3rd pregnancy - no symptoms

I'm approx 7 weeks pregnant with my 3rd child.
My previous 2 pregnancies were pretty easy, not much morning sickness a bit of dry retching, but it was there from 5-6 weeks until the end of my first trimester.
This time nothing.
I don't even have sore boobs - they've not got bigger and they still feel pretty deflated.
Is this normal? Everything I've read suggests symptoms increase with subsequent pregnancies.
Does this signal something being wrong?

Symptoms definitely didn’t increase with me, they decreased!

I’m pregnant with my third and apart from tiredness I haven’t been sick at all. A bit of nausea occasionally but that’s about it.

I wouldn’t worry too much.

Thank you that's good to hear.

I had similar this pregnancy until about 8 weeks. Was really disconcerting as I've been quite nauseous and knackered with previous pregnancies. Anyway turned out to be twins(!) and all going ok so far (in second trimester now). I can see from my Google search all the things I was worried about at the time "no nausea at 6 weeks", "do lack of symptoms mean miscarriage?" etc etc.

Symptoms did kick in from about 8 weeks though, it wasn't pleasant but manageable. I'm not sure symptoms mean that much, even if they feel reassuring (have also had miscarriages where symptoms have kicked in early). Try not to worry. Can you get an early scan perhaps to put your mind at rest?

Oh and this is my 5th pregnancy (2 children already, 2 miscarriages). I think they are all different and based on my experience at least, definitely can't believe that symptoms are worse with each pregnancy (besides feeling older and more drained by existing children I suppose, which could be a factor!!)

Wow! I always thought twins had made you have insane symptoms. Just shows you every pregnancy is different and you can't predict what's going to happen.
I'm having a scan next week so fingers crossed I get some reassurance then.
Congrats on your pregnancies, thank you for replying!

Also pregnant with my 3rd, around 5-6w...hardly any symptoms...the occasional bit of nausea but totally manageable and feeling shattered but that is more likely due to my 9m old who doesn't sleep through. Boobs are totally normal!
