Not feeling pregnant at 8 weeks

So I had an early scan this week because I ended up getting pregnant after coming off the pill and not having a period for 4 months so I didn’t know how far along I was. The scan showed a heartbeat and measured at 8 weeks, so lovely (even though I definitely drank too much water beforehand and felt like I was about to burst!). I genuinely thought that they were going to tell me there was nothing there because I’ve had such minimal symptoms. Sore boobs and ever so slightly more tired is all I’ve felt, nothing like all of the awful symptoms I’ve been told about. I’ve now started to notice that even my boobs are feeling less sore and CM has decreased. Anyone else experienced this? I’ve now convinced myself that at my 12 week scan next month I’ll find out something is wrong. It’s my first pregnancy btw so feeling veryyyyy anxious about everything!

Try not to worry (easier said than done) with DS i remember my symptoms were so minimal and my sore boobs went at about 9weeks. Im pregnant with number 2 and im 9 weeks and some days my boobs are sore and others they aren't or they are fine in the morning and killing by the by the evening. Im trying to think positive and cant wait for my 12weeks scan.

Relax.
It's normal.
I'm 4m preg with number two and I don't feel pregnant yet. I was the same with number 1. I felt preg around 6m when I had a bump and could feel baby.
Enjoy it. Some poor people suffer with awful symptoms throughout x

Hi there I am currently 15 weeks and I didn't find out I was preg until nearly 12 weeks because of minimal symptoms. I did have tiredness but I put it down to stress and overtime. The main thing I have had is a lack of appetite and disinterest in food, and some mild nausea that doesn't last long. I actually only did the test to rule it out before I went to my GP, as it was so unexpected! Now all of those symptoms have passed and I don't even feel pregnant, except for my Christmas pudding belly. Like you, I thought this meant something was wrong but all my scans have been perfectly normal. Some women get barely any symptoms, so we must be the lucky ones!

Thanks all! My google search history is looking like I’ve gone insane, constantly looking to read about symptomless pregnancies but at the same time knowing I’m not going to any answers. I definitely need to relax, although work is crazy right now but at least it takes my mind off things. Hoping for a wonderful scan on 20th December to be the best early Christmas present ever!
