6 weeks- no symptoms

I had a healthy pregnancy followed by 2 miscarriages

I’m now 6 weeks- started with the usual stretching pains, bit of sickness, heartburn and tender boobs. But the last couple of days- I’m feeling back to normal. Can’t help but wonder if everything’s ok? Am I being paranoid or am I just trying to mentally prepare myself for another miscarriage, or can it be normal? Anyone else?

My SIL had this. Absolutely no symptoms of pregnancy at all until she had a bump. Gave birth to a very healthy little girl. Hopefully you're just lucky and baby has decided to keep a low profile for a while, give mummy a nice pregnancy :-)

I'm 9 weeks now and still no real symptoms to speak of!
I had same concerns but from what I can see it's normal and midwife wasn't concerned at booking appt.
Good luck! x

@Embobolina88 I’m similar... 6 weeks pregnant, and no obvious symptoms. I can suddenly feel exhausted, and get light headed when standing up.
This is my first pregnancy after ivf, so I am quite anxious. I thought I would be throwing up by now!
I will have a scan this Friday.. x

I'm now 8+3 following one miscarriage. A couple of weeks ago I could have written your post. But the past week I haven't stopped being sick. Maybe it's just a little early?
I had an early reassurance scan yesterday and it really put my mind ease, maybe that might help you too?

Embobolina88 · 23/07/2018 10:52

Thanks for your replies!

Maybe We’re over analysing.

I don’t want to pay for an early scan because last time I went and was given the news there was a blighted ovum by an unsympathetic woman, I was just sent away. Totally in limbo between there and a and e. Ended up staying in hospital for 2 nights because they forgot to book me in for a scan for the hospital to confirm the scanning place had given me the right information. I’d rather try and wait for the 12 weeks if I can, then if it’s bad news I’m in the right place instead of sobbing in a and e. It was traumatic.

Im 12+4 and have had no symptoms apart from missing my period! I had my dating scan on Friday and baby is doing fine, so don't worry! You are lucky you don't have any symptoms! :)

Embobolina88 · 23/07/2018 11:00

Wonderful, congratulations to you!

I know I should feel good, I’m more worried because I had them and now they’ve gone if that makes sense?

My midwife won’t see me until 8 weeks- got to wait until 8th august!

Help I’m new to this!

So I’m at around day 35 if my cycle and I appear to have spotting, no real menstrul cramps but I’m very tired, quite emotional l, back ache and could eat the whole house, to me it could be the start of period feelings but I’m ususally bang on time never been early before? What do people think could it be spotting or implantation bleeding as they call it. I don’t know I don’t want to over think or over google it 🤔

CharMor1985 · 23/07/2018 11:08

Sorry Day 25 my brain appears to have stopped working too

Bea1985 · 23/07/2018 11:31

Op ALL my symptoms disappeared at 7 weeks and I ended up paying for an early scan - baby was 100% fine.

Don't worry the morning sickness will be back soon. Eat plenty while you can!

Liz3891 · 23/07/2018 11:45

I never had any symptoms at all until my bump started appearing. I was slightly wondering when I went in for the scan if they'd say "what's wrong with you? There was never anything in here!"

WinkysTeatowel · 23/07/2018 12:15

It might be worth seeing your GP, mine referred me to the EPU at our hospital for a reassurance scan following a miscarriage. Fingers crossed all is well Thanks

em1998 · 23/07/2018 14:25

I wouldn't worry, i had zero pregnancy symptoms, i didn't even find out i was pregnant until i was past three months gone, then when i did get symptoms they would come and go when they felt like it, my little girl went to 40 weeks and came on her due date, every pregnancy is different so maybe your little one is just keeping a low profile cx

owl89 · 23/07/2018 15:05

Hi! Congratulations on your pregnancy. I had no symptoms until about 8 weeks then they hit me like a brick wall!

Embobolina88 · 24/07/2018 08:04

How is everyone?

I’m feeling so down. I’ve written this off already I think. Still haven’t had any symptoms come back- I’m hungry but apart from that everything has gone. I’m so convinced it’s all gone wrong. I feel empty instead of connected to the pregnanct. Just got to try and act like normal for another 6 weeks and if there’s a baby at the end of it that’s a bonus.

I can’t talk to my husband about how I’m feeling because he will say we’re not trying again if it makes me feel like this. I’m so down!

Embobolina88 · 24/07/2018 08:06

@charmor1985 have you done a test?

OP posts:
CharMor1985 · 24/07/2018 08:12

Nope no test yet think I'll wait until weekend if I can wait that long 🤞

Beherenow32 · 24/07/2018 08:17

@Embobolina88 it’s so stressful ☹️ Have you done another recent pregnancy test? Would that help reassure you? I might do one today.

I feel things, but they’re not very strong. That concerns me. I’m exhausted, felt sick when hungry yesterday- but that’s it really. It’s just a little sickness. Also find it difficult to talk anyone. I just get told it’s too early.

Maybe it is? We spoke to the hospital, and the nurses said a lot of people don’t feel anything before 7 weeks. If at all

Hope you feel better soon xx

Beherenow32 · 24/07/2018 08:18

@CharMor1985 they do sound like early symptoms! I didn’t have spotting- but see a lot of people on these boards that do.
Good luck!

Embobolina88 · 24/07/2018 08:21

@beherenow32 thanks for your reply. Hope all is ok for you. I’ve not done another test because the hormone would still be there even if I’d miscarried, don’t want to give myself false reassurance. Midwife won’t see me for another couple of weeks but I’ve requested a telephone appointment to see if I can discuss how I’m feeling with her. There’s just no support for us this early on- I was hoping I could see someone earlier seeing as I’ve had 2 miscarriages. I guess they’re that common early on that they can take see every pregnant person. Time just drags!!!

OP posts:
Beherenow32 · 24/07/2018 08:33

@Embobolina88 I really hope you get support. I know the nhs do investigations after 3 miscarriages, but you don’t want it to get that far. I’m hoping all the best for you.

Because I’m ivf, I can phone the Hospital, but they’re only concerned if there is pain or bleeding. I get a scan at 7 weeks... and that’s only a few days away now for me.

Keep pushing for support. It’s not good for mental health to be worrying xx

Angelmiracle · 24/07/2018 08:35

@Embobolina88 I'm so sorry you are feeling so down! I'm sure everything is fine but you are finding it hard to believe that you are pregnant! I didn't know I was pregnant with DS until 8 weeks then the sore boobs extreme nausea etc kicked in.

Is that your community midwife you are trying to contact? I'm 5+2 and seen mine yesterday she didn't do much other than take blood pressure. But when I said I'd painful cramping Sunday she gave me the community midwife hospital outpatients telephone number and said to ring them if I'm concerned and they can refer you to EPU or your GP can. Maybe visit your GP? Even to discuss how this is affecting you right now?x💕

bunnyrabbit93 · 24/07/2018 08:50

With DD1 I had no symptoms at all I just craved oranges for a few weeks then nothing. Maybe speak to a midwife if your worried

Embobolina88 · 24/07/2018 08:59

I just did another test after you mentioned it- I said I wouldn’t. Still showing positive but I’m pretty sure it would even if I’d miscarried because the hormone would still me in my system?
