Is it Normal Not to Have Morning Sickness When Pregnant?

Pregnancy is filled with a lot of myths and old wives tales. One of the myths is that every pregnant woman has to have morning sickness. It is completely normal to not have morning sickness when pregnant, and it is considered healthy. Morning sickness depends on a lot of things, including how a woman's body handles pregnancy.

  1. Cause

    • According to Babycenter.com, morning sickness or nausea during pregnancy is possibly caused by increased hormones, specifically hormone called hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin). However medical professionals are not certain as to what causes morning sickness.

    Effects

    • Nausea is usually associated as an early pregnancy symptom, occurring in the first few weeks and easing as the pregnancy progresses. Not all women feel nauseous or sick, and do not vomit during pregnancy. Other symptoms such as fatigue, headache and dizziness can also occur during the same time.

    Enhanced Sense of Smell

    • According to Babycenter.com, morning sickness can occur throughout the day, specifically around different smells. During pregnancy, the sense of smell changes and certain aromas may be unpleasant, triggering nausea.

    Warning

    • Sudden case of daily nausea or vomiting or uncontrolled vomiting in the second or third trimester isn't normal. It could mean an illness like flu, food poisoning or another health problem. Babycenter.com recommends talking to your doctor if this occurs, because of the risk of dehydration.

    Other symptoms

    • For women lucky enough to not have morning sickness, other pregnancy symptoms may occur such as cramps, spotting or weight gain.
