Not feeling pregnant

I am now 8 weeks pregnant and went for a scan last week which shows baby is there and there is a heartbeat. Over the past week or so I haven't had much in the way of pregnancy symptoms apart from increased hunger and mood swings (but that could just be me 😂).
My boobs aren't as sore now but can feel tender at times. Is this normal? I have a friend who is pregnant at 10 weeks and she is as sick as a dog!
Any advice / experiences appreciated! My first pregnancy so nervous. I'm just worried incase something has went wrong.

Congratulations!!! Try not to worry about it - I know it's easier said than done but I was exactly the same and still am now at 15 weeks. I have had a few scans now just to make sure everything Is ok as I dont feel pregnant etc. I guess we should just say we are the lucky ones for now with no symptoms

Hi! This is my first pregnancy as well. Its 100% normal to feel like this sometimes! I had very little in the way of symptoms, sore boobs for a little while but that was about it! I was convinced the lady would tell me there was nothing there when I had my first scan, and even at my second scan i was convinced I was still making it all up in my head. It was not till I was about 19 weeks did it really actually feel like i was pregnant because i started to feel my baby move. I'm 25 weeks now and sometimes even now I worry, but then she gives me a good kick and I know shes definitely there! Try and keep relaxed about it, I know its worrying, honnestly the 1st trimester is the worst because you worry about so much, but hardly any symptoms can be ok and not mean anything other than your having a easy pregnancy. I have a friend, who like yours, really suffered with morning sickness whilst I had nothing and I couldn't help but compare myself to her! Best advice is to not google anything, dont compare your pregnancy to others because every pregnancy is different and just try and relax and wait for your 12 week scan, where hopefully, you'll see everything is fine! Good luck!

I felt exactly the same as you. It used to bother me but I'm thankful i had no sickness!

I'd get so hungry i would have rippedd someone's arm off and eaten it if nothing else was available.

I didn't start to feel pregnant until i got a noticeable bump.

So i think it is normal and i wouldn't worry.
