I spent the first 9 weeks (and the rest..) Googling 'no symptoms' on a daily basis because I felt so 'normal'. Overall, I had a fairly mild hangover feeling most evenings, a tiny bit of nausea occasionally and sometimes a bad taste in my mouth. And I gagged a total of three times. No vomiting, no fatigue. Boob changes were my only really significant symptom, but compared to what others were going through, I was convinced I was making it all up. But it's so common! And so understandable to be concerned.
I had a private reassurance scan at 9 weeks and was shocked to see this thing with a beating heart. Then shocked again at 12+3 to see how much bigger it had got. On Saturday last week, I was a little less shocked to hear the heartbeat for the first time.
It's so hard to be patient, but it's really all you can do. Private scan if you can afford it, which will give you a bit of peace of mind - but you need the patience too. And most of all, I looked at the stats and kept telling myself that along with them, the fact that I had no pain and no bleeding, that I had far fewer reasons to suspect that something was wrong, than I did to think that things were really ok.
I still can't quite believe there's a whole central nervous system, brain, bloodstream, stomach, spine, functioning being inside me when I am largely blissfully unaware - but apparently there is.
Hang in there, Lucy!
