My boobs felt sore really early on - but I get that with my period too so you can imagine - always thought that was on its way! That eased off really early - only had it for a week or two. From around 6-7 weeks pregnant I really didn't feel any major symptoms other than a bit more tired.

Hi SKM
Still not feeling pregnant at all! and Although great to have my scan 30th July, and saw baby ok, still don't have exact date, scanner lady said about 9weeks, yet the lady who signed me in (a nurse) said 10weeks, as she said conception doesn't count, it's your last period date is worked on!
So today I'm either 11 weeks 4 days, or 11 weeks!!! Got scan 18th Aug (next weds can't wait)
Still not seen or got a midwife, Hospital told me not to go to GP, GP said I have to see them to get refered to midwife, so just to be on safe side I went to GP on Friday just gone, waste of time really, took BP and said she'll write to midwife!
Finding it really hard too keep quiet now, had big family meal last night with my side of family, and was bursting to say! Especailly as my sister will be away when I have my 12 wk scan and I'll have to tell her by phone, would have been so nice to announce yesterday! But No we will hold our tounges! thing is Scan on Wednesday and we are not telling people til weekend, as won't be able to fit in visits during the week!
Oh my goodness sorry I am going on aren't I, apologises to all those I have bored.

Its great to hear from everyone, makes me feel less alone about it all. I am just 7 weeks and have had a terrible headache all weekend though doc says there is no connection.

Still no other symptoms, sore boobs etc. Counting down the weeks until the scan when a heartbeat can be found. (Then I will relax a bit and worry about something else no doubt).

I've tested early and got a BFP. Have to do it again later in the week. Has anyone else used the clearblue digital? Also does anyone else who's PG feel like AF is/was due?

I dont know whether this will help anyone or not, but having had a miscarriage I thought this could be useful to those of you going insane with worry.

Basically as soon as I had a show that morning, I saw the doctor, who said that a show was fine and that could happen for a lot of women in pregnancy. But then he told me ot do another pregnancy test and it came up negative, so was told I'd miscarried. Since this I have met a few women who have had the same experience.

So throughout my second (successful) pregnancy, (and now starting third) I invested in several tests. So it reassured me seeing the line at least.

Although I do suffer with symtoms and can understand why you are concerned not having them, I can only reassure you by say that every book/web site I have read, they all say it is perfectly normal NOT to get symptms, so have faith, and DONT panic!!!

Hi everyone
Great thread and it made me feel much more at ease to read i'm not the only one who feels like this. I am 18 weeks today with first baby and still don't really feel pregnant. I only had one week of feeling sicky and that was early on, then i had my first scan and it was fantastic. But then after a few weeks i started to think maybe something had happened because i felt so well and fit. This week i had my first meet with MW, who was an old dragon btw, and i got to hear heartbeat. So i felt a bit more at ease again. I had my bloodtests done and haven't heard back so i think that means everything is fine. My next scan is on sept 3rd, can't wait to see baba again! Anyway i'm waffleing i just wanted to say that even though i am nearly half way through i still don't feel pregnant, i don't even have a tummy really i know it will come but i can't wait till it's obvious!! Oh just to mention the one major sympton i get is tears, i cry at ANYTHING!! Anyway bye for now kirstyk

skm - my midwife came to the house both times for the first appointment.

She will get your medical history and ask others questions. She took my blood pressure too. It is basically just to get you in the system. Then you wil get an appointment for a scan (if your area do 12 week ones) and your midwife will probabbly book you in at the clinic with an appointment around 16 weeks for bloods to be taken.

She should give you a pack of info to to peruse at your leisure.
