Does everyone get morning sickness in pregnancy?
I just found out I'm pregnant, and I'm a bit nervous about morning sickness. I've heard some terrible stories. Does everyone get morning sickness during pregnancy, or am I lucky if I don't?

No, not everyone goes through it, as every pregnancy is unique. My mother-in-law suggested ginger tea which helped me a lot, but I always confirmed everything with my gynecologist first. Definitely ask your doctor if the vomiting is too severe to keep food down.
I have seen friends who had zero nausea, while some were hospitalized for severe dehydration. Having PCOS made me extra cautious about how my body reacts during hormone shifts. Don't worry if your symptoms are different, but do keep your doctor in the loop.
Actually, some lucky women don't feel sick at all during their pregnancy. It varies completely from person to person.
My wife didn't have a single day of morning sickness, whereas her sister was miserable for the entire first trimester. It is completely down to individual hormones, so there is no standard rule. If you feel fine, count yourself lucky and just enjoy the phase.
