Sympthoms disappeared at 10 weeks.

Hi all,

I know no one can really tell me what is going on, but I'm feeling very anxious and wanted to reach out for reassurance.

I'm 10+4 today and feel almost back to normal after weeks of nausea and tiredness. Breasts no longer sore. Now of course I'm panicking that something is wrong. I had a previous miscarriage at 5 weeks.

In this pregnancy I had a scan at 9 weeks where everything was measuring fine and HB was seen.

My next scan isn't until a week in Tuesday. I am wondering what your experiences of symptom loss have been and whether this is something to go to the doctor because of.

Hiya,

I've read quite a lot of posts on here about symptoms reducing a lot around 9/10/11 weeks. Can cause a lot of anxiety but seems for a lot of people it is normal.

Personally I felt very ill from about 5 weeks to about 8 weeks (was a long 3 weeks, although I know many people suffer a lot more!!). In weeks 9 and 10 the symptoms reduced pretty quickly to nothing. It was like I would have a good day, then a bad day, then a good day and then suddenly no more bad days! It's apparently due to placenta forming and starting to take over.

Hopefully you will get some other responses where people's symptoms disappeared quite quickly around this point and everything was normal and fine. I have also heard some people say this happened and then they had a miscarriage, however I don't want to worry with you that.

I've read a study where they found that by week 9, with a normal heartbeat, miscarriage risk was 0.5%. That's really low. It is very likely that everything is fine.

If you are really worried, and you could afford it, could you pay for a scan? I don't think you need to go to the doctor about it because I think it is a common experience and you don't seem to have any other worrying symptoms like bleeding or pain. However, if you are feeling really anxious, don't let that stop you doing whatever feels right for you.

Hope you feel better about it.

Thanks for your very kind and thoughtful answer! I'll try to keep reminding myself that it is likely fine.

I might indeed look into a private scan next week depending how I am feeling. Am meeting the midwife on Tuesday too, so that might also help.

Thank you again for your response!

I had this at the same point with both my DS and my current pregnancy (now 19 weeks). I asked the midwife in my pregnancy with DS and she said that it's common for the placenta to start taking over about 9/10 weeks which is why symptoms start to fade for most (of course some suffer much longer)

I agree with pp - if you have no pain or bleeding and you've heard the heartbeat the overwhelming likelihood is that everything is absolutely fine
