Early pregnancy symptoms come and go

Hi everyone,

I found out I was pregnant last week and believe I am 5-6 weeks along. I had the initial tender to touch boobs, skin breakout and peeing more in the night. Then my symptoms started to come and go.

I had a few very fleeting moments of nausea, last night being the last time, and I’ve been having mild cramps, however today I have nothing?

My boobs have stopped being so tender over the past few days, they feel heavy and definitely different but not so tender to touch.

It’s my first pregnancy and I’m probably doing the typical panic here and I know I shouldn’t be worrying about not being sick but part of me wants the reassurance that the nausea brings. Is it normal to be perfectly fine one day? Should I be worried now if I haven’t felt any symptoms today?

Thanks!!

Symptoms come and go. That's completely normal.
Symptoms really don't mean much at all as long as you're not bleeding.

SnooperTrooper12345 · 17/02/2021 18:27

Also doesn't mean anything about the pregnancy if they don't return. I've never had symptoms apart from sore boobs occasionally that come and go week by week

Thanks @SnooperTrooper12345 ! That’s reassuring. I read one worrying line about symptoms disappearing on google, and now I can’t get it out of my head.

I really wish it was told to more people because so so many people worry about it! ❤️

I feel the same - I’m 5+6 and at the beginning I had really sore boobs, but now some days they aren’t sore at all. Sometimes I feel shattered and other times I feel fine. I’ve had losses before and I found I still had symptoms even when I was miscarrying so after MANY a google and mumsnet search I’ve decided to only worry if I start bleeding.

It’s really hard though when every pregnancy article seems to talk about nausea as though everyone gets it, I’ve only had a couple of mild waves.

I kind of want to feel symptoms all the time for reassurance but it just doesn’t seem to work that way xx

Unfortunately having symptoms doesn't do much for reassurance as with a miscarriage and missed miscarriage, hcg is still in your system.

I had sore boobs and nausea for 4 weeks after my miscarriage ❤️

Doyles1 · 17/02/2021 18:55

@Cafeaulait27 I'm the same with wanting to feel symptoms! A close friend of mine is currently pregnant too and she is a couple of months ahead but she had constant sickness so I'm comparing myself to her. Now, I really don't want to be that pregnant person who complains about not feeling sick because I know it can be AWFUL for some people but, I feel so relieved when I have waves of nausea. So silly but, until I have a scan that's my only reassurance!

I guess the best thing we can do is not worry too much and stress our bodies out 🥰

Hello all
My early scan is on 9.3.21 when i will be 8+4, i feel like its too far away! Im a nervous wreck with worry. Im 6+2 now and the past two days I've had no symptoms, but up until then i had nausea, sore boobs and bad fatigue. Now nothing...I can't help but worry

Conundrum12345 · 21/02/2021 11:52

I'm concerned about symptoms going too. Today I had a sharp cramp in my abdomen and lower back so very worried about miscarriage.

Symptoms don't disappear with a miscarriage. Sharp pains can also be normal.
As long as its not accompanied by bleeding

Conundrum12345 · 21/02/2021 12:15

Would bleeding accompany the cramping or take a few days?

SnooperTrooper12345 · 21/02/2021 12:20

@Conundrum12345

More than likely accompany it.

Cramping is normal though. Very normal

Conundrum12345 · 21/02/2021 12:23

Thank you for your reassurance. Its my first and worried about everything

SamBass · 21/02/2021 12:32

@Conundrum12345 im
Exactly the same, its my first and i was just saying to my OH I don't know if the cramping is a good sign or not. I have no bleeding but all other symptoms have gone except the cramps

Its so hard not to be worried isn't it, especially when you start googling?

SamBass · 21/02/2021 12:51

@Conundrum12345 yeah it really is! I have just over two weeks for my early scan, hopefully if all okay then i will be less worries 😊 have you booked an early scan?

Conundrum12345 · 21/02/2021 12:57

Yep I've an early scan booked for the 9th March! Ill be 7+1 by then. Counting the days to it! I see you've one other same day :)

SamBass · 21/02/2021 14:15

@Conundrum12345 yeah both on the same day! 😊 you will have to let me know how you get on,mines on the evening when the OH finishes work.

Conundrum12345 · 21/02/2021 14:31

Same! Mines at 5pm! My OH can't come in with me due to covid, you're so lucky your OH is allowed in!

SamBass · 21/02/2021 14:48

@Conundrum12345 as its a private scan he can come with me, he wont be allowed for the 12week scan unfortunately. Thats part of the reason we've paid for an early private one. As its our first we wanted to see the first scan together

Ah same with ours. We're based in Ireland so there might be different rules in the UK!

SamBass · 21/02/2021 15:02

@Conundrum12345 ah yeah that's most likely it! Hopefully all goes well for us both and were just lucky symptoms have subsided 🤷🏽‍♀️

Hope everyone is managing to keep their anxieties at bay! Mine is through the roof due to severe cramps and loss of all Pregnancy symptoms 😞

Slk3558 · 21/06/2021 13:07

Hi @SamBass how did you get on? I’m feeling like I’ve lost my symptoms too.. was feeling nauseous last week and now at 6 weeks it seems to be getting less and boobs less sore.

Slk3558 · 21/06/2021 13:12

@SamBass I’ve just seen on another thread it was a MMC I’m so sorry.xx
