the moment, feel free to hate my guts - I feel ya sista)

I'm the same! 4 weeks here & I feel like I'm just sat waiting to get sick so I'm trying to enjoy every bit of food, every sip of water.. kind of like being on holiday and knowing you go back in a few days!!
I had HG really bad with my 1st and I remember just waking up one morning around 8 weeks so sick!
Sorry I know you were probably hoping for a bit more of a supportive response!! But I'm in the same boat!

Every pregnancy is different! I really hope it stays like this for you 🤞🤞

I just took three more pregnancy tests just to try to make it more real. Shock: I’m still definitely pregnant, just £20 poorer.

First pregnancy I was sick from 7/8 weeks all the time, and second it was from 6 weeks 🫣

HG for me was so much worse the second time around. I was fine and felt normal so was hopeful, but the day I turned 6 weeks it came full force. Fingers crossed for you it isn’t that way. Sounds positive! X

Fingers crossed it’ll be a much better pregnancy. For me it kicked in around week 7 and was pretty horrendous the second time, but it’s a 50/50 chance I think. Wishing you the best!

My first pregnancy (2021) I was horribly sick from the day I find out until the 9th month. Currently 5 weeks pregnant and I don’t feel nauseous at all. Only felt nauseous one - two days. I am also freaking out that maybe something is wrong, tomorrow will get my second pregnancy test. So I completely understand your worry. But I am the same way. I still have other symptoms like sore breasts, food aversion, no period but keep wondering at what point I will feel nauseated?
