Vegetarian and Morning Sickness

Okay, I want to find out from vegetarian people out there, whether they had bad morning sickness when pregnant as according to studies, vegetarian diets in some cultures have resulted in little or no morning sickness. So I am curious as to whether this is the diet resulting in this or because they have different genetic makeups!

I am curious because even though I have been feeling not 100%, I sure as heck haven't experienced any full on morning sickness yet, and I am a vegetarian!

I'm a strict vego and sorry I had very bad ms until about 16 weeks.  In fact it's been a pretty uncomfortable pg all around....hope you have a better one lol

I am definitely a meat eater but haven't had morning sickness, only nausea. I don't think it really matters what diet you are on, except perhaps when you are on a healthy/not-healthy diet.

I cant see why there'd be any correlation between being a vego, or meat eater and morning sickness.

Id have thought there were numerous factors at play.

I am a meat eater and didn't get much MS, just nausea and queasiness which went away when I ate something.

Worst of it was around 8-10 weeks (sorry!)

I don't know about vegos always having "healthier" diets- alot of the very unhealthy things that I have been craving haven't been meat products at all!

(bread, cheese, chocolate, crackers, chippies, hot cross buns..!) they aren't vegan though..

Maybe you just have more willpower than I do Emmecat.

Having said that though eating is pretty much back to normal now and total weight gain so far is only 6kg which seems to have stabilised (for now!!!) so I am feeling pretty good about that.

Totally agree that vegos don't always have healthier diets.... *I* have a healthy diet but yes it's very easy to eat just as much crap on a vego diet as a meat eating one. Eating a rubbish diet as a vegan is a little harder but I guess one can always eat lots of processed tofu and soy stuff which is arguably even worse.

Think it comes down to individual makeup rather than willpower probably. I definately suprised myself about not gaining much weight as I always thought I'd put on heaps when pg. But just cos I haven't gained much doesn't mean I'll lose what I have put on easily lol.

Hi Lizze,  how much B6 are you taking?  I posted a link on the Dec site that indicated that too much B6 can be dangerous for developing bubs. 

I'm a vege and had some morning sickness for maybe 2-3 weeks in the first trimester - just felt really nauseus in the afternoon/evening but never actually threw up.

I imagine there's a lot more to those people of other cultures who don't eat a lot of meat - they also probably don't live in big cities and inhale loads of pollution and smother themselves in chemicals etc!
