Feeling nervous. Baby 2. No symptoms. 11+5

[Novia]

I know there isn't a correct answer, and I just have to wait for the scan, but wanted to get it down on the page really and see if anyone else has had a similar experience?

I've been feeling increasingly concerned about this pregnancy as I'm now 11+5 and still haven't really had any symptoms.

Admittedly when I was pregnant with DD I didn't have much indication, but I do remember being shattered, starving and having sore boobs. I also remember showing pretty early (I was looking at maternity trousers by 12 weeks). I put on about a stone too.

This time, nothing really. I had sore boobs for a few days a few week ago but that's about it. I can't feel a bump, though my tummy is sticking out a bit (might be my imagination!) and I haven't put any weight on.

I sort of wish I didn't read mumsnet as much as I'd never heard of a mmc first time around and it wasn't in my mind. I've got my scan next Wednesday so I know that's the only thing that will give me an answer. I'm not generally a worrier, so I'm trying not to dwell on it. But finding it hard to be excited as I have this doubt in the back of my mind and I'm concerned that there won't be anything there next week and I'll have to have a procedure and then start ttc all over again (Im 37)...

Has anyone else had a similar experience?

I only had symptoms for a short period of time with my second baby. Totally different from my first. I was convinced that the ultrasound was going to show an unsuccessful pregnancy.

Had ultrasound. Two perfect healthy babies!

You just can't tell!

Every person and every pregnancy is different I had no symptoms whatsoever and it turned out to be a mmc for me but my sil had no symptoms either and she had a healthy baby

I'm 37 and 9 weeks with my first. I'd give anything to feel sick or tired, just a tiny wave of nausea, PLEASE!! Terrified of the scan next week, even though we saw a hb at 6 weeks, but everyone here has been great at reassuring me that no symptoms is just as normal.

I have also been Bad and googled nonstop; conclusion is that yes it can happen, so nothing is going to stop us worrying totally, but there's a huge number of ladies out there who had no symptoms and had lovely healthy babies! X

Thanks all - at least I'll get confirmation on Wednesday one way or another. Fingers crossed. Rx

I am 9+2 so a little behind you - I have had sore boobs (extremely sore from weeks 3-7 and then eased off a lot) and other than that I've had absolutely nothing. No tiredness, nausea, food aversion, absolutely nothing.

I had a scan at 5+5 where there was a heartbeat but since that I have been so anxious that at times I've only just stopped myself from randomly crying. I've been reading about all the people who are getting every symptom under the sun and have just been so worried thinkinng that I had had a mmc since my scan. I haven't even been able to talk about the pregnancy as I was so convinced it was over.

But....I had a scan yesterday (was almost hyperventilating in the waiting room through nerves) and everything was absolutely perfect. Everything was as it should be and my tiny little baby was very much alive. I was SO relieved and couldn't actually believe it.

So please don't worry about lack of symptoms as I am living proof that it means nothing.

Even though you had them in your first pregnancy - my friend breezed through her first pregnancy and then felt lile crap for the whole 9 months through her second so it is possible to have a very different experience.

Good luck for your scan, I'm sure everything will be fine

I'm 13 + 2 and have had pretty much no symptons at all. My scan went fine & all is well! The only thing I've felt is sore boobs a few times in the morning (but this could be because I slept funny) & a little nausea when it comes to some food (but I'm really funny with food so that's nothing unusual for me either)... In fact, the only indication of my pregnancy was lack or period!!
Good luck. I'm sure it will be fine

Just a quick update to say we are having a baby! :) 11+3 according to the scan. So relieved! Thanks for all the comments! :)

That's brilliant news novia I'm so happy your mind is at ease now!

Aww I'm happy everything is okay. I'm 11+5 I had a scan at 8+3 and saw a heartbeat but still stressing about my scan on Monday. I had terrible nausea with my first and with this pregnancy right up til Sunday and I've been totally fine since.. Except I don't feel pregnant now I don't have any symptoms, I have a clear bump aswell and feel bubbles in my tummy (just gas I think) don't stop the worry tho. I'm glad I'm not the only one who worries.
