So im 16 weeks and have been pretty ill for most of my first trimester, and up until now. But now don't feel pregnant at all! I'm not being sick, my energy has increased, i can think clearly and I'm not as dizzy.

Last week I was so dizzy I was really struggling to do anything, and now I feel absolutely fine!

Also concerned because I thought I felt the baby move last week, and now I dont feel it at all.

I had an early miscarriage with my first pregnancy and I lost symptoms and then miscarried the day after. So I'm now mega stressed. Havent seen midwife since 12 week scan and wont see them again until 20 week scan Confused

Is this normal? Should I be worried?

Totally normal. Many people don't feel the baby move at all until 20 weeks or later, and it's common that symptoms disappear in second trimester (when you're apparently in the "glowing" stage, not that that ever fucking happened, my hair still looks shit).

I was luckily fairly symptom free in my first trimester, and that continued, so I felt "not pregnant" for ages (am 25 weeks now).

Every pregnancy is different, so unless you get any bleeding or pain I would forget about it, and enjoy feeling fairly normal while you can :)

Hi OP, I remember feeling like this from probably 12 weeks to perhaps 20+ when I started to show and get aches/ pains. Whenever anyone would ask me how I was doing I'd say 'absolutely fine, I wouldn't even know there was a baby in there unless you told me!'

If I ever had a wobble what reassured me was that at my 12 and 20 week scans the baby was wriggling around like nobody's business and yet I couldn't feel a thing!

So please try not to worry too much. I'm now 28w and definitely can't forget I'm pregnant so enjoy not feeling like an achy and sore Weeble while it lasts 🤣

I'm 17+3 and feeling the same. I was so poorly up until 16 weeks and now symptoms have totally gone no sickness, tiredness or sore breasts. I had a mmc this week last year and I think it's playing on my mind.

Totally normal. Enjoy the second trimester. It’s a lot better than the other two.

Hello ladies
I'm pregnant on my second and started bleeding at 5 weeks and il bleed lightly for a day or two then it stops I'm now 10 weeks but bled quite a bit but no cramps just a bad back. Taken a pregnancy test twice one at 5 weeks and I toke one yesterday too. and says I'm still pregnant. Anyone else had the same problem but still carried on a healthy pregnancy? Thank you all x

I'm 25 weeks and I've had good weeks and bad weeks. Started feeling good at about 15 weeks, felt awful at 18 weeks, felt good at 19 weeks, felt bad weeks 20-22.

I felt movements at about 15 weeks, but then it stopped and didn't feel them properly again until almost 20 weeks.

Not had sore boobs at all since week 13.

So I think it's all pretty normal OP. You're at the stage things should be improving symptoms wise

Thank you so much everyone!! This has really eased my mind! It's really being a first time mum with no antenatal care (well, I can go to scans), so thank you for calming me down. I'll just enjoy it whilst it lasts because knowing my body I'll probably be back to projectile vomiting everywhere by tonight 😂😂😂
