Reassurance needed please help
Hi ladies
I've got myself into a total panic today. I'm 7+3 and for the last week and a half have been experiencing morning sickness symptoms and have been very hungry. Basically, as long as I kept eating, it kept the sickness at bay. Today I'm off work to supervise some workmen. I normally start feeling sick at about 10ish and have to start eating, but today I've had nothing, not really any significant sick feelings at all. I've only eaten a couple of plain biscuits - by now normally I would have eaten loads and had a double lunch. I'm in the process of booking myself in for an early scan tonight as I've got myself into such a state. Is it normal for morning sickness symptoms to vary from day to day at such a critical stage?
Because I'm potentially having a private scan, does this mean I won't be able to have my 12 week NHS scan? Also, do transvirginal scans give you spotting or anything (brown CM?).
I've had no bleeding or significant pain which is good.
Thanks for any reassurance xxx

- rapid hormone changes.
- a tricky stomach. That is, your gastrointestinal tract may be particularly sensitive.
- enhanced sense of smell and sensitivity to odors.
it is quite normal for morning sickness to stop and start anytime during pregnancy, sometimes very suddenly. While some women are lucky enough to have their morning sickness subside as early as the 12th week, generally, morning sickness stops between the 14th and 16th week of pregnancy. For some women, morning sickness will only occur in short 2-3 day bursts during the first trimester, with long stretches in between with no morning sickness.
Also, a lack of morning sickness is not always a bad thing. Morning sickness can also vary from pregnancy to pregnancy. Having no morning sickness in one pregnancy does not guarantee that you won't have any signs of morning sickness in future pregnancies and vice versa; if your morning sickness suddenly stops during one pregnancy, it may taper off during a future one.
