To ask those of you who had minimal pregnancy symptoms for some reassurance!

Please

I’m 7+5 with my first after an early loss at 5 weeks last year (which I was completely fine and pragmatic about after a day, these things happen) but seem to be not really suffering in the way I’d expected, and against my usual sense it makes me worry something’s wrong.

Had a bit of a woozy/hungover feeling and some tiredness in the afternoons on and off, boobs have been a bit sore but also on and off, mostly I feel fine. No vomiting, no feeling awful. The lockdown means my days are much easier so that might be helping, perhaps I’d feel worse if I was still commuting into London daily?!

My DM said she never had any sickness in pregnancy and felt generally fine too, so maybe it’s genetic, but I think most of us think pregnant = sick so it’s hard not to read into it. My BF has thrown up constantly throughout all her pregnancies so that’s the closest example I have.

I’ve been searching old posts to see others experiences as I know we’re all different, but still feeling a bit on edge! I’d love to hear from others who also felt fine but everything was ok.

I mainly felt hungover for the first few weeks (I actually didn't realise I was pregnant because I just assumed it was related to my wine consumption...) but was never sick, never felt very tired, never needed to wee a lot. Right up to the end of my pregnancy, I felt fine (other than heavy). The day before I gave birth, I walked 12,000+ steps and went for a swim. I basically had the easiest pregnancy known to man! DS is now 7 months.

I wasn’t sick once during pregnancy. Just maybe a bit foggy and a biscuit would help.

2 dc here and I was never sick nor did I have any of the "normal " pregnancy symptoms. Basically 2 dream pregnancys and 2 very simple quick births. 1st was just under 4 hours and the 2nd was 45 minutes.
No tairs, stitches or any other complications.
I'm not bragging, I rarely tell people because they get funny about it, but don't worry about it some of us are just very lucky and tend not to talk about it the way people who have complications or bad symptoms do

I was 24 weeks pregnant before I even realised! I did feel very tired (around 13 weeks I guess) which I put down to work. And felt sick a few times but nothing awful and I wasn't actually sick.

I found out at about 5 weeks because I missed my period and they were always very regular but I would have had no idea otherwise. I had zero symptoms for the first trimester and when I went for my first scan I was convinced that there would be nothing on the scan as I didn't feel pregnant at all.

Morning sickness did kick in for me at about 14 weeks annoyingly!

No sickness with either of my pregnancies (two boys), felt nauseous with second but soon passed. All the best OP!

I had no symptoms apart from getting bigger, kicking and later heartburn. My mother was most put out that I wasn’t sick morning noon and night like she was.

I felt fine throughout my first trimester and I had 2 growing so very high hormones

I had no symptoms at all for my first trimester. My husband will day I was grumpy, but I get grumpy anyway 😆 I was very anxious because you read about morning sickness and tiredness, sore boobs etc. I had nothing. Everything turn out fine. I didn’t really have many symptoms for the whole of my pregnancy. I had mild cravings, nothing different to everyday food wants. And towards the end I got carpal tunnel syndrome. But that’s it. Don’t worry 😍

All of them are different OP. I've been a range of absolutely fine, feeling even better than normal to throwing up my guts every two seconds.

One thing I always seem to get is sore boobs but they come and go and only really hurt in the mornings, usually gone by afternoon.

I didn’t have any morning sickness or tiredness until 14 weeks - and that was with twins!

No sickness, slightly tender breasts at about 8+ weeks. Sensitivity to smells later in my pregnancies.

That's it really.

I knew of two people ever that suffered the constant sickness feeling. Really awful. But rare in my experience.

Best of luck.

I wasn't sick during either of my pregnancies. I had a metallic taste for about a day before I tested +ve for dc2, I had a bit of tiredness and sore boobs in the early days for both, but that was it.

Sore boobs and feeling tired (first trimester) are classic symptoms of being pg.

You’re not ‘supposed’ to feel awful!

I was never sick, and only fleetingly experienced nausea (top deck of a diesel smelling bus).

Congratulations! Good luck!

I had barely any symptoms at all other than being knackered until about 18 weeks when I developed SPD. Combined with occasional spotting until 20 weeks I was a wreck both times, but both were perfectly fine thankfully!

I was never sick.

The only thing that made me nauseous was the Sainsbury’s in our town because the fish counter smelled. I still don’t like going into the store, decades later.

Perfectly normal. I was sick as a dog until 25 weeks, my sister who was pregnant at the same time felt completely normal all the way through. So much so she phoned to complain she didnt feel ill enough... needless to say that phone call didnt go down well! She gave birth to a healthy whopper of a baby boy. Take it easy and congrats 🎉

I have been pregnant eight times, not all successful.

I had very little in the way of symptoms during one of the pregnancies that resulted in a missed miscarriage but I had every symptom going during the second pregnancy I also miscarried. I had no symptoms at all with my DD’s who are perfectly healthy but again, every symptom going with my DS’s.

If you lose symptoms very suddenly that can be a worrying sign but not having any from the beginning isn’t really overly concerning.

I didn't have any symptoms really apart from feeling a bit tired/off early on (kinda felt a bit like jetlag!) and heartburn which started at 14 weeks or so. Otherwise, apart from the rapidly expanding bump, it was business as normal!

Oh and I only actually physically vomited during my first pregnancy with my eldest DS, I vomited at least five times a day until 16 weeks. Didn’t vomit in any of my subsequent pregnancies.

I never had any sickness in either pregnancy. Very slight queasiness in pregnancy 1 but not a problem. Very tired in the evenings and sore boobs early on. Heartburn later in the pregnancy. But that was it. Two very healthy pregnancies and healthy babies born full term, normal births.

I had no symptoms with my son other than feeling a bit tired. Had a great pregnancy and easy quick birth (which I felt I deserved after multiple losses before him). I’m pregnant again and have had lots of sickness this time - I promise - if you feel fine you are lucky! Enjoy it!

No symptoms until heartburn kicked in in the last trimester. I was sick twice in pregnancy - immediately after my glucose tolerance test and on trying gas and air in the delivery room. I know I was lucky and I was grateful that I didn't suffer from any major symptoms but it was a worry to not have any actual sense of being pregnant especially as I'd taken 8 years and multiple rounds of IVF to get pregnant. All was fine and the little lack of symptoms will celebrate his 10 birthday next month.

Aside from a huge cravings for apples, a missed period, one morning where my breasts were killing me, and two seperate instants of nausea which passed as quickly as they came, I had no symptoms during my first trimester. I remember doing my first post on here about it actually.

I think it's more common actually than people think, you read all these possible pregnancy symptoms, then have none and the worry sets in. I did three different tests in the first trimester just to keep checking I was still pregnant. Did have a lot of dreams about miscarrying, but then again when I got married last year I kept having dreams I woke up on the morning of the wedding and hadnt bought my wedding dress underwear, so take from that what you will.

But in all seriousness, it should be ok. Keep doing tests if it puts your mind at rest, like I did. congratulations on your pregnancy. :D

No sickness with either pregnancy. Just tired with sore boobs. Two healthy little boys who are currently wrecking my house! Horrible SPD, but that came later. I know it’s hard, but try not to worry too much. As the responses show here, it’s not uncommon.
