So worried about this pregnancy-loss of symptoms at 8 weeks

Hi, I don't know if anyone else has any experience of this but I am 8 weeks pregnant and have lost all the symptoms I was having. I no longer feel sick, my boobs feel normal again, and I don't need to wee all the time anymore. I had hyperemesis in my 1st pregnancy and was sick the whole time. I'm really worried about having a miscarriage. Does anyone know whether I should be worried?

Unfortunately nobody will be able to tell you what's happening. It's one of those situations where you need to give it time. However the boobs and weeing all the time are symptoms which do naturally recede. I certainly remember painful boobs only lasting for the first couple of weeks. The sickness - well that's so unpredictable. I was sick in every pregnancy but I know lots of people who have varied hugely and very often people aren't as ill with subsequent pregnancies.
I assume you're not bleeding and have no abdominal pain? If you develop either then get to the GP to ask for an eary scan and otherwise I guess you just need to wait it out. Sadly if things have gone wrong then there is nothing that you or anybody could do to help. For today you are pregnant and there's no reason to suppose that's going to change. Good luck - I really hope everything is ok.

Hi there! My first pregnancy I had my boobs tender throughout the whole pregnancy, they also went two cup sizes up. This time around they were tender on and off up until 6 weeks and now they are just slightly enlarged just like before AF. I am 7w1d today and is going for my early scan in the afternoon. I also hope everything will be ok as I read a lot on pregnancy forums about people loosing their symptoms and breast tenderness early in pregnancy and still having healthy pregnancies. Best of luck for us!

I lost my symptoms at 8 weeks as well. Sadly they came back about about 10 weeks and I'm still being sick now at 13 weeks.

Have had a scan at 12 weeks and everything is fine. Try not to worry (easier said than done!)

Dazed I had a similar thing - I even paid for a private scan at 9 weeks - and got to see a little bean waving its stumpy limbs about. I think its really common - but my sister had a missed miscarriage, so I was really worried.

4 weeks feels a long time to wait for that first 12 week scan doesn't it? I can't guarantee anythign for you - just that there are quite a lot of threads like this - where people are worried about not being sick anymore (instead of enjoying the fact that YAY - they're not being sick anymore!)

Good luck!

Hiya,

i came on here just now to actualy post the same message as you, im 8 +5 weeks pregnant, this time last week i was dying on the couch with no energy, and if anyone dared touch my boobs by accident god help them!

This week though by tuesday morning all had gone, i've been sleeping on my front again, hardly peeing at all, no sickness and i feel absolutely fine, so like you im also freaking out a bit. apart from boobs still a little tender and being exhausted i wouldnt even guess i was pregnant.

I had a reassurance scan at 7 weeks as id had a previous mc, so it was good o see the beans little heartbeat on the screen and made me finally stop panicking a bit, now this has set me back again but im trying to not worry about it and instead enjoy the freedom of watching a cookery prog on tv without throwing up half way through.

Have you had your booking appt yet, to get to meet the midwife? mines not till next thurs, seems like a lifetime away!

I had absolutely no pregnancy symptoms AT ALL when carrying DS. I only did a pregnancy test to prove to DH that I wasn't pregnant. I was gobsmacked when it came up positive! So I just wanted to say that it might not be a bad sign, the lack of symptoms.

I had ALL the symptoms in my previous pregnancy with DD, so carrying DS was a strange and pleasant experience in comparison!
