Hi all,

I'm sure this is a frequent thread topic, but it would be great if you could share your experiences with me. I am 8 weeks pregnant with my first and have experienced a total loss of symptoms for several days now. My boobs were very sore but now feel normal, I was exhausted but again now feel normal, and the slight nausea/food aversion I felt has totally gone. I had a small bleed at 6 weeks that never really came to anything significant and following that did have very sore boobs again and a bit of nausea. I had my booking in appointment today and whilst the midwife was lovely, she just said sometimes it means something, sometimes it doesn't. I understand she can't give me a clear answer, but I feel a bit lost. Husband can't understand why I am not being more positive, but with the exception of one person I know, every single friend of mine has had a miscarriage, and I just feel that looming in my mind all the time. So, now I have convinced myself I have had a MMC. I think I've gone nuts. I know I should be glad I'm not like some of the poor ladies on here with my head down the toilet, but just feeling nothing is so difficult!

Has anyone else experienced a total loss of all symptoms? And has anyone else reached this level of nuttiness?! Thank you!

I no were your coming from I'm currently 8 weeks 5 days and when I hit the 8 week mark I had nothing morning sickness was minimal but only started from 7 and half weeks my nipples were not as sore, I'd come across the conclusion I had a mmc and I'm still thinking it at the moment, but today I've had to call in sick to work because I can't keep anything down up until now I've had 3 days on 3 days off so I'm hoping that sticks I've got my 12 week scan 12th september the day after I get back from spain I've tried to kick it out my mind but yeah today my nipples and boobs don't hurt atall I'm being really positive so many peopple said its happened to them it will be back

The only symptoms I had at all were tiredness weeks 6-8 accompanied by sore and growing boobs. All fine at 12 weeks scan. Bump has popped out this week and heard heartbeat today. 17+2.

I was exactly the same, had sore boobs for a few days then nothing. I was convinced I'd go o for my 12 week scan and there'd be nothing in there! Everything was fine, I'm 32 weeks now with a seemingly happy, healthy baby Smile

I was exactly the same. Total loss of symptoms about 9 weeks with my first. Paniced so much and eventually had a private scan.

All was fine!

I really feel for you as I was the same, I found myself longing for morning sickness! I had very sore boobs very early on in the pregnancy but that went after a few days and after that I didn't feel at all pregnant until I started getting a bump. Those first weeks make you feel like a crazy person, I didn't sleep the night before my first scan as I was convinced something would be wrong. So both the loss of symptoms and nuttiness are totally normal, I hope everything goes well for you :)

I lost my symptoms with my daughter at 9 weeks. I was convinced it was bad news but I was just lucky. I booked a private scan and all was ok. Can you afford a private scan to set your mind at ease?

i was also the same, and have been virtually symptom free throughout my pregnancy (am now 33 weeks). Its a very strange feeling and can be as worrying as having lots of symptoms, but my advice is try to enjoy it.

I have felt guilty when pregnant friends have listed their symptoms and ailments and colleagues have asked 'hows your back' or 'over your morning sickness' and I've replied that i haven't had any. But i count myself very lucky that its all been so straightforward so far.

I now get a bit tire (but my iron levels were amazing according to my midwife) and have a healthy growing baby wriggling around.

Try to stay positive and not be too daunted by it all.
