Pregnancy Info HOME

Actually, in studies only about 50% of all women who go to term have morning sickness. So that means about half who have a baby never were sick. . . . I had less morning sickness with my second pregnancy, the one I lost, than with my first. But I thought there were several factors causing that: 1) many women told me they were less sick with their second 2) I'm still nursing my toddler, and that seems to have a protective effect 3) I started taking extra vitamin B6 several months before ttc which has been proven to decrease m/s. I was truly grateful though, as my first pregnancy was terrible because I was so ill all the time. I never threw up, but I wanted to constantly. However, with baby #2, I had all the other symptoms of increased urination, painful breasts (and imagine nursing!), moodiness, clothes getting snug and retaining water (I start that at conception!), and those symptoms hung around after the m/c for a while. So it was a terrible shock to lose what I thought was going to be the perfect pregnancy.
