7 weeks and worried I'm not thirsty or urinating more

This is my 6th pregnancy. Only two living children and I honestly can't remember my symptoms as they were 10 and 14 years ago, but my last three pregnancies I had real excessive thirst and was constantly in the loo. But this time I don't have either urges (although seem to get a dry mouth at night)
I know my last three aren't much to go by as we lost them all, but should I worry that I don't have it this time?
I know it's a different pregnancy but excessive thirst was one of my first symptoms for the last three, and pretty sure my successful pregnancies too.

I'm sure I'm just looking for things to stress about as I'm so nervous we'll lose another, but I just wanted to know if this is normal?

Totally normal like you said every pregnancy is different so please don't compare them I've never gotten excessive thirst in early pregnancy or the need to urinate more during early pregnancy... Try to relax and don't symptom compare you will drive yourself nuts xx

Every pregnancy is so different, I know its so hard not to worry but I really don't think symptoms can be any indication on whats going on in there. Its so difficult to relax and not overthink it though. Flowers

My first and second pregnancies were completely identical down to every symptom starting at the exact same weeks both times. First pregnancy was beautifully healthy and is now a happy 2.6 year old girl. Second pregnancy was very seriously ill with growing hydrops and we had to terminate at 12 weeks - she was discovered to have full Turners Syndrome through a post mortem and wouldn't have survived past 16 weeks.

I was incredibly lucky to fall pregnant again immediately after the TFMR and it couldn't have been a more different pregnancy at the start. I don't even remember feeling pregnant to begin with and was sure they wouldn't find a tiny baby on the screen at our dating scan - sure enough I'm now due in only three weeks with another healthy little girl.

7 weeks is still early and theres just so many symptoms that can be felt - instead of worrying about what you don't feel and comparing it to last pregnancies, maybe try focusing on what you do feel? Flowers

Sorry that was one heck of a long post, haha.

Thank you so much for your kind responses.
You've been really helpful and put my mind at ease.
@PastaSauceHoarder what a traumatic experience you've been through, I'm so sorry.

I think the reason I worry so much is that two of my losses were MMC (my body doesn't seem to know how to miscarry naturally) so I'm terrified that we'll see a dead baby again at our next scan, so I'm looking for all the reasons why that may or may not be the case.

But I'm so pleased to see this is normal!

What I can focus on is that my boobs are still pretty tender, and exhaustion has kicked in!

Thanks again I really appreciate your input

I thought I'd update this thread.
Baby had a good heartbeat at 8 weeks and measured spot on for dates, but at a 'reassurance' scan a week later, our baby had died. 4 babies dead now. This pain is never ending.
