How shocked were you when Tori Spelling announced that she is pregnant with her fourth child? OMG. She just had her third baby, Hattie, like five months ago, so it's amazing that she was ready and rearing to go for another kid so quickly after giving birth. More power to her, I guess!
So far it sounds like she's really lucky with this pregnancy, because she says that she feels great and doesn't have any morning sickness. But some people think that morning sickness is actually a good thing, and that being disgustingly nauesated indicates a healthier pregnancy. So does that mean that Tori should be worried because she's not driving the porcelain bus every morning?
Based on my personal experience being preggo, I think that the idea of morning sickness indicating the health of a pregnancy is nothing but an old wives' tale.
Because I too had one of those dream pregnancies where I sat around wondering when the morning sickness was going to kick in -- and it never did. I didn't get sick at all during the entire nine months I was carrying my son. And not once at any of my doctor's visits did she seem worried about the fact that I wasn't queasy. She actually never said a word to me about lack of morning sickness being a bad thing -- it was my friends and co-workers who insisted I should be puking for the sake of the baby's health. (Nice, huh?)
Other than having a very long labor and delivery, my son's birth was pretty flawless as well, and he came out happy and healthy. I may not have thrown up once while expecting him, but I still got an outcome as close to perfect as babies get. Even though plenty of people insist otherwise, I really think there's just no way morning sickness and healthy pregnancies are remotely correlated.

I had hyperemesis, I am literally scared to get pregnant again seeing as I would have to quit my job to deal with the HG. It was terrible, I wanted to die a few times.
Same here, I never got sick once and had a very healthy pregnancy. I know that if you have low progesterone levels in early pregnancy, that can raise miscarriage rates, and it also has the side effect of not inducing morning sickness. But every pregnant is different! Like you, I can testify that it was not the case at all for me.
My pregnancy with my daughter easy-peasy, no morning sickness, nothing. My son sick as a dog every.single.day his pregnancy was awful, he also is the one who has food allergies. I think that the whole being sick makes a healthy pregnancy is bull.
I didn't have a lick of morning sickness. I felt great. Loved my pregnancy and my baby was the most beautiful, healthy baby you could imagine. Just lucky, is all.
i dont have a new baby yet but hope to. its been 13 years since my last baby!
With my first I threw up maybe 3 times, with this 2nd I have had absolutely no morning sickness. I don't think it's a problem when you don't start your day with your head in a toilet.
I didn't have any morning sickness at all with my daughter (my only child). I didn't even know I was pregnant until 17 weeks because I had no symptoms whatsoever (no weight gain, still getting 'periods', and obviously no sickness). Still had a heatlhy baby though...so I don't think there is truth to the 'no sickness = unhealthy pregnancy' thing.
