Can you have morning sickness 2 weeks after conception?

[AKL_Megs]

Well, I conceived on November 20th, Aunt Flo was due December 6th, and we told our parents on December 24th. Our doctor told us our baby looked "exactly as it should", and we saw the heartbeat on December 28th, and we told the rest of our family on December 30th, and THE WHOLE WORLD on December 31st.

I'm 9 weeks tomorrow.

I say, tell if you feel comfortable telling. Enjoy every moment!

Congrats Mrs. Darcy! I told everyone who would listen to me that I was pregnant each time. Although not all the pregnancies were successful, I was always glad that I told early. After all, each little life was a celebration to me and my husband.

I'm pregnant!!!!!!!!!!!! Late last night I went to the 24 hr pharmacy and bought a test. I waited until my husband came home from work at 2 am and when I showed him the test he said "holy crap this is serious" and I started crying! I thought he meant he was having daddy cold feet but he said no no no I'm just excited! Phew! The test said it's more accurate this early with the first morning urine so we hardly got any sleep just talking about it. Then I woke up at 6 and tool the test and it said PREGNANT! I called my parents right away, woke them up it was so early but I couldn't wait and then I called Will's parents and they're all so happy! I thought I was going to faint when i saw the result, my heart was beating so fast and I have never been happier in my life. Will was his usual calm self, too much Marines training I think but when he was hugging me he said in my ear "wow we're going to have a baby" and he started singing the "we're Having A Baby" song from I Love Lucy that Ricky sang to Lucy when she told him. (I'm a big I Love Lucy fan).


We went out for breakfast but the smell of the sausages cooking made me feel more nauseous than ever, so we left and went to my parents house. My mom was crying and my dad was teasing her about being a grandma because my mom hates the idea of growing old, but she is thrilled beyond anything. Will's parents, brother and sister came over and his sister and I wanted to go buy some baby things, but both of our mothers said to wait until I reach my 4th month. But we went anyway but just bought a receiving blanket. Then I remembered to call my grandmother and grandfather and Will's grandmother (his grandfather passed away before I met Will) and of course they were so happy for the first great-grandchild to be born but they said I should have waited for a few months before telling anyone. I guess that generation was superstitious or something,

So we spent the morning and afternoon with family, then Will went to a showing of the new 2011 Ducati motorcycles with his brother and I went home and called my BFF in NYC. She just had her first baby in October and we're thrilled that our babies will be sorta close in age. We started crying because we wish we lived closer to each other.

After that I called my 3 close friends who all live in my area and they came over and I ended up telling 2 other wives in our Officers Townhouse Sector. One is an older lady who was happy for me but in between her hugs she kept "reminding" me that it's still a very early pregnancy. I know what she means by that but I still want to be excited without dwelling on what could happen.

So I finally got a chance to get online and share my news with you. There really is Disney magic because I'm going to have my little disney souvenir!!!

Oh, my due date is September 17th, which works perfectly because I can teach until June and then stay home to be a mom!

You've got me all teary. Congratulations! I remember that feeling so well.

Carina, I understand what you're saying. I always thought the women from older generations were superstitious about telling people very early because they thought it would put a jinx or bad luck on the pregnancy. Maybe I'm wrong, because no one ever actually told me that, I just assumed that's what they were thinking. And I don't believe in jinxes.

The way I see it is that right now I'm pregnant and happy about it so I want to share my happiness as it is now because usually when someone hears that a woman is pregnant, they are happy for the woman. If something happens, then I''ll have a lot of people to offer me comfort. If I don't tell that I'm pregnant and something happens, people in my life will wonder why I'm so sad and I'd have to tell them anyway. I think that would be harder for me. Thank you for explaining your feelings about this, though.

From a mom who has miscarried:

I was glad I told early because I had extra support when the worst happened.

Also, since I'm done having babies, I'll say this: cherish every moment of your pregnancy. Yes, there's a chance you could miscarry, but don't let that take away from your joy now. Enjoy and cherish every moment (even when you're puking your guts out - and if you've already got morning sickness, I expect a post from you asking us what you can do about it, that you're miserable. )

That must have been SOME gift shop at the end of that ride!
Congrats!!!

I pinpointed my fertile time and when that day came (it was Christmas Day!) . I know how I must sound like an oddball, but I'm really just a regular woman.


I had no idea that 1 in 4 pregnancies ends in mc. I mean of course I know many women who have had this happen to them but I didn't know those odds. It's scary.

I know a mc is nature's way of dealing with an embryo with a defect or with a uterus with a defect, but are there any ways to up the odds that a healthy embryo will make it all the way through to the 2nd trimester? Should I even be thinking of these things or should I just let things go and see what happens? omg I don't want to become obsessed with trying to save my baby when I haven't even had any problems yet.

I have an appt with an OB next month. I wanted to come now and she said I could but that if I wait until one more month passes she'll be able to see more information from my body about the pregnancy and it'll be a more exciting experience for me. So I'll wait.

Again, thank you ALL, even the posters who were sort of debbie downers. I really do know you mean well. All of a sudden I feel like I have so so much to learn.

 

[AKL_Megs]

The "Debbie Downers" made me nervous, too. I was constantly checking for bleeding, was nervous with cramps, etc.

You know what? THAT stress isn't healthy, and it's no way to live.

I finally just stopped worrying and let nature do its thing. If it's going to happen, it's going to happen. Don't listen to the downers.

[EeyoreEma]

Congrats! As someone who has had 3 m/c's, I say tell if you want. That way you'll already have a built in support system. But more importantly, don't dwell on the fact that you could potentially have problems. Just enjoy it-it is such a special time in your life, and it will go by so quickly! I loved each of my pregnancies, even the ones I lost. Contests again.

 

[Liberty Belle]

I pinpointed my fertile time and when that day came (it was Christmas Day!) my husband got a naughty smile oh his face and said "come here, you". I felt so nervous like my wedding night! I wanted to get started but then I told him maybe we should wait until bedtime because then we can just lay there and fall asleep and let nature happen without us walking the parks and doing attractions all day. I was thinking maybe the rides would make it not stick, so I wanted to go right to sleep afterwards and bedtime would be the best time because we had a full day planned. I also wanted to pray afterwards and I love praying myself to sleep. I know how I must sound like an oddball, but I'm really just a regular woman.

I read some of the posts to my husband and I was surprised that he felt as cautious about telling I was pregnant just as some posters here have said. But he said he kept it to himself because he knows how much I want this baby and he didn't want to spoil the excitement for me.

Even if it is 1 in 4 pregnancies (and I think that's a bit high, but who knows), that's a 75% chance that this pregnancy will stick and those are good odds. There's no reason to think that it's not a healthy, viable pregnancy. If it turns out not to be, you can deal with it then, but certainly don't worry about it!

 

[Mrs. Charming]

OMG CONGRATS!!!!!

Morning sickness like this is an excellent sign that your body is doing what it's supposed to do!


(You're still making me want to do this all over again! DS is only 4 months! Eeeeep! Must. Stop. Reading.)

 

[Carina]

I just want to stress again that I was in no way trying to burst your bubble or even deflate it.... I was just trying to explain why you were hearing advice to carry that news a little close to your chest.

Also when I said that I belived you should not tell anyone you would want to untell I really was refering to people that tell EVERYONE not just friends and family.

I had a co-worker ( I am a grocery store cashier) who was telling customers just a few days after finding out, this went on for about 2 weeks then she lost the baby. Those customers of course had no way to know she lost the baby ( she was months away from being preganant enough for anything to show) for litterally months afterwards she had people asking her how her pregnancy was going... it was horrible for her and ackward for the customers.

So when I gave that advice it was really just to protect you from a situation like that.

As someone said though your morning sickness is actually a good sign. The more the hormones rage the better.

But if you listen to only one piece of advice please realize the best thing you can do is RELAX. Don't worry about misscarrying, just because I ( or anyone) told you not to tell too many people. Don't worry about how much weight you should or should not gain ( just eat healthy - which at 5'5" and 120 lbs you probably already do), don't worry about seeing your OB sooner than she reccomended ( assuming things continue to go fine) dont worry about anything, because everything is going to happen as it's meant to be, no matter if you worry or not (lol especially the weight gain***)
- the next 9 months will be the fastest and slowest 9 months of your life. So RELAX and enjoy it!


(*** all 3 of my pregancys I started underweight and all 3 times I gained only 1-2 lbs the first trimester (yes I was nauseous). All 3 times the Dr told me without more body fat I would be unable to nurse easily. All 3 times I gained 10-13 pounds A MONTH in my 2nd trimester. My eating habits DID NOT CHANGE, and I was eating healthy, it was just what my body did to adjust to the pregnancy...... because everything is going to happen as it's meant to be )

No need to explain, Carina. I understand your concern woman to woman.

 

[Carina]

No need to explain, Carina. I understand your concern woman to woman.

Thank you for saying that... I was feeling soooo guilty for being the first to 'say it'

Ok now that you've quoted me a few times does that classify me as a close enough friend to ask.....

So who won, did hubby's "look " do you in, or did you put him off till bedtime?

( I would never have asked if you didn't tell 3/4 of the story then leave us hanging.... )

I put him off.

Oh my, all the downers. Just have fun with this. We told everyone we knew as soon as I knew that I was pregnant with my first. I sit here today reading this and I am so happy and excited for you. This time 14 years ago I was in the hospital waiting to be induced. That tiny bundle of joy is now in the kitchen eating, is 5'6" , about 120 pounds and is in the 8th grade.

Also morning sickness is a good sign, it is the pregnancy hormone that is making you that way.

I really don't know why people want to give all the bad and sad things that can go wrong. Enjoy this, it it a total rush.

Sorry, I was one of the downers, but only because, when I was pregnant the first time, I had no idea how many women have very early m/c, before they even get to the OB. I told right away, and I can't tell you how many people looked at me like I had 2 heads when I told them I was 4 weeks along. It was only later that I realized why.

8 years ago, I was looking forward to my OB appointment, having no idea I would be told to drive myself to the hospital, to get ready for a c/s for my twins.

 

[Liberty Belle]

i put him off until bedtime and he didn't like it one bit that he had to wait! The poor guy had been waiting for weeks until we got down to wdw! he wasn't totally deprived during that time, though.

tmi, tmi!

It is sad and it does happen, and I am sorry for your loss. I also had a friend that lost one twin at 8 weeks and the other at full term, but I don't go around telling everyone. I just don't think that sharing bad news is the thing to do when someone is so happy.

Some people never actually realize they are pregnant and have a miscarriage, so sometimes the body has done this and the person never knows and then later pregnancies are fine. Seems to happen mostly on the first pregnancy.

 

[RebeccaB]

Yay, another September baby! Mine will be 11 on Sept 9th. She was originally due the 13th, then moved to the 1st, and I was induced on the 8th.
I was 11 weeks pg when I found out. Yeah, so I missed like a 1/3 of the pregnancy haha...I was sicker than a dog, thought I had the flu. Uh...not so much. I had morning sickness til about 6mo pg, then it came back the last month. I weighed 106 at 11weeks. Congratulations!!

I could not agree more. Why even bring it up? It nevers ceases to amaze me the negative Nellys that come out of the woodwork when you tell them you are pregnant. They what to tell you all the bad things that happened to them. It's not about you and your past pregancies. It's about the OP.

A BIG CONGRATS, MRS. DARCY!!!!!!
