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

Other than missed periods and a bump I’m someone who wouldn’t never have known I was pregnant until I gave birth. I never felt anything out of the ordinary.

Same here, In the early days I would have to actually remind myself that I was pregnant when DH cracked open a bottle of wine! No symptoms whatsoever.

My mum was five months pregnant with her first before she discovered she was pregnant. Everyone is different

Infertility is a dreadful thing to go through, and having your hopes shattered all the time is really draining and demoralising. I just want to say to you - any shred of hope you feel, cling to it and don’t listen to people who have no idea how painful it is to never have seen 2 lines. Wishing you all of the best, OP! Hoping a precious little one joins your family really soon xxx

Your friend is wrong. With DD I knew before I missed a period but with DS I only realised at 12 weeks.

I was well into month 4 before I knew. I always had very irregular periods and was using a coil.

Technically, you are not pregnant before you've missed your first period (even if everything is aligning biologically to make it so) so no you don't know, or have any proper signs before you are even biologically pregnant.

(I do believe some women "know" or have the gut instinct it has happened but I feel this is more on an emotional/spiritual level and not really the norm).

Women can get to 6 months or full term without even realising they are pregnant so of course you don't know so early. Please don't worry at all, if it's going to happen it will happen.

I didn't know until 4 months with DC3, I was still breastfeeding DC2 and periods hadn't returned. I didn't feel sick with any of mine.

I had LOADS of symptoms with my first pregnancy, I knew I was pregnant before even testing

My second my period was 3 weeks late and I thought it was just doing one of its random not turning up things as it did sometimes, I had not one symptom.

good luck 🍀

Fingers crossed for you! My parents friend went into labour without knowing she was pregnant so definitely a possibility to not know! I also had no symptoms though my entire pregnancy except being the size of a bus. No sickness, fatigue, cravings - nothing. Good luck x

I didn’t have any symptoms at all for my whole pregnancy. We are all different

Well my mums carer almost had her baby in my mother's bathroom. She didn't have a bump (she was about two stone overweight but also tall), bled monthly throughout and any pains or niggles she put down to her usual cycle. She felt poorly that day and went to the bathroom... next stop the hospital where she had a lovely little girl!

My friend gave birth at work. We were waitresses in about 1990. She had no clue she was pregnant no symptoms and regrettably no idea who the father might be! We were 17 and away from home for the first time, so it's perfectly fair to say you might not know.

I'm currently 7 weeks. I had absolutely no symptoms until about a week after my missed period. Ignore her. Everyone's different

Do you really think billions and billions of babies have been conceived with exactly the same symptoms? Every experience is different, yours might be without symptoms. Your friend is a fool and should be quiet and supportive if she doesn't know what she's talking about!

the symptoms i had before my missed period were also symptoms of a period soooooo how does she explain that

I had every symptom imaginable and I knew before I even did the test, however I also know that other peoples experiences are different, I know people who’ve never had a whiff of nausea, some who’ve had periods even though they were pregnant and one woman who didn’t even know she was pregnant until about 8 months despite being a size 6!

I had zero symptoms and combined with a bleed every 28 days and no weight gain etc didn't know I was pregnant until 6 months.

I had zero symptoms with my first apart from the lack of periods.

I had no symptoms at all with my son, all the way until 36 weeks when my ankles swelled a bit from moving house. I started to get a bit achey around then, too. I never had nausea, sickness, tiredness, sore boobs, etc.

Totally different this time around 😅

She's wrong. Perhaps it was true for her, but it's not a rule by any means.

First time I knew before my period was due though couldn't have pointed at any symptoms but my body just felt different. Second and third times had no idea until I tested.

YANBU. I was nervous that at my 12 week scan it would turn out that I wasn't pregnant, because I didn't have morning sickness, I didn't have a bump, and had no other symptoms. I felt like a fraud even though I had had a positive test. That baby is currently sitting on the sofa searching for University Open days.

I had very few symptoms with DD2 as well.

Exactly this!!

P.S. Another person here who had ZERO symptoms before missed AF (two pregnancies). Your friend is talking out her 🍑

0 symptoms for me, I found out when my period didn't come. Had no idea, wasn't trying for a baby (I was a teenager) and drank alcohol a lot in the first couple of weeks. I actually got extremely drunk on one occasion.

I continued to have no symptoms for the entire first trimester, and convinced myself I must have had a false positive until I had my first scan.

Had a bit of morning sickness in the second trimester and then some cravings but aside from that nothing. No sore boobs, didn't feel particularly tired.

Not true. Some people only discover they are pregnant when they go into into labour. Very rare but true (not me!).

Very insensitive of your friend. I didn't have symptoms until my period was late, then tiredness and nausea from about 5 weeks
