Anyone else due soon and managed to avoid a lot of 'typical' pregnancy symptoms?

[Heatherbell1978]

I'm 35 weeks and aside from 1st trimester nausea and tiredness, have had a problem free pregnancy to the point I'm worried that not having some symptoms means something is wrong. I have a wee bit of carpal tunnel in my left hand just now but nothing too bad. I don't pee anymore than usual and never have, so no night time visits to the toilet and I don't have any heartburn. I'm worried this means the baby is quite small and not putting pressure on my bladder? MW appointment tomorrow so will ask her but I'm just wondering if anyone else is the same?

I've had a quite medicated pregnancy and been watched like a hawk and baby is normal/average at every milestone.
Bar sickness and tiredness to start with I have just had a touch of leg cramp and hard poo the whole time. Of course I've probably jinxed it now and will wake up tomorrow with hands like rubber gloves full of air!

My mum is super fertile and reports never having had any symptoms (including when carrying twins) or indeed period pains in her life. Some people are just jammy!

With DC1 I had the full works - constantly up in the night to pee the whole way through; dreadful heartburn, back pain, rib pain, swollen hands and ankles on top of bad morning sickness. Just a hard pregnancy. Baby was 8lb12.

With DC2 I had horrendous sickness up until about 20 weeks, then nothing. Didn't need to pee more, no aches and pains, no heartburn, no swelling. I felt brilliant from around 20 weeks until he was born at 39 weeks. The second half was so easy. Baby was 8lb10.

Now on DC3 and have had the same awful sickness, plus the heartburn is starting....

Funnily enough Squizita my mum is also super fertile (I'm 1 of 4) and had easy pregnancies and easy births. She often tells me how she went into labour with my youngest bro and decided to go shopping to get 'last minute' things, went into hospital a few hours later, and he just 'fell out' with no mw around (tmi!!). I fell pregnant very quickly too so am assuming I'm quite fertile, wonder if it's all linked......

Yeah my mum says things like "People do make a fuss about birthing twins, they made me have an epidural ..." and "the thing about big babies is in for a penny, in for a pound - stitches are stitches..."
She is very calm about the whole making a baby thing.
I'm scared as anything!

I've hardly had anything (currently 29+4). No sickness in the first trimester, not really weeing much more than normal yet - have had a minor case of the cankles when in Greece on holiday but wasn't really any less comfortable in the heat than normal. However, having it easy so far makes me constantly paranoid that something truly terrible is lurking around the corner (currently preparing myself for a traumatic labour experience)

I too have had it fairly easy so far. At 30 weeks I dot have quite as much energy as usual but still sleeping ok, no need to pee through the night, ankles/wrists still a usual size, no morning sickness... Odd leg cramps in the night and mainlining gaviscon doesn't seem too bad!

Like petitverdot, am wondering what horrors lie in store to balance this out.... God awful birth, non-sleeping baby, anyone?!

I got off easily too. Some nausea (but no puking) and tiredness in the first tri. One night of indigestion and one of heartburn later on. Started feeling a bit heavy and slow at 30+ weeks but until then was walking loads and swimming. I had a small amount of swelling of hands and feet also at 30+ weeks but it went away. I've generally felt quite good and all the standard midwife tests (BP, urine, bloods) have been fine.

I got off less easily on the serious stuff. I had a terrifying 3 week long heavy crampy bleed in the first tri and now (33 weeks) my placenta is failing so my baby will be delivered prematurely by section (my worst nightmare as I have a fear of hospitals). So I'll never know how I would have fared in the later weeks!

I had an easy pregnancy, just tiredness in first trimester, no sickness or anything else and worked up to 39 weeks.

I was also lucky to hav a quick labour (less than 24hrs from first contraction to birth).

no problems with baby, he was 6lb 11 and perfect.
