6 weeks 2 days pregnant - should my symptoms be coming and going?

[jengrace84]

Hi everyone,

I have never posted on one of these before but I feel I need some support because I am worrying a lot. I had a mmc at 9 weeks early this year where my symptoms just stopped and when they scanned me they said the baby was the right size but there was no heart beat.
We have been lucky enough to get pregnant again but I am terrified and keep thinking about my symptoms all the time. I have some symptoms of being tired (although for some reason the past two nights I have not been able to sleep for some reason) and sore boobs. I know it sounds sad but about 4 days ago I felt so queezy and sick (I wasnt sick) and I was so excited to feel pregnanr! I couldnt see or smell food without gagging and even the smell of my flat made me feel sick I was so sensitive. It eased off yesterday and today I have no sickness and have been able to eat two normal meals without wanting to be sick. Is it normal for sickness to come and go? I am so worried that my symptoms are just stopping and it is all going to happen again so I would love to hear from you with any advice! I am 6 weeks and 2 days and I am terrified!

Thanks everyone.

Hi jengrace84. Post! Thats what we are here for! I can sympathise - I am 6 weeks today and also very worried!
All my symptoms have come and gone and come back again in varying degrees over the last few weeks. Yesterday I wolfed down my lunch and a huge dinner (the best meal I have had in weeks) and today I am struggling to keep down a yoghurt.

Bear in mind some people don't even get sick at all! However I know how reassuring it is to have any signs!

When it comes to pregnancy no two people are the same, so try not to worry. I haven't had any morning sickness, and of the people I know more didn't than did, so you sound like you might just be one of us lucky ones. Good luck.

thank you both. They did offer me an early scan but I have decided to try and wait it out for another week or so as my GP told me that I could go and see a heartbeat but that doesnt mean that things would be OK and if I could it would be better to wait it out.
Photochick - congratulations on your pregnancy. Sorry to hear you are feeling a bit green today but like you say it is nice to have some signs (even if they are horrible) to reassure you. I have to say so far I have been pretty shattered all the time and big sore boobs that wont go away. Over the past few days especially I have noticed small waves of lower back aches and almost period type aches but milder, I guess that is just things stretching and growing - have you had them at all?

Hey Jen, yes it is totally normal for symptoms to come and go, I found I felt more nauseous when I was tired for example. Try not to worry about the variation in your symptoms day to day if you can. Sorry for your mmc, that must have been tough and I can understand your anxiety this time round. Hope all goes well for you this time.

big sore boobs - tick
exhausted - tick
nausea - tick, comes and goes, worse when tired.
mild period like pains - tick (these have been the worst for me as expect AF to show up anytime). They come and go too. Yes, I belive its things stretching and adjusting.
I agree with Lilly - trying not to focus too much on small changes. Stay positive and try not to get too stressed x

I'm in exactly the same boat as you! 6 weeks and 2 days. Have been feeling v v sick all day for the last 3 days in a row and too tired to motivate myself to do anything! Then today I have felt almost totally normal and had a very productive day!

I'm seven weeks today.

On Tuesday, it was all I could to stay awake in the morning, and I failed in the afternoon - sat down on the sofa while my daughter watched a DVD and woke up 45 minutes later. Same story Wednesday.
Both days, constant headache, nausea and slight dizziness.
Yesterday - wouldn't have known I was pregnant. Managed 3 hours voluntary work in the morning, no sleep at lunchtime, and a walk on the moor in the afternoon complete with jumping off small hills hand in hand with toddler.
Today, slept until 9.00, lay in bed drinking tea and eating toast and biscuits brought up by DH in a failed bid to ward off the nausea, feeling exhausted and like death warmed up.

I know what you mean about wanting to feel pregnant - it helps you to feel that there is something there (the something hopefully being a baby!) and everything is fine, somehow, doesn't it? Like, while you feel ill then the baby is doing what it should. So you worry a bit when you feel fine (maybe something's wrong, or maybe the test was wrong and I was never pregnant to start with, just had a bit of a virus...)
But it is so deeply unpleasant to feel crap. It's a real conflict of emotions to feel worried about feeling good!

Who would be a woman hey? I know I need to feel more positive but it is impossible when your symptoms change and I cant help but to wonder if it is normal or if it means I am having another missed misscarriage. Its so reassuring to hear that other people are experiencing the same though. I didnt really have any symptoms with the last pregnancy and the GP reassured me that feeling sick is positive as it means your hormone levels are rising. I guess I am just really tired and hormonal and I keep letting the crazy thoughts take over my head - I have spent most of the day thinking, why couldnt the GP have phoned me today because I didnt mention abdominal aches to her yesterday. Its so silly isnt it. I also keep checking that my boobs are still sore too - oh my god I need putting down!

Hi guys . I am 6 weeks for the first week I was feeling sick sore ect . But now it has gone but then come back to days later it's hard to no what's going on because again they have gone . I have a scan this week so I guess I will no more then .

Hey Jengrace84, I can sympathize with you.
I am currently 5 weeks and 6 days and I have an early scan this Friday.

In the beginning, I was nauseous and my breast were completely sore, today? I even question if I am pregnant. I have no symptoms, regarding nausea and soreness. I feel like they all disappeared.

My mind is racing and in hopes everything will turn out okay this upcoming Friday. I feel like this early scan will definitely put my mind at ease and allow me to feel comfortable to let close family members know, if all turns out well (as of now, only my self and my OH are aware of the pregnancy).

I did have some heavy cramping yesterday (no blood) which did not help with my stress levels but my OBGYN did say that it is completely normal to feel pregnant one day and not the next. Also, cramping is normal in early pregnancy.

I have heard many successful stories of women who had experience this early on and went on to have a full term pregnancies.

Maybe it is just the motherly instinct in us to worry! ha

Sending positivity your way, since it does us no good to worry so much.
