Anyone NOT feel that bad during the first trimester?

I'm currently 11+3 and nervously awaiting my 12 week scan next week when I will be 12+1.

For the most part of the last few weeks I have felt fine apart from the odd feeling of nausea, weakness, dizziness here and there, usually when hungry.

For the last few days these occasions have been fewer which is causing me concern. I feel tired still but could argue that I usually do due to a knackering job anyway.

I keep reading about missed miscarriages in mumsnet and it must be such an awful, devastating thing to go though and I'm petrified that it will happen to me next week. Everyone else at my stage on here seems to be feeling awful and I just wish I had some sort of physical sign that it was all going ok. I realise those ladies will probably read this and think "fuck off you whiny little bitch!" but honestly I would take physical torture to reduce the mental torture slightly any day ;-)

I constantly try to reassure myself by focusing on the positives - I've had no spotting/bleeding at all throughout this pregnancy and i saw a healthy baby with a good heartbeat at 8 weeks at a private scan.

Are there others that havent felt that bad during the first trimester? Or did you feel awful but start feeling better about 11 weeks? Should I be concerned that I seem to feel completely fine this early on?

Thanks for reading my mumblings ;-)

I felt absolutely fine though out first and second trimester - really no signs of being pregnant at all, apart from the expanding waistline. It's really only been in the last ten days or so (am now 33 weeks) that I've been feeling a bit more achey than usual and suffering from indigestion. I completely know what you mean about it making you anxious - I was the same and this was made worse by not even feeling any movements til 22 weeks! But if you can, enjoy it and be thankful you're not suffering!

Hi I'm 21 weeks and have very little in way of symptoms. Have a bump now and the odd sensation but to be honest never really sure what it is wind or baby or neither. No sickness for me at all perhaps ten minutes of feeling slightly queasy. Tired and have SPd but that's more to do with a separate medical condition. I still don't feel pregnant unless I'm having a scan and tbh I'm also very Envy of those who feel baby move and feel pregnant. Each time I have a scan I don't sleep the night before convinced I'm not going to have a baby in there but each time I do and I'm proven wrong :) so don't fret Grin

This is a much needed thread for me - am 6 wks pg with my second and, apart from the odd waves of nausea (tackled by eating) and tiredness/out of breath if I do too much, oh, and vaguely sore boobs, I'm pretty much normal. For me this is a big freak out as with my first pg I had horrendous morning sickness, well, all day bloody sickness. I threw up soooooooooo much, had to have the emergency doctor out twice for meds, nearly hospitalised. I felt dreadful and slept most of the time. Tbh I'm quite relieved as I've got a toddler to deal with this time round but it has me worried!

I was mostly fine with my second little boy. Felt really good from around eight weeks onwards. Crap now tho with DC3. There are loads of women who are lucky and have no yucky side effects. No matter how yucky you feel and how many kids you have you still go into that 12 week scan wondering if there is anything there. Enjoy it! Smile

I felt fine throughout most of my pregnancy with DS, except for getting more tired than usual. I didn't really have any proper symptoms, other than missing periods, until he was big enough for me to feel him kicking.

As I recall, What to Expect When You're Expecting said that 75% of women get morning sickness - which means that 1 out of every 4 pregnant women don't feel sick.

I was totally fine both times. I never once had any nausea at all, and only had a general feeling of tiredness. I had a brief day of spotting, but it turned out to be something unrelated to my pregnancy. The doctor told me that I had two of the easiest pregnancies she'd ever seen. I hope the same for you.

I felt fine all the way through the first trimester, bar the very occasional feeling slightly nauseous, and a horrible metallic taste in my mouth.

Different stroked for different folks, try not to worry!
