“There’s no way you can be pregnant without symptoms”

I just knew but I didn't really have symptoms before missed period.

I did crave some food I don't even like though (couldn't eat it lol) and was extra emotional but I think that was the week before I even got pregnant hahaha

She's talking rubbish. My mum had no symptoms - her periods stopped, doctor told her it was just her age, and she had no idea she was pregnant until 6 weeks before I was born. She just assumed she was putting on weight because of the menopause.

My dd in law had no symptoms until she went into labour.. and even then she didn’t know what it was, she thought she was having severe stomach pain and went into a&e where they told her she was having a baby (it was her first) she still had periods and everything.

My friends mother had a baby when she thought she was menopausal. Had no pregnancy symptoms (she had four children). Jo came into work concerned because mum had gone to A&E with stomach pains and she’d not heard from her. About Q10.30 am dad rang to tell Jo she had a baby brother. So no, not everyone gets symptoms, good luck with everything

@Lemongrassays When are you going to take a test?

Your so called friend is a dick!

I was waiting for IVF, told we would never get pregnant naturally. The day we were meant to get our schedule I took a test and I was pregnant!

I had 0 symptoms, I have everything crossed for you and so should your dick of a friend!

We are meant to support each other, I would rethink the friendship. 🤞💝

What a nasty 'friend' she is. How does she explain all the thousands of women out there who didn't know they were pregnant and suddenly give birth?

Your friend is being a total arse. She doesn’t sound like much of a friend really, if she’s saying that to you??

I did have some symptoms leading up to the missed period but not everyone does. I did have twins though, I never know if that kicked things in to gear quickly. Every single pregnancy is different, even with the same woman. Good luck, OP.

Had very few symptoms for both pregnancies and didn't know until 16 weeks with my second.

I had zero symptoms with DS (he was a very long awaited IVF baby so I was on high alert too). If it wasn't an IVF pregnancy I wouldn't have tested until well past my period being due. I continued symptoms free through the whole of the first trimester and into the second, a bump and feeling movements were my only 2nd trimester signs then indigestion in the last few weeks.

I was absolutely convinced I had either falsely willed a positive test into existence or that I was going to miscarry as I was totally without sensation of being pregnant. My friend who was a few weeks ahead of me had every symptom in the book (and some that weren't). We are all different.

She’s annoying and stupid.

That is all.

I had no symptoms, other than achy boobs for the whole first 16 weeks ish until I started to show! There was no way I could have known without testing. I think often people don't talk about this because it seems like bragging that you didn't have morning sickness... (Mind you, the PGP in the third trimester made it for it, so no smugness here!) Wishing you well with your TTC/IVF.

I had really sore boobs and heartburn before my positive tests, my friend went to 5 months twice without realising! You could absolutely still be pregnant, why is your best friend so negative?

Yeah she’s talking shit!
I didn’t ‘notice’ any symptoms prior to being late with AF but then when I looked back after a positive test I was like “well, I was a bit tired and I did break out with a big cold sore” things that weren’t out of the ordinary and wouldn’t necessarily be related to a pregnancy anyway!
Fingers crossed OP

Everyone is different and so are their symptoms or lack of them.

I hope you are pregnant or are very soon.

I had no symptoms at all until 8 weeks, and even then it was only tiredness. Fingers crossed for you! x

Yeah I second PP, your friend is a moron.

Good luck OP, everything is crossed for you x

When we were 19 me and my friend were going night clubs and drinking.
One night she said that she had pains in her tummy. We went back to her house
and her mum thought it was appendicitis took her to hospital.
Next morning her mum phoned me to say my friend had given birth to a girl.

Fingers crossed for you. Ignore your friend.

I didn't know until week 23 . At week 22 I was chasing suspects ( and caught him! ) then got back to the car and threw up . No symptoms at all . And in fact none for the subsequent 4 for at least 14 weeks either .

Hi OP.

I’d guess that most miss a period first. Don’t go by the TTC threads on here as people actively TTC will be symptom spotting - but remember the second half of the menstrual cycle is progesterone dominant anyway so tricks the body into thinking its pregnant therefore many ‘pregnancy’ symptoms are simply premenstrual ones often. So it’s kind of a confirmation bias. I only noticed I felt arguably a bit rough one day because I was also TTC. If I wasn’t, I probably wouldn’t have even noticed I didn’t feel 100% myself.

Wishing you the very best with this round. I’d possibly be selective with what I share with this friend as she doesn’t sound terribly understanding. I get some people are blunt and shoot from the hip and candour certainly has its place but on this occasion you need encouragement. And frankly what she has said is simply not true!

3 people I know for passed 20 weeks without knowing. She is talking bollocks..

No way, I could have easily got to 7 weeks without knowing I was pregnant!

Even longer if I was someone that was often a bit tired and nauseous regularly.

You are definitely right. With my first I didn't have a clue until 6 weeks when I started throwing up. WIth my second I had a lot more symptoms but it was more planned so I think I was also looking for them/guessing a bit/hoping. Good luck, I hope this is your month x

I didn’t have any symptoms even at 6 weeks pregnant!!
