Hi everyone

Im new to the forum and just found out i was pregnant about a week ago!! I took two home tests - one clearblue which said i was 3+ weeks pregnant ! Me and my husband are so pleased and i have wrked out that i actually may be almost 8 weeks, but they thing is i just dont feel any different.. i havnt noticed any signs or symptoms of early pregnancy?! The only thing was that i had cramps (like period pain) during the night the day before i took the tests, im starting to think the tests must be wrong?! is this normal?
Thank you for your help
Maya

Congratulations on your news!!

I didn't have any symptoms at all until about 7 weeks - don't think it is that unusual. And I have been pretty sick: a lot of people don't get any sickness, and then I guess there'd not be much to go on!

Congrats! I think that I got bigger boobs at approx 6 weeks and then tiredness and then sickness from 8-16 weeks. Most aren't actually sick but just nauseous (SP?). Most get tired though.

Also - gassy, sore boobs, changes in skin, bloating, heartburn might all be experienced.

I think everyone is just very different so I wouldn't worry. A couple of my friends had no symptoms at all. I am 7 weeks and have felt exhausted and sick for a week now. It's pretty awful so just think yourself one of the lucky ones and try not to worry!

Hi and congratulations! I was around 8 weeks when i found out. Before that id been really tired and had sore boobs but assumed that was af coming. If the clearblue digi says 3+ then your hcg levels must be rising. Good luck and congratulations again x x

Hi. Congratulations!

I took a test on Xmas eve and found it was positive. Huge surprise and very excited ?? as we've been ttc for almost 6 years and had almost given up. I reckon I'm 6 weeks +1 day today, and have a docs appointment on Monday. Hoping they'll do a scan to reassure me everything is ok as, like you other than light cramps/pulling sensations in weeks 4-5 I've next to no symptoms so far (am sporting rather huge boobies though!).

Good luck!

I found out right away because we were trying, but I had no symptoms other than catching colds very easily, I'm 18 wks now, and I still don't have symptoms, my boobs are the same size and everything. My belly is only very slightly starting to grow, but it I didn't know better I would never guess I was pregnant.

Enjoy e lack of morning sickness, you will have all the other pregnant women around you green with envy (or maybe it's just the morning sickness) Smile
