I've been pregnant twice, but I've never had what is traditionally called morning sickness. Sure, there were times throughout the day when I felt icky. Never morning sickness, though. How about you?

My morning sickness was terrible altho i dont know how they can call it morning sickness, i was throwing up morning evening and night on some days, i suffered all through the pregnancy, i think i had maybe 7 days at the most where i was not sick at all. i gave up work in the end as it was ridiculious.

I had morning sickness a few times during my pregnancy. I would feel sick for a little bit in the mornings sometimes but wouldn't always throw up. I think I threw up maybe 5 times while I was pregnant.

For both of my pregnancies I too have not had morning sickness. It was great. I still get people calling me names(jokingly) because I didn't get it.

With my first pregnancy I was sick in the evenings not morning. It wasn't bad though. With my second pregnancy I was barely sick at all. With this pregnancy I was sick the first 4 months lol. Though when I say sick, i just felt really sick to my stomach. I only threw up twice during first pregnancy, none during second, and once with this one.

I've only been pregnant once but I was lucky enough to not experience morning sickness. I'm convinced that I paid for it in the end though because I developed preeclampsia and went through h*ll so it's not like I lucked out.

This is my third pregnancy and this one was the worst when it comes to morning sickness! I was sick up until the fifth month. Whereas the other two I was done being sick by the end of the third month.

I was definitely not as lucky as you. I had morning sickness all day long throughout my entire pregnancy, except months 6-8. I worked in a barbershop that was right next to a foodcourt, and I could never actually make it all the way to work without stopping to be sick.

I had morning sickness through out my WHOLE entire pregnancy..I dont even know why they only call it mornning sickness because I had it morning,noon and night, it was horrible :( I hardly ever left my house and when I did I brang a shoprite bag with me everywhere I went because I was constantly throwing up. I had a really bad pregnancy because I was always sick and too tired to get out of bed most of the time..when I say it was horrible..IT WAS HORRIBLE..but when I actually went into labor it was a breeze for me...everything went smooth for me.,Funny how things turn out in the end

I am 2 months pregnant right now and ive had it badly. At first i just felt sick once in a while. And then it turned into all day long and then actually getting sick. It was horrible! So you are very lucky. I still have it a little but not quite as often as i had it before.

I have been pregnant twice and I have never had morning sickness....we must have been the lucky ones, LOL. KNOCK ON WOOD!!!!!!!! No...really....With my first I never puked at all and with my second, I puked once and that was only becuase I felt guilty about stuffing a bolonga sandwich down my throat as fast as I could so I ended up getting sick, LOL. But thats all...no morning sickness!

hi, You are among the lucky ones not to have the morning sickness. Unfortunately, I was in the other group. For teh first three and a half months, I used to vomit almost everything that I ate.. I never used to like the food smell of our office canteen, adn thus skipped lunch, which is not a good thing to do.. I ended up in eating some candies to get energy to sit up and stand. It was really pathetic.. Same was the case with my sis and my mother also

In my first trimester I had nausea and food aversions but no vomiting. Most of that went away early in the second trimester. Now in my third trimester, I'm just huge which is uncomfortable but the morning sickness hasn't come back.
