I'm a meat eater and haven't really had any morning sickness. I think they say if you have morning sickness it's a less chance of miscarriage, because that shows that stuff is going on (like increasing hormones, etc.) But NOT having MS is kind of neutral. I think it just depends on the person/baby. My mom told me she didn't get MS either, except when riding the subway.

I'm a meat eater, but only craved veggies and fruit during my first and second trimester. I just couldn't eat meat. Then when the 3rd trimester hit, all I craved was meat! Burgers even! I felt nauseous the whole time (throughout the entire pregnancy, but especially during the first tri).

I'm a vegetarian and had no morning sickness to speak of. I had a very few instances of queasiness but never felt like I could throw up.

I'm not a big meat eater to begin with and I had crazy morning sickness from week 7 into the 20's, so I don't really buy into the studies Here's hoping you are one of the lucky ones!

I never threw up, but I was queasy weeks 7-10 or 11. I didn't really eat much during those weeks. I remember eating a lot of crackers and drinking a lot of ginger ale. I eat a mostly vegetarian diet. I feel like it did kind of come on quickly, but left just as fast as it came.

As a side note, I craved meat a lot while pregnant. I took it as a sign to up my protein and occasionally would eat some meat. The cravings went away immediately after giving birth.

@VEGMAMA: I woke up feeling fine at 7 weeks to the day, after being up a little while out of nowhere I had to throw up, otherwise I felt totally fine.

Most of my morning sickness consisted of: I woke up, threw up, and would have no appetite, just a generalized crummy feeling.

That's really interesting, but who knows if it is true or not...I am an omnivore and I didn't have any morning sickness at all and I have a healthy 28 month old son.

I'm a meat eater, but couldn't eat meat in my first trimester. I only wanted carbs. I also didn't get morning sickness until I was 8 weeks.... but then it came pretty hard.

I am quite possibly the world's biggest carnivore and eat meat every single day. During pregnancy, I was having red meat about 4 times per week to keep my iron levels up, and white meat the rest of the time. I had not one minute of morning sickness my entire pregnancy. Not even the slightest bit of nausea or food aversions, nada, nothing. I didn't have any cravings either, even though I really wanted to!

So in my awesome case study of one, loads of meat=zero morning sickness!

I am a mostly veggie since age 14 (chicken or seafood maybe once a month pre-pregnancy) and I had morning sickness - mostly extreme queasiness and gagging after breakfast, but not actual sickness. Mine didn't really kick in seriously until week 8/9 and stuck around until week 13/14. My chicken intake has increased with the pregnancy because I seriously crave it so I feel like my body/baby must need it!
