[mrsasprey]

Hi im hannah

Im 5 weeks pregnant and cannot shake the feeling that there is something wrong

Ive had no real symptoms apart from some light cramping which ive been told is normal and tender nipples.

Im 32 and this is my first pregnancy

i dont see the midwife until 09/10 and im constantly taking pregnancy tests to reasurre myself that im still pregnant

someone tell me im not going insane

:-) x

Congratulations Hannah☺️

You are not going insane I promise, it's perfectly normal to not have any 'symptoms' early on.

Try and relax take it easy and get ready for the tiredness to kick in! Xx

ha ha thanks I genuinely feel like a crazy person im just trying to be calm and relax as much as i possibly can

Hi Hannah, I am 5+2 today and other then mildly sore boobs I’m alright with no really other symptoms. With my DD I didn’t have any signs other than a missed period until I was 6 weeks, then the nausea started. With my last pregnancy that ended in a missed miscarriage I had, extremely sore boobs, nausea, bloating and that ended in a missed miscarriage at 12 weeks and my symptoms didn’t go until they induced my miscarriage. So I’m trying hard not to analyse symptoms. It’s hard but I’d say just try and enjoy it, these first few weeks do drag but over all the experience is over so quick! Congratulations

Congratulations @mrsasprey! We are the same number of weeks and my first app is around about the same time as yours. Apart from tender boobs and more tired than usual I would not know I was pregnant. I almost feel like a fraud booking appointments because I’m worried that I have some how made the whole thing up. This will be my first baby too, I had a chemical pregnancy last month and actually felt a lot more pregnant then so I don’t think symptoms always mean that things are good. It’s an anxious time but least we can be in it together!

I didn’t have nausea until I was 6 weeks with two of my pregnancies and I had no nausea at all with my DD’s. It can be normal to have very few symptoms.

Congratulations OP!

I had no symptoms at all at 5 weeks. The only reason I thought I was pregnant was because, I had gained a lot of weight unexpectedly.

I got slight nausea between 7-12 weeks and tender breasts. from 12-38 weeks, the only symptoms I have had are an expanding tummy and a bit of backache!!

Please, don't be worried. Enjoy it, my pregnancy went so quickly!
