I am 16 weeks today.
So far the only symptoms I have had or currently have are sore breasts, and a little discomfort (what I think is pressure soreness) when I go to pee in the morning.
I am a larger lady and therefore do not feel like I am showing yet, although others are telling me they are noticing that I am changing shape.
The lack of symptoms have always worried me, all the way along since I found out, but now I worry that my baby is not growing and some of the posts on this site have worried me even more.
Like the fact that some women have gone for their scans at 12 weeks or earlier and found that the baby had died, no heartbeat, but that they did not experience any pain whatsoever nor any bleeding. I had a bleed at 7 weeks which was determined to be a threatened miscarriage at the time. Since then, I have had no bleeding, but I am still wondering why the baby hasn't shown any signs of movement that I can feel.
I am due to have a scan at 19 weeks on 15 April, which for me is important to establish that all is well with my bubs as well as find out the sex of our child. At 12 weeks I had NT scan as well as blood tests. NT scan came back normal at 1.3, but my blood tests came back with a 1 in 26 chance of having a Down Syndrome child. OH and I have decided not to do Amnio or CVS (both of which carry a high risk for MC) and decided that no matter what we are keeping the baby. I therefore feel very anxious that I don't have any definite symptoms (apart from the obvious that I have no periods) and am extremely fearful that my pressure pain when I pee is a sign there is something wrong, or the lack of other signs. OH and I both really want this baby.
Anyway, I have gone on too long really. What will happen will happen.
