9w3d - don't feel pregnant. Anyone else the same?

[Hopingitwill]

Hi- was hoping I could get reassurance off some of you ladies. I got a positive hpt the day my period was due when I was 4w 3 days. I had a few weeks feeling a bit nauseous and tired and needed to get up to pee during the night something I never do. Also sorry tmi had sore nipples that seemed constantly to be feeling the cold if you know what I mean. I also seem to want a lot of cheese! However over the last couple of weeks symptoms have subsided and to be honest I feel pretty good. If it wasn't for my original hpt and doctors confirming I wouldn't have thought I was pregnant. I have not had a scan yet but had booking appointment on sat and they took blood and urine. Am petrified I am going to get a call telling me I am no longer pregnant or that when I go for the scan they will not find anything. I know there are girls out there thinking you lucky thing feeling good but at this point with symptoms I would at least feel pregnant. Is there anyone else feeling great with no symptoms?

Hi. I'm the same as you. I'm 8 weeks approx and to be honest I was expecting to feel much worse! I feel a bit sick very occasionally and the tiredness has hit me this week. I had quite sore boobs at first but that went at about week 5. I am also cold constantly as well!
It is a worry, especially since I have also had a lot of spotting for the past three weeks. Had an early scan last week and all seems okay! I think its because in films people are constantly chucking up and eating strange things but in reality a lot of my friends with perfectly healthy little ones didnt have many or any symptoms. FX!

I know how you feel, i dont feel pregnant at all. I feel fine apart from eating alot. I've had 1 morning of nausea in 4 weeks since finding out but that is it. But I just scanned myself and bubba is there and has a heartbeat so I know its real. I suppose we are the lucky ones that have avoided the horrendous sickness that lots of other women are going through.

At first had breast tenderness and some light cramping and was starving and a little nauseous if I waited to eat... but symptoms have largely disappeared. If I hadn't increased a bra size and seen the hCG increasing for myself between last Tuesday and Friday I would never know I was pregnant. I go for an US on Thursday. I hope they see something promising. After looking at the charting I could be anywhere from 7 to 8 weeks on the day of the ultrasound.

Good luck! I'm glad there is a symptom-free club. We should update here periodically when we get news.

I havent really "felt pregnant" at all through out. In first trimester, like you I paniced over "not feeling pregnant" especially after reading stupid stuff on google....

I had no sickess or anything! Dont worry about it Just means you wont have a hurrendous pregnancy full of sickness and stuff. I only started to feel pregnant at about 22 weeks when I felt the baby kick! Other wise, I wouldnt of felt pregnant at all.

Honestly, its normal. xxx

Lucky you not having sickness, it's the pits
I know what you mean about not FEELING pregnant though, I don't either despite having symptoms lol, so I've come to the conclusion until we see the scan at 12 weeks or feel those first kicks, some of us just won't believe we really are pregnant!!xx

Thanks girls - is good to know I am not weird and the only one feeling this way. I have not had any hcg or scans yet so don't even feel I have that to take a bot of reassurance from. My dh says my boobs have got bigger but personally don't see it. I had my booking appointment last sat so am waiting on scan date now. Am assuming they will check my blood for hcg levels so if there was a problem I would know! Don't get me wrong I am more than happy to not have any morning sickness but on other hand just want to know everything is ok!!!!
Pebbles- glad to hear everything is ok following your spotting. I havnt had that yet so am holding onto that but still can't help worrying that they won't see anything when I eventually get a scan date!!!!
Maidennet- is very reassuring you didn't have symptoms and everything has progressed well for you!
Scuba- sorry to hear you don't feel well but take it as reassurance until scan!!!

Hi, Im the same really, not having any symptoms yet. I'm pretty tired in the evenig by about half 9, but in all honesty i was like that before "no i'm not asleep i'm just resting my eyes"!! And to be fair i get up at 5.45am so most normal people tired by then too. But no sickness no sore boobs etc, i also feel like if it wasn't for a test i wouldn't know!
Do you think that if we have got to 8/9 weeks with no sickness we might just get away with it?? I was worried at first at the lack of symptoms but i'm not now, and now realise its pretty normal.

I'm sort of the same, i had had quite bad MS then it all got better...a little tiredness, bigger boobs and a few little things but other than that OK. I haven't had a scan or blood work either. I have my booking appt next week. I try not to worry and have a what will be will be attitude, but i do dread the dating scan and them finding a MMC. But am trying to be positive with a level of preparedness for the worst, if that makes sense? As for the symptoms, i don't think they reassure you much as you can still have a MC with numerous symptoms and a very healthy pregnancy with none!

 

[Hopingitwill]

That makes a lot of sense Charlie - thanks!

All pregnancies are different, remember those with the worst symptoms will be more vocal and might want more support/venting. Me, I could easily run a marathon tonight I feel great, I'm 10+2! This is my 3rd pregnancy and easiest so far but my 1st (my son) was very very easy too. No complaints not even when I was waddling hippo at 41 weeks.

It is good tohear so many people feeling great and having successful pregnancies. So many times as you say you only hear the stories of bad symptoms. Thanks for reassurance. Now I just need my scan to confirm everything ok when I get the date!

i'm 9 weeks, seem to be getting a bump but not really had any symptoms. I've gone off some food and feel extremely sick if someone even mentions eggs but nothing other than that :/

I'm really not noticing anything, aside from the annoying spotting. My breasts were very sore, and I had some mild cramping, around Week 5, and really, now, nothing. I feel...ordinary. Not a trace of nausea, no belly (I'm a big lady, so I expect it will be months before that really kicks in.)

It's worrying me, but I'm also reminding myself that when I went on the pill, I was told by dozens of people that it was horrible, they couldn't stand it, they were sick all the time, they gained tons of weight, they had hideous side effects, they had to try six diffeent kinds...and I took them and never noticed. I wonder if some people just react less to hormonal shifts.

Well I have just had scan date in for 17th April.am trying to get moved forward though as I have a family wedding where I obviously won't be drinking. However I would like to announce beforehand if I can get scan earlier. Don't want people to be guessing or asking questions confirming everything ok. Well as for symptoms yesterday I thought I was getting terrible ms as was nauseated all day and couldn't eat. Got home from work and went straight to bed as felt like I had been hit by a bus. However started running a temperature and was sweating but shivering with cold. Then couldn't even keep water down let alone eat so was advised by midwife to suck icecubes. They think I have picked up a bug from school as I am a teacher rather than ms. Still feel rough today and didn't go in either only just managed to start drinking water now!
