Hi there,
I am about five weeks pregnant with my first child and aside from sheer exhaustion and the occasional, out of character emotional outbursts, I haven't had any other symptoms of pregnancy. MY GP refuses to refer anyone to the midwife until you are at least ten weeks, so I haven't had any anti-natal checks as of yet.
The reason I'm asking is because I've read loads of blogs/articles which all state by now you should be experiencing nausea/vomiting/cravings/and the need to go to the toilet a lot more.
I have been going to the toilet but I think this more down to drinking more water than I'm used to. I get very fleeting feelings of nausea but these usually pass very quickly, or are so mild I don't give it much thought. I was sick earlier this week, once, but I was coughing a lot, having given up the cigs so I think that was probably why I was sick.
I'm just a bit worried because until I have my anti-natal appointments, I'm not going to know how things are progressing, though I haven't had any bleeding or severe cramps which I've read can hint towards a miscarriage. Just more trapped wind than normal. I think because this is my first child, I have no idea what to expect so I find myself worrying about things maybe more often than I should.
I've cut out drinking, smoking, caffeine and trying to remain as active as I can be (half and hour walking per day ect). I'm trying to eat as healthily as I can so my little apple seed can grow. I just want to know if not having many, if any symptoms, is normal at this stage. I've tried researching it but most articles tell me what I should be feeling, and as I'm not its got me a bit worried. Any advice from any mummies who have been here before would be muchly appreciated.
Thank you :)
