Pregnant but no symptoms. 8+4

It seems mad, and not something to stress about. But I'm sure we're all guilty of stressing especially in pregnancy.
I am 8 weeks and 4 days pregnant, I had an early scan last week because of a bit of bleeding but baby was doing well and we saw the heart beat.
But I've had no real symptoms at all. No real nausea, no real bloating, no food aversion. Biggest symptom would be my appetite is a bit smaller than usual, if that even counts as one.
I'm glad on one hand because I have a 14mo who need my attention and it's good I'm not being sick, but it's really stressing me out that everything feels the same as it did a few months ago.
Maybe I'm expecting too much but I had morning sickness last time and without it everything seems like it's not really happening.
Does anybody else feel like this?

Congrats first of all Flowers
You are still very early on in your pregnancy. Maybe symptoms will follow later. I had no symptoms either apart from bloating around 12 weeks. Count yourself as a lucky one Smile

Hi @MsHopey, I'm 9 weeks tomorrow, so I'm similar to you. All I've felt is a bit of exhaustion early on which has passed, slightly sore boobs and a bit of bloat, everything that could go unnoticed to be honest. I've felt no sickness, no nausea or anything. Feel like I'm getting through my first trimester like a breeze in comparison to some people!

I'm also paranoid that perhaps I'm not really pregnant at all as it's been so easy (I only did one CB digital pregnancy test - thinking maybe I should have done more to make sure it's real?!)!! But I know I am, I'm just lucky it seems. First midwife appointment tomorrow - can't wait! Good luck with your pregnancy, @MsHopey! x

A few weeks ago I could have written this! I went for an early scan at 8 weeks due to spotting and having very little/no symptoms other than a strong sense of smell. We saw a heartbeat and everything seemed fine.
As soon as I was 10 weeks, boom, the tiredness and nausea really hit me. I’m 15 weeks now and everything is still ok and the symptoms are getting a bit better.
It’s still very early days for you yet and no pregnancy is the same. You may end up getting symptoms later on or you may be just one of the lucky ones! Xx

9 weeks today.
Still no difference in symptoms.
No sickness or nausea and it just feels like it's not real.
I know I'm lucky after seeing all the support threads for morning sickness and I had it with my first but I just really feel like something must be wrong with the baby.

@MsHopey I'm 11 +3 and haven't really had any symptoms. Sore boobs when I take my bra off at the end of the day but that's about it. I'm sure everything is fine and we are just a few of the lucky ones :)

Gobletoffire · 30/09/2018 09:55

I’m sure it’s completely normal. It’s still early days yet, I think people’s symptoms usually peak around week 10 but mine was week 12! You could speak to your midwife if you’re really worried but I’m sure she’ll just reassure you. You could go for a private scan. But you’re 12 week scan isn’t far away and I’m sure you’ll get all the reassurance you need then.

Opheliasgoldenwine · 30/09/2018 10:07

I similar OP, 8+3 today and no symptoms yet spat

Opheliasgoldenwine · 30/09/2018 10:07

Apart from mild nausea. Maybe it'll come later or maybe I'm luckyGrin

SodTheBloodyLotOfThem · 30/09/2018 10:09

I really didn't have any symptoms with DC2, after quite a hard work pregnancy with DC1. In fact I frequently forgot I was pregnant at all. He is perfectly healthy, if a bit bad tempered Grin

L0kiWh0 · 30/09/2018 10:23

I’m 7 weeks and apart from some fleeting nausea I have no symptoms either.

I have a 15 month old so am permanently exhausted anyway so wouldn't notice any difference - I think being tired sort of overrides everything else

MsHopey · 30/09/2018 13:04

@L0kiWh0
Yes, 14mo son here too.
I was exhausted before being pregnant and I'm exhausted now too.
But it's all part and parcel of being a mom to a toddler who has never slept through the night.
A good night he wakes up 3 times, a bad night he doesn't sleep at all!
I think you might be right.

I had no symptoms my whole pregnancy. Just an ever growing bump. Bump is now nearly 6!

Firstbornunicorn · 30/09/2018 13:16

I'm 9 weeks today and can't keep water down, am bedridden with exhaustion, and vomit every time I move.

My mum really had no symptoms across 4 pregnancies, and can't understand why I'm so run down!

It's massively individual. Don't worry.

MsHopey · 06/10/2018 10:39

I'm 10 weeks tomorrow.
Woke up with sensitive and sore boobs this morning. Not mega painful but more than I normally experience.
I have had very light nausea, feel a little sick, sit down and have a drink, maybe a custard cream and feel fine again.
I guess I'm just being silly but because I don't feel pregnant I worry things aren't processing.
12 week scan on October the 23rd and I'm literally counting down the days.

Hi OP. I am also 9 weeks today. I've felt a little tired but I always am anyway. I'm looking forward to first can on 26th to confirm there is indeed a baby in there. This is my second and I don't remember feeling so anxious with DS. Congratulations on your pregnancy.
