I don't feel pregnant yet!

[Katietatie123]

Hi all,

I found out I was pregnant on Monday which is wonderful news, although a bit of a surprise! I went for an early dating scan today and I'm only 4-5 weeks along (need to go back in 2 weeks to get an accurate date.)

So far so good, but as yet I don't feel very pregnant at all! I have sore boobs which come and go, but that's all. I know I should probably make the most of feeling so well, but can't help thinking that I should be having a few more symptoms! Can anyone reassure me that this all sounds normal?

Thank you! :)

At 4 - 5 weeks, I didn't feel pregnant either!

Had big, slightly tender boobs, but that was absolutely it.

Morning (and evening, and night) sickness came at 7/8 weeks.

I didn't feel pregnant until 17 weeks when i stopped being constantly sick!!!

I felt weird that i didn't feel pregnant, like maybe i wasn't as excited as i should be, but i soon was when it came to scans etc..

Don't worry it will come! And congratulations. x

I didn't even notice I was pregnant until I walked around for a week complaining about my sore boobs...

Even my very patient DH finally suggested I might be which I poo-pooed and then made a very hasty trip to Boots!

and an 'early' scan at 9+5. Still didn't feel pregnant though...Am now 34 weeks. Am feeling very very pregnant now.

Congratulations and make the most of it

I'm 5+3 and still doing tests every few days to reassure myself there's someone in there. No symptoms apart from sleeping a lot (but am on hols anyway) and occasionally sore boobs.

hi emptyshell i remember you from the miscarriage board, if you're the same lady, and wish you all the very very best with your new pregnancy. i really hope this one sticks as i remember your heartache very well. secondly, amazing that you've got pregnant again so soon, after what, if i remember rightly, was a long period of TTC.

Thanks - yes it's me. Three years to get pregnant before the miscarriage, three months to get pregnant again - still ain't quite convinced there's anyone in there yet! Had some brown spotting a few days ago so they're doing an early scan at 7 weeks (just 12 days to wait on that one) so hopefully we'll know more and I can relax a bit then.

Would just love some symptoms to make me feel more reassured!

Hi OP, I didn't 'feel' pregnant until I started to show, even though I felt movement before then.

To be honest, my first trimester symptoms ran away and hid under the bed as quickly as they came, at about 8 weeks which was scary at the time but everyone's different. I had nothing else, literally nothing until about 20 weeks when I felt him move, but even then I thought I just had a wind problem for a week or so before I thought it might be little kicks

Even when I found out he was a 'he' at the 20 week scan, it was like my heart couldn't connect to my head and start feeling different. Honestly, my bump popped out properly about 7 weeks ago now, and it's only since I've had something to look at every day that I feel any different. Before then, and it sounds horrible... it is actually, I had to check myself in restaurants to stop myself ordering a large glass of wine because I genuinely forgot about being pregnant.

Just don't forget that everyone's different and you'll connect with your little one in your own time, and in your own way

everyones different normally symptoms come after 8 weeks but some people dont get none at all, same cant be said for me though i have known a week now and have been feeling symptoms for nearly 3 weeks, so must have got them straight away, they really arnt nice, extreme tiredness, weeing all the time, nausea all day metal taste in mouth its just not nice lol, so your lucky so far.
congratulations btw :)
