Early pregnancy paranoia is striking again. 
Everyone else I know in the early weeks with me is as sick as a dog and feeling lousy but relieved, since morning sickness is 'a good sign'... Except I'm here without it and feeling anxious that this says something bad about our pregnancy.
Curious to see what your experiences were with morning sickness?

I had none whatsoever with my third pregnancy despite having it with my first two. Third baby is the biggest and healthiest.

I was pregnant with twins (so tons of hormones!) and was on progesterone shots and suppositories (even more hormones) and had no morning sickness.

I had none with my son and he was perfect. I'm now pregnant with a girl and the morning sickness has been awful. Maybe you're just having a boy

@jaguar: I've had no morning sickness and a healthy baby, mild nausea and a miscarriage, and horrid nausea from weeks 6-9 during this pregnancy (16 weeks now).
Symptoms just don't tell you much!

I second @twodoghouse: .... Pregnant with 2 IVF twins at the moment and my pregnancy (nearly 23 weeks) is going smoothly. Hormone central + suppositories and "knock on wood" .... I felt no MS. I think I had 2 instances of nausea in the entire first trimester.

@jaguar: how far along are you? it took me a little while before i starting puking all the time with baby #2. and i honestly don't remember with #1 but that was almost exclusively nausea without vomiting so...
mild nausea before my miscarriage. i don't think it's indicative

It didn't start until 7 weeks for me...I wouldn't worry, soak it up!

I've had one miscarriage and one successful pregnancy. My miscarriage was early at 6 weeks, and nausea hadn't hit yet. With my successful pregnancy, I felt great until 9 weeks, and even then it was just nausea and food aversions, no vomiting. I don't think it's a good indicator.

I think you are still pretty early, right? I didn't have anything strong until about nine weeks, then it struck hard. Easier said than done, but don't stress, sooo many of my friends had no symptoms and have happy, healthy babies!

Sometimes symptoms don't kick in until a little later -- you're still a bit on the early side. For what it's worth, I didn't have any morning sickness for either kid -- older one is 3.5. I'm almost 18w along baking the little one.

LOTS of nausea and misery with lo1.
Bleeding, almost no nausea (although my gut changed a lot, I had other GI problems and had damage done to my system..sorry, gross, but in case it's relevant..) and very little cravings with lo2. Both healthy babies. As the old wives tales would guess, I did have a girl, then a boy! Guess your other scan must have had good news..will pray for your little baby to grow perfectly on track!

My morning sickness didn't start until after 8 weeks. And then it was usually triggered by smells. I only vomited once though, the rest of the time it was just dry heaving.

I had no morning sickness both times and two healthy perfect babies!
My sister is currently preggo with her first and no morning sickness for her either!

Very little morning sickness that did not occur until the end of the first trimester and I have a healthy 15-month-old son. Good luck with your pregnancy!

No morning sickness, successful pregnancy! It really isn't an indicator of anything (although I would suspect that it helps to tell yourself that it is if you feel awful every day).
Enjoy feeling good! You're pregnant and I'm so excited for you!

@2littlepumpkins: scan isn't til tomorrow at this stage, hence the nerves!

I've had 3 pregnancies - a miscarriage at 6 weeks, an IVF pregnancy with progesterone, and a natural pregnancy. Never any morning sickness. Apparently 25% of women don't get any, hopefully you'll just be one of the lucky ones! I did used to tell my husband that I wished I was throwing up because at least then I'd feel more confident.

It started at 13 weeks for me for LO 2. She was an April 2013 baby!

I have had three pregnancies and never had much morning sickness. Two resulted in successful births and the one in the middle was a loss. Symptoms were not predictive for me.
Fingers crossed so hard for you!!

I didn't have morning sickness at all and am still pregnant at 32.5 weeks.

@jaguar: while I had awful MS with LO I have two dear friends who both sailed through easy pregnancies without much fuss except for a bit of tiredness at either end. I was amazed! But they both had big healthy boys and are doing well today. Thinking of you and your scan tomorrow.

@jaguar: With DS my MS didn't set it until 8wks (7wks with DD).

I felt great with my son! This time I did have some queasiness, but I can't remember when it started. Not right away for sure. I didn't feel pregnant.

With DD1 I stared feeling very sick around 8 weeks. With DD2, it started around 8-9 weeks. Just as soon as I started getting excited about maybe missing it this time it struck with. A. Vengeance! Enjoy feeling well while you can!

I've been pregnant 5 times. One cp I'm not going to count for this, so 4. I had the most mild morning sickness for both of my successful pregnancies. Like some food aversions and maybe 3 days tops of just wanting to eat crackers.
With my two miscarriages, I was soooo sick! Never throwing up but days and days of constant nausea.

I didn't have it with either pregnancy. With my second, I had none of the symptoms I had with #1 and it totally freaked me out. Each pregnancy/ baby is different!

I had a healthy twin pregnancy and not a single day of morning sickness!

I have only had 1 child/pregnancy. I didn't have morning sickness until about 7-8 weeks. I thought that I was going to make it to the second trimester with no morning sickness. lol I have heard of people having no morning sickness and still having healthy babies. It varies from pregnancy to pregnancy.

I have had my worst morning sickness with pregnancies that ended in miscarriage.
The pregnancy with my LO was actually the easiest one. I was mildly nauseous for maybe a month but it was not nearly as bad as my other pregnancies.
I have never thrown up with any of my pregnancies. I just get varying degrees of nausea, food aversions, and exhaustion.

I'm 15 weeks now and I didn't have nausea even for a moment in my first tri. I don't think it really means anything! My OB said it was totally normal. She also said only about 25 percent of women suffer from MS. I think we just hear about it more because it's not like people are going to walk around like, "FYI, I feel great!"

No morning sickness at all, 2 healthy kiddos to show for it 
Thinking good thoughts for you!

I had no morning sickness and spotting through week 7 or so - my healthy almost-18-month-old DS is sleeping in his crib right now. Thinking good thoughts for you!!
