Reassurance/Info needed please!

Hi, I'm 4.5 weeks pregnant with DC3. With dd i didn't know I was pregnant til 7 weeks when I got really sick. With ds I knew at 4 weeks but didn't get sick til 6 weeks. I wasn't expecting to feel anything much until 6 weeks but felt really awful on Fri. I also have had tender breasts and fatigue but since sat am I haven't really had any symptoms except feeling my womb. I'm a bit worried as I seem to have stopped having any symptoms. Did a digital test yesterday to make sure I hadn't made the whole thing up in my head and it said pregnant and put me at 2-3 weeks since conception which is right for my dates. So is it normal to have symptoms some days and not others? I have a huge amount of anxiety which doesn't seem logical to me but I can't help. It comes over me in waves sometimes which suggest to me that my hormones are going nuts? I just need a little reassurance I think, I feel really stupid being this worried.

Please, anyone?

Yes, I think it's nomal. I never had any symptoms at all at that stage.

Thank you for replying. Been reading about paranoia in pregnancy on another website and I think it's probably hormones making me feel paranoid. Also my sister had a mmc a few months ago which was really upsetting for the whole family so I think this is affecting me too. Thanks for the reassurance though.

hiya pop, i knew as soon as af was due, sore boobs and just a feeling of sickness.

I'm not sure that was helpful, bitchyfanny.

I think your worries are perfectly normal, given the circustances of your sisters recent miscarriage. We all apply recent events to our own perceptions of our own lives. Of course we do. If your mum had just died of skin cancer and you found a mole on the back of your hand, you would think "oh shit." Of course you would. That doesn't mean you are paranoid. Just worried. We all worry about our babies -- whether or not they have yet been born.

Get an ipod with some nice music and go for a walk. Exercise is good for you. Or have a bath. (unless you are at work)

beg my pardon athenenactua sorry if i have offended you pop. i have had 4 normal successful pregnancies, some with slight symptoms and some with none at all. if you are really that worried maybe see your gp and arrange for an early scan. wishing you well, and again sorry i didnt answer properly in the 1st place.

Hi Popadopalis it is completely normal to vary in how sick you feel when you are pregnant, some days worse than others, some days better than others. I didn't feel any sickness at all with my first pregnancy and I am about to take the result of that one to school. The second one I felt sick some days and had an MC, the third one I felt sick most days early on and that one is in the kitchen causing mayhem. My last pregnancy I felt the most sick and that ended in an MC. With each one I remember having good days and bad days. It really does vary. And it is completely natural to worry when you feel less 'pregnant' than other days. And I even used to worry that my worrying was bad for the pregnancy and posted a post on MN once about the risk of too much worrying! Please be reassured you are normal and your worrying is normal and it is normal to feel sicker some days than others. Take care of yourself
