Early pregnancy and little symptoms?

[november90]

Hello! I'm about 8/9 weeks pregnant. I have a little boy already. With his pregnancy I remember having nausea in the evening but nothing particularly horrific. I had really soar boobs, so bad. I remember feeling absolutely starving though, all the time! I had no food aversions, I just wanted to eat and when I didn't I would go really weak. I put 4 stone on 🙈😂 and he was 9lbs 4oz!!!

So with this pregnancy I am definitely getting worse waves of nausea which occur randomly. I am absolutely shattered... I am actually stressed that I'm still up now as I don't know how I'll cope tomorrow. In the early weeks I went off all my normal food and meals, literally everything I ate before conception... even water, but I'm hoping that's subsiding now. My boobs are barely soar and I haven't really suffered with that.

I'm just feeling a bit stressed because on all these forums I see poor ladies struggling so much and being so poorly and it's just making me worry... am I the only person to feel like this? don't get me wrong, I don't feel amazing.... but it's just such a worrying stage and I don't feel like I can relate with anyone! Are my hgc levels too low? Could there be something wrong?! I have had an early scan and saw the baby in the right place with a heartbeat.. but I'm just worried 😬

Your symptoms could just be different this time around. My mum had two very different pregnancies and symptoms. You can't always compare your subsequent pregnancies with previous ones, and you certainly can't compare yours with other people on this forum who are totally unrelated to you. Your early scan went well, hang onto that positive thought.

Try not to worry! Easy to say I know.
I had no symptoms in early pregnancy at all!
Sore boobs for a week at 16 weeks and heartburn which lasted throughout. Every pregnancy is different x

I had terrible sickness for about 5 months, then one week of bliss and the heart burn started. I actually lost weight over my pregnancy! I had a little girl.

Anyway, things that helped were ginger biscuits, arrow root (in powder form) with a little water taken like a shot for fast relief. My aunt told me about this and she has had 7 kids so she knows her stuff. You can get arrow root biscuits. Also all I could drink was fizzy spring water. I kept ice pops in the freezer for if I was really struggling.

If you get heart burn ask your dr to put the heart burn mixture stuff on prescription, saves a fortune! I used to carry a huge bottle round with me an swig it every 30 mins....disgusting stuff!

Every pregnancy is different. I remember with my 2nd expecting it to be exact to my first oh how I was wrong 🙈 each pregnancy for me has gotten worse I would happily swap with someone who felt even 50% ok lol. Dont worry yourself xx

Hope I can interfere in this little thread...
I am 5 days later for the af arrival. And 18/19 DPO ( CB tested with a smiley on the ovulation, so I know it happened!). All pregnancy test so far were showing BFN, I haven't tested for 2 days as was getting a bit upset by the negatives... Today nearly spat my cappuccino out as I though someone put soap in it. Tasted extremely metallic and still getting this metal taste in my mouth every so often through the day. Also noticed that I am hot and sweaty and rarely feel this way, especially in well conditioned office and wearing a light summery dress.
In addition ( sorry to say that) I am struggling with bowel movements and been cramping ( especially towards the right side of the lower abdomen) for nearly two weeks now... 😞 Scared to test though, feeling hopeful and don't want to ruin my hopes by swing a BFN...

@SunnyFlover oh I'm sorry you're down with the bfn and not feeling yourself! So you're 5 days late are you? Something is definitely going on for you to be later, horomones present themselves in funny ways! With my first I wasn't trying so I didn't feel any symptoms around the date of my period... with this pregnancy I had little/no symptoms again so I can't really relate! I would recommend trying and testing again. I tested on a Monday and got a bfn and thought I was completely out only to get my bfp on the Thursday! Either way you need to put your mind at ease 💕

@november90 thank you for the support. I am seriously afraid to test. I did a little OPK testing this morning ( as I know it would pick up both LH and HCG hormones ), but trying not to totally upset myself by testing with pregnancy kit.

Enjoy your wonderful pregnancy and please be happy and stop worrying about non existent symptoms. I have a best friend who is due to deliver in 4 weeks time. She absolutely loves her pregnancy and had no symptoms at all! Well... thicker hair, stronger nails, glowing skin and feeling extremely happy - that's her symptoms!! Some ladies are extremely lucky. She haven't even put any extra weight at all and I would go to say that she looks a lot better pregnant than not! 😅

P. S. She and baby are doing very well.
So enjoy and stop stressing 😘

@SunnyFlover oh I really get the fear of testing thing :( I remember feeling well! You just have to do what feels right for you, I hope you get some answers/peace of mind either way!
Thank you! A few days after this post I started feeling rotten again so I spoke too soon! I'm 13 weeks now and feeling a lot better :)

@SunnyFlover I'm afraid you have to wait it out! A lot of the "symptoms " you are feeling are probably psychological( a lot of us have gone throughout) because if you want a baby so badly, and you are late your mind makes up stuff! Just wait it out, who knows, you could have your BFP soon!

@SunnyFlover how did you get on lovely? Did you test in then end? Xx

@november90 I have tested positive on Thursday, but now it's Sunday and my test is not getting darker ... I am going to see the doctor tomorrow, so hopefully everything is ok. Really scared right now as should be about 5,5 weeks and HCG level is just not as is should be on the hope pregnancy test 😞 But I swear, my tummy is growing slightly and I have few other undeniable symptoms that has been noticed by my partner too... I just feel fuller in the lower tummy area and it keeps cramping 24/7 in a very mild and soft way...

@SunnyFlover oh congratulations on the positive! I bet you couldn't believe it when you saw it 😀💗
Have you tried testing with other brands? My first positive was extremely faint on a Asda cheapie but much darker on another brand! It can also depend on how diluted your wee is or if you ovulated later then expected :) don't sit and worry though, it's not worth it when you don't need to! The doctors will likely do blood tests over a week or so!
Good luck and congratulations again 😀
