    Yet again.. another pregnancy question
    OK I've been asking a lot of questions lately about my pregnancy, I guess I'm just quite anxious, but here's another..

    I'm 10 weeks now. I suffered all day morning sickness without vomiting and it was not nausea but more queezy throughout the entire day. Then I discovered "Sona pregnaplan morning sickness vitamins", highly recommended! Well they sorted me right out! Haven't felt sick since, up until yesterday, at quarter to 12 in the day I got this sudden nausea, raced to the bathroom and vomited my guts up and then at the same time today the same thing happened.

    My question is, why have I suddenly started vomiting? Isn't the sickness supposed to subside at this stage? By the way I just felt the baby move for the first time this mintue :)

    Firstly, morning sickness doesn't usually subside until about the 12 or 13th week gestation. Sometimes even later. For some unfortunate women it can last the entire pregnancy.

    I don't want to burst your bubble. But most likely you did not feel the baby move as it is only the size of a very small strawberry at this point in your pregnancy.

    Most women don't feel the baby move until at least the 20th week with their first babies and then about the 16th or 18th week with subsequent pregnancies.

    It was like palpatations in my uterus or a little butterfly. Would this not be a movement? :(

    This is most likely (and I really hate to say it), gas. Our intestines have something called peristalsis that moves food and fluid through our gut.

    Many pregnant women are so anxious to their babies move that the mistake peristalsis for fetal movement.

    I'm really sorry to burst your bubble like that, but it's WAY too soon to be feeling actual movement.

    I really hate to answer questions like these with the truth. Women get so excited about the movement. HOWEVER, some of these women also get freaked out if they don't continue to feel the movement and become paranoid that the baby has died and they have not yet miscarried, then run to the doctor in a panic.

    If you don't know me by now, you will know that I don't sugar coat anything, and I don't put false hopes in people. I tell the truth straight out.

    Rest assured though, you will feel movement in time. I promise you that. It's just going to take about another 10 weeks.

    Consider yourself lucky, not all women even know they are pregnant by 10 weeks, so you have more time to enjoy the pregnancy than they do.
