Lacking symptoms

Hi, I'm 10 weeks and one day and I feel completely normal I'm really worried about my lack of symptoms. Has anyone else experienced this?

I did, I had no symptoms other than feeling tired, my DD is now 14 months. It's stressful when you're symptomless. I had a reassurance scan at 9 weeks which helped me.

It's extremely stressful. I have had a scan at 8+3 all was fine. But still convincing myself something could be wrong.
I did originally get pretty bad symptoms which disappeared suddenly at about 7 weeks, ever since I've felt more a less normal.

I had no symptoms, apart from being tired. But I can understand your worry - I was he same! But my DS is now 15 months so nothing to worry about! I also had a reassurance scan at 8+4 and saw the heartbeat, so that was very reassuring! Enjoy your pregnancy!

Thank you! Everyone is saying I'm lucky but there isn't any reassurance without symptoms I know that sounds silly.
Apparently miscarriage rates drop to 2% after seeing a heartbeat at 8 weeks so I'm trying to reassure myself with that. Can't wait for my next scan!

Same here! I even posted something similar to you but I'm currently 19weeks and all going smoothly

Brilliant, lovely news, I guess we can't rely on symptoms to mean anything anyway.

I didn't have any early symptoms at all. At 15 weeks, my feet hurt and I've gone off avocado - that's it!

It's nice to know others have been in the same situation and all is well.

I'm 21 weeks now and didn't really have any symptoms in the first trimester. I very occasionally vomited but it was a feel sick, immediately be sick, feel completely fine afterwards thing so can't complain! Try not to worry about not having lots of symptoms & just try to get excited about your new little one instead 😊

Thank you! I've actually been feeling a little sick on n off today, so that's a little reassurance as daft as it may seem. Thanks for all the replies.
