Week 5

[1234meg]

I'm 5 weeks today and I feel absolutely normal. I had a couple of mild "symptoms" of pregnancy before my missed period and around the time of my missed period like soreish boobs, fatigue, emotional and stuff, but nothing major. Now I feel okay, I wouldn't even know I was pregnant. I keep waking up early/ in the middle of the night though, not sure if that's a sign and I also seem to be slightly "spaced out" at work but I'm not sure if these are symptoms. I've had a previous early miscarriage literally only a couple of month ago so maybe I'm over thinking it? Or I just handling the rising HCG levels better than others ?

This is my second pregnancy and it is so different from my first. First one I was just tired not a touch of sickness. I'm 5weeks now and have not stopped weeing and feeling sick. Not vomitting yet thank god lol. But I have a feeling that will be coming very soon 😑

@Lilleahw did your boobs hurt at all with either pregnancy. Mine don't hurt and I'm worried as that seems to be the first sign for most women

No nothing so far and nothing with the first. Strange how so many women go through the same thing and we all experience it differently isn't it

I think I found reading the biggest symptom is the lack of a period the most reassuring thing, which is really the main symptom to be looking for, along with a positive test. I know after having two mcs myself it’s very hard to think like that, but it is a woman’s primary pregnancy symptom. I had a cycle with pms sore breasts that were more tender than my breasts were at the start of this pregnancy and was absolutely not pregnant.

It’s natural to want find others who do not have any / many symptoms - but some may not even know they’re pregnant due to the lack of symptoms unless ttc. Ive also read of women who had missed mc with lots of symptoms and then a healthy pregnancy with hardly any. It’s so hard!

Believe me I went potty in the early days. It’s really hard to flip your thinking. But try to focus on no news being good news/ no signs of a period meaning all is well as much as you can. The early weeks are definitely excruciating. Best wishes for a healthy pregnancy!

Thanks for your help girls. I know I can't help what happens anyway so here's to hoping
