Symptoms at 12 weeks

[AliceRR]

Hi All

I am 12 weeks today and interested to know what others’ symptoms are.

I have had sore boobs, nausea, exhaustion / fatigue, clear discharge (sorry tmi but relevant) since I got my BFP around 4-5 weeks.

In the last week or two I have felt better, less tired and less sick, but other symptoms have remained. This last few days, however, I have been feeling sick again and today (first day back at work after a week off) I really feel like I am so tired I could go to sleep at my desk. It’s a countdown to the end of the day to be honest! I’ve also been feeling faint possibly due to the hot weather and had a few headaches. Slight cramping. Irritable a lot too.

I had a small amount of spotting (literally one bit, one time) on Saturday but nothing since thankfully (touch wood)

Symptoms are somewhat reassuring especially since I need to wait til I’m 13+5 for my scan!

Hello

I'm 11+4 and some of my symptoms have gradually eased over the past week. My boobs hurt less and I've had more energy (I suffered badly with fatigue!) but I had some light cramping at the weekend and still get light headed very easily.

My scan is on Friday but the easing of symptoms is a bit scary although apparently it's normal going into the 2nd trimester. The wait for that first scan is a strange time!

@TinyMarie yes I think it is normal for symptoms to ease which is what I thought was happening to me but they seem to be back!

You are lucky you have a scan close to 12 weeks. Good luck!

It is strange how things are different for different people. My nausea kicked in at week 9 after thinking I'd escaped it and some days are worse than others.

Good luck to you too

I've been worrying myself about this! My symptoms seem to have dropped off a lot but don't know if it's cause I'm working now which I wasn't when found out and I'm using my time instead of sitting round all day. I still get some cramping but today I've felt gassy in my lower abdomen but not actually been physically gassy! I'm convinced something is wrong 😞. I'm 11 weeks tomorrow scan not until 9th.. feel anxious!

@emma911030 I think it’s normal for symptoms to come and go. My symptoms calmed down a bit at 9-10 weeks and now they have come back a bit but they say symptoms start to die down towards end of 1st tri due to placenta taking over etc. And everyone is different - some people don’t have any symptoms full stop. I am a worrier too so understand but chances are everything is fine.

My scan is 10th! Good luck x

@emma911030 This does seem to be the norm although I'm worrying a bit too. I had exhaustion from the very start and then all of a sudden, I was fine! I've had a few days where I just don't feel pregnant at all.
I've just been reminding myself that some women don't even realise they are pregnant for a long time and feel completely normal so a dip/lack of symptoms doesn't automatically mean there is an issue.
Good luck for the 9th

I'm 13 weeks tomorrow (based on early reassurance scan) or 13+2 based on LMP. This past week I've felt worse - exhausted, headaches and nausea. From what I've read I'm supposed to be feeling better. Got my '12 week' scan tomorrow.

@CrabbyPatty good luck with your scan! Seems you had to wait a bit for yours too. I thought about early scan but didn’t and then seemed like I may as well just wait as I got closer to 12 weeks...
