Just that really.... I am currently 5 weeks with my second (I had an early loss before him), and remember embarrassingly little about my first pregnancy. I read someone saying the other day that nausea often doesn't kick in until 6-8 weeks after the placenta takes over, not that I'm wishing the days away until I feel rubbish....

No nausea at all until 7/8 weeks then full blown hyperemesis so be careful what you wish for Wink

I just felt weird until about 6 weeks, but my boobs felt like they were on fire and about to explode right from the minute AF was late. That lasted until about 16 weeks, I had evening sickness from about 8 weeks and the soul destroying tiredness from 8-20 weeks ish.
Second Trim was brilliant, I didn't even feel pregnant until SPD flared.

Only symptom I had was nausea, I think it kicked in at 6 weeks and last until 12 weeks, but declined after 10 weeks. All I remember is feeling awful for 3/4 weeks!

I'm 31 weeks now and apart from a bigger belly and a bit of breathlessness and tiredness, I really don't feel that pregnant! Sometimes I completely forget.

Hi,

I have had very few symptoms. I am 17 weeks and I have had nausea maybe once or twice but only for a couple of hours max. I've never been sick.

I have been tired but only when I did too much - a lot under non-pregnant circumstances.

Don't read the next bit if you are sensitive to TMI!!!

At 17 weeks my worst possibly symptom has kicked in - trapped wind!!! It is awful beyond belief and almost daily for 2 weeks now. Gaviscon, although it is for heart burn, seems to work. The wind wasn't going up or down and was agony (bent over double pain) but Gaviscon makes it go down. So at least it's going somewhere! I have understanding colleagues who didn't mention my 20minute toilet trip today Confused

Fingers crossed this symptom disappears ASAP! Shock

I'm 5 weeks with 2nd DC. 1st pregnancy I found out at around 6 weeks and I had already been tired. Then I got exhausted... Slept 2-3 hours every afternoon then in bed for 9pm. This time I feel tired, but suffering from a cold. But that's it really. Little bloated at times but feeling very unpregnant :( x

4 - 5 weeks then spent until about 14 - 15 weeks being exhausted, awfully nauseous, sore boobs, boating etc. 28wks now and feeling much better!

This is second pregnancy and it's completely different to my first, I've been exhausted since about 4 weeks, I'm 7 weeks now and only for the last 2 days has my nausea/sickness and sore heavy boobs started, wishing the sickness away already! Enjoy not having it while you can!! Congrats! X

Within a week of conception I developed sinusitis which took a month to shift. Complete and utter exhaustion (starting to ease a bit at 9wks), feeling sick, food aversions, very sore boobs, tummy cramps. I've been quite miserable and this is my first but I'm hoping it gets better soon!

Thanks all, it's been really interesting hearing such a range of experiences.

I'm certainly enjoying the lack of symptoms, but can't help worrying about the uncertainty of early pregnancy at the same time.
