Morning sickness won’t threaten your baby’s well-being. Not gaining weight in your first trimester because of it is not a problem as long as you stay hydrated. Your appetite will return soon enough and you’ll begin gaining weight. As long as you are able to gain at least 7 kilograms during your pregnancy you should be just fine.
If nausea keeps you from eating a balanced diet, take a prenatal vitamin to make sure you’re getting the nutrients you and your baby need.
If your baby or your placenta is not developing properly, you’d have lower levels of pregnancy hormones in your system, which will give you less reason to get nausiated. If you don’t feel any, or if you feel little nausia you might be afraid of havig a miscarriage. And it’s true that women who do have miscarriages are less likely to have had nausea. But, there are plenty of women with perfectly normal pregnancies who manage to escape nausea during their first trimester. Count yourself lucky and don’t obsess about it if you’re not suffering!
