Hello Sarah, of course it's normal! Some women don't experience any morning sickness at all during pregnancy while others can spend most of the first few months with constant sickness. When i was pregnant i was fortunate to only be physically sick a couple of times, the rest of the time i felt a bit queesy but not actually sick. Regarding taking Paracetamol, i was told i could in small doses, ie; if you normally take 4 a day only have 2. About cold remedies, they are a no no, unfortunately you just have to grin and bear it, i had 2 major colds during my pregnancy, you can inhale steam, and have lemon and honey, that's about it i'm afraid. Hope i have been of help to you. Good luck in your pregnancy. X

Hi Sarah

 

I had two sons and not even a slight hint of sickness.  In fact I became extra hungry in the first weeks.  It may be an old wives tale, but I would guess you'll have a boy!!

I wasn't sick and didn't feel sick, and I had a boy!  However, I did get indigestion almost from day 1.

My morning sickness didn't kick in until about week 8 and then it was more a general 'bleurgh' feeling where I was never actually sick. By week 14 it went completely. I wouldn't believe that not feeling very ill means you're having a boy because mine's due in May and definitely a girl! I was convinced it would be a boy but that's my instincts for you. Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy.

I had two children (first a boy, then a girl) and never had morning sickness with either of them. It must depend on your body type, like a lot of people are sick after anaesthetic, but I wasn't; I was ravenous. Don't worry about it; enjoy your good luck, because it must be horrible to puke all the time!
