I'm not sure exactly how pregnant I am but I think my last period was somewhere between 7th and 11th April. I have now done 4 tests-all positive -but I don't seem to have many, if any, symptoms to speak of. With my first pregnancy I didn't have any sickness but I do remember having very sore boobs. At the moment my boobs feel slightly heavier, but other than that, nothing. When did other peoples symptoms start? Am I panicking about nothing?

I never have any symptoms - no ms, sore boobs etc, just more tired than usual. Many women have no symptoms. In fact, the pg I had most symptoms for was the one I miscarried.

Plus, many symptoms kick in around 6 weeks when the placenta starts forming, so you're a bit early for that.

I always worry about my lack of symptoms but once the 12 week scan confirms that everything is alright, I'm relieved by the lack of ms.

I know several mum friends who didnt have any symptoms and all was well. Some people are just lucky! (though appreciate its worrying).

Sitting here feeling dreadful, sick and tired at 13 weeks hoping it will pass soon.

Thanks for your words of reassurance. I am obsessing ridiculously as it's still really early days. I should probably be grateful I'm not feeling crap, but I am actually wishing I'd feel sick. Totally bizarre I know! Hope yours passes though Kerala.

You might not get any symptoms, I have had nothing in both my pregnancies, no morning sickness, no sore boobs, nothing.

I'm 21 weeks and still have no symptoms. no sickness, no cravings, my boobs aren't even that much bigger. Sometimes I worry perhaps something is wrong but the rest of the time I am relieved I can get on with life as normal.

hi mumnanny1... you're not alone!! I'm about the same stage as you and thinking exactly the same! felt horrendous in both previous pregnancies, but cant remember when that began so now in a quiet state of inner hysteria! husband thinks this is clearly the hormones talkingwink

With my first pregnancy I had almost no symptoms. I can see why some people don't know they are pregnant at all in the first 3 or 4 months. This time round I'm knackered and feeling sick so shows each one is different.

So glad I'm not the only one! Fingers crossed.

Message
Emphasis: To bold a word, surround it with asterisks, so *hello* will display hello. For underline use _ , so _hello_ gives hello. For italics use ^, so ^hello^ gives hello. To strike out a word, surround it with two hyphens either side, so --dog-- gives dog

Links and smileys: To insert a smiley face,  , type [smile] or :)
For a big grin,  , type [grin] or :o
For a wink,  , type [wink]

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
