9 weeks pregnant but no symptoms- looking for reassurance!

20 replies

Hi everyone, I am currently almost 9 weeks pregnant but have no pregnancy symptoms at all! No sore boobs, no sickness, no food aversions etc. I have a slightly heavy feeling in my pelvic area but that's it.

This is my 4th pregnancy after 3 consecutive miscarriages so I am so nervous! I know that having symptoms does not mean a pregnancy will be successful, and my mum never had strong pregnancy symptoms, but I just wish I'd feel something!

I had a scan a week ago and all was ok. My next scan is in 2 weeks- I'm just looking for some positive stories and reassurance to help me get through the next few weeks! X

My mum had virtually no pregnancy symptoms in all four of her pregnancies, and they were all fine. She did say she was quite tired after a full day’s work teaching, and she did once have nausea for a few hours.

If your mother also didn’t have symptoms, perhaps it’s just a family thing? I am envious, to an extent, but I do understand how hard it is not to have the reassurance of symptoms (mine have been worse than expected, but they have gone away, and it’s a worrying time until they come back, even when everyone says it’s all fine and normal).

But yes - it is a very worrying time, and a long wait until the first scan. I feel for you, and hope that the time goes quickly and uneventfully! (Maybe just the mildest of morning sickness and sore boobs thrown in, just as a gesture!)

I'm 15+2 and iv also had no
Symptoms the whole way through. Sometimes it's a worry but I think it's really lucky. Having had friends who have had hyperemisis just got to take each day as it comes.

Thanks both! My sister had quite bad morning sickness with her baby so she clearly didn't inherit that from my mum! I am trying to keep thinking positive thoughts- trying to tell myself, no point being negative unless I've something to be negative about!

I had twins and had literally no symptoms until about 14 weeks. I was v concerned about it. After that though I felt completely shit for the rest of the pregnancy so that taught me .

Prometheus · 01/02/2019 22:27

I had two pregnancies with no symptoms until about 20 weeks. I wasted weeks with worry and both times ended up with two healthy babies.

BringBiscuits · 01/02/2019 22:28

I had no symptoms with my first or second. Try not to worry.

EyeDrops · 01/02/2019 22:35

Barely any symptoms with my second pregnancy. I was so worried it was going wrong as I just felt completely normal! It's all progressed perfectly healthily.

Lightning007 · 02/02/2019 09:18

I never had any symptoms what so ever during my whole pregnancy last year. I wouldn't have even known I was pregnant if I hadn't taken a test. There's nothing to worry about your just one of the lucky ones, I got told that. I never had anything apart from the baby kicking when I got further on and in the end I had really bad aches down below when my baby was head down. Other than that I sailed through it and it was amazing. Never had any sickness, soreness, cravings or nothing. I'm sure everything is okay :)

I'm 12 weeks with my second child. My first pregnancy was full of every textbook symptom of pregnancy. This pregnancy I have had some sore tummy muscles but that is it. I was really worried at the scan that there wouldn't be a heartbeat but strong and healthy heartbeat. I hope it's the same for you. It's nice to have not spewed for 10 weeks.

I had little symptoms til 10 weeks when it ramped up and I felt trrrible til week 24 then semi terrible til birth. Don’t worry and I wish you all the best

SqueakyBeans88 · 02/02/2019 11:47

I didn't have any signs until about 9 1/2 weeks (didn't even take a test until 8 1/2 weeks as I although I thought I could be pregnant, I'd had a previous miscarriage at 6 1/2 weeks so wanted to get that timeframe well out the way first)

Sickness then came in full swing with my little girl and from 10 - 16 weeks it was awful and even now at 37 weeks I still get nauseous and constant heartburn (she's due in 3 weeks thank goodness!)

However my friend with her baby boy had barely any symptoms until she started showing at 16/18 weeks - she was convinced at each scan they'd tell her she'd made it all up and there was nothing in there!

They're all so different. Try not to worry :)

JE87 · 02/02/2019 16:59

I'm 8.5 weeks and I haven't had any symptoms. I've been so worried about it so I went for an early scan today and everything was fine! Easier said than done but try not to worry

curlywurlywooo · 04/02/2019 17:37

@teamseashore I’m 15 weeks and I’ve not had any nausea, I’ve had acne on chest for about 5 weeks and I’ve only just now started having cravings for fruit! They say every woman and every pregnancy is different! I couldn’t help worrying until I saw the baby on the scan then I know there was something in there after all!

OutPinked · 04/02/2019 18:48

I didn’t have any symptoms with my DD’s at all, it was just a sign I was having a girl because I felt wretched with my DS’s .

Conversely I had lots of symptoms with one of my missed miscarriages but they disappeared at 9 weeks which transpired to be the week I had miscarried. I think it’s worse if symptoms suddenly disappear rather than never having any.

Hi ladies, well I had a scan on Friday and it was bad news - another missed miscarriage. This is my 4th consecutive miscarriage now, feeling pretty crap about it all. Feel like my body just doesn't want to make a baby! :-(

Just read your last update and didn't want to read and run. I'm so sorry for your loss, I know there's nothing anyone can really say to make it better but my thoughts are with you. And my fingers are crossed that good news will happen for you in the future

Babycakes1989 · 17/02/2019 10:31

So sorry to hear this teamseashore❤️ Had you had reoccurrent mc investigations before ? I’m guessing when the time is ready that will be something you will look into. Don’t give up 💖 xxx

Hi Babycakes, yes I've had the standard tests for clotting issues and everything was normal. I think we will go to Prof Quenby's clinic in Coventry for the nk cells testing she does - we were planning to do that in January but then fell pregnant! I'm not sure there is much more we can do, apart from possibly repeat the blood clotting tests and see if anything has been missed. Also will try and persaude our consultant to do a karotype blood test - i know it's really unlikely to be the cause of these miscarriage but just for peace of mind really...... x
