5 weeks pregnant fluctuating symptoms

Hi,
I'm 5+2 wks pregnant. Having a feeling of nausea, which started ramping up about a week ago. I haven't been physically sick yet, which I have been with my other pregnancies about 6 weeks.
My concerns are that I had bloating and it has lessened since yesterday. Achy boobs have also lessened as of a couple of days ago. The nausea is still there and is getting worse each day.
I had a missed miscarriage last year (conceived last Oct) and ended up with an infection. I wasn't back to normal until April. I conceived in May, but lost that wee one at 4.5 wks. I just hope this pregnancy continues....

hey OP one thing I have learnt from the July Ante-natal thread (feel free to come join us btw!) is that this is so common. It seems everyone has their symptoms fluctuate, especially around the 5 week mark too!

@HoneyBee47 I'm 7+2 today. This is my first, so I'm no expert. But I've had some days where I've felt so ill that I can barely move. And other days when I've felt (like today) very good. I expect I'll feel crap all weekend after feeling good yesterday and today Smile

Thanks @twittlebee and @fortheloveofdoughnuts that's so reassuring to know! I panicked this morning and was thinking the worst. I just want thing to work out this time.

@HoneyBee47 it's such a worrying time. 12 weeks feels so far away. But I'm sure when we get there, it will feel as if time has flow by

@fortheloveofdoughnuts I don't think I could wait til 12 weeks. I was going to go for an early scan at 6 or 7 weeks for peace of mind. I'm such a worrier and the 2 previous losses haven't helped. I have ectopic fears now.
