Reassurance needed!!

[Mandymoo]

I am 7 weeks pregnant with number 2. I had very little sickness/symptoms with dd and had textbook pregnancy/labour (apart from couldnt deliver placenta but never mind!)

Basically, i am now worried that because i'm not really having any major symptoms that there is something terribly wrong and that all is not well. I could sleep for england and am very tired and am having bouts of nausea. But after reading a few things (which i just know i shouldnt) i am now concerned because i'm now throwing up constantly and not feeling like s**t.

Can someone please reassure me that you can still have a healthy pregnancy/labour/birth without having the nasty symptoms at the beginning?

Thanks for bearing with me!! X

I did not throw up once with either of my two. Could also have slept for England.

Yup - I had few symptoms when preg with DS.
No sickness or cravings - just tired at the start. Everything was fine

Ditto. (but I've only had one). Had terrible indigestion, though.

I didnt start feeling sick till about 9/10 weeks this time and it lasted till 16 weeks.

Sorry just read your message again and am tired and have confused myself (not difficult). You say now throwing up?

no Katemum - havent been sick, just having bouts of nausea. Infact i feel almost exactly the same as i did with dd but for some reason every little thing is making me anxious this time around whereas with my first pregnancy i kind of took it in my stride! Also forgot to mention the sore boobs and the fact that i actually have boobs!!

I know - its sounds silly but i almost want to feel crap just so i know i'm pregnant iykwim!!

I'm now going to hide so all the mums to be who DO feel like crap cant come and batter me around the head!!

Have to say, you are only 7 weeks, that morning sickness could be just there waiting for you. Then again you could just have a wonderful easy pregnancy, stop fretting and enjoy it.

Katemum - i know you're right, i'm just fretting over every little thing atm!! Thanks for all your replies XX

Oh and congratulations.

thanks

Congratulations Mandymoo, I slept for 23 out 24 hrs but no other symptoms at all and he is now a healthy 5 month old. I had no problems.

I would enjoy the sleep while you still can.

Mandymoo, I believe that overanxiousness is also a symptom of pregnancy - I've just have my third and I was far more worried about every little thing than I was with my previous two (blissful ignorance!). I'm usually a laid back person and I found it quite disconcerting.

Just bear that in mind next time you feel worried .

Never felt sick. It's not compulsory! Also never felt ill or bad.

Oh, and both my children have three heads and glow in the dark.
(some of this is made up btw)

No i had no sickness or big symptoms with either very early on and 2 healthy pregnancys and labours.
Chill out and get some sleep+

I have never been sick with any of my pregnancies & didn't even feel queasy with DD1.With dd2 I was so symptomless at 7wks that the midwife asked me if I'd actually done a pregnancy test.

Congratulations

Aloah - pmsl!!

Miaou - your message really helped - i usually dont worry about every little thing so i will try to see it as a pregnancy symptom rather than me going completely mad!

Thanks for all your replies - i am now dutifully reassured!!!
