Hi! Just wanted some advice/support! I'm 6 weeks pregnant and my main symptoms are sore breasts, cramping, occasional queasiness and food aversions. Yesterday morning I woke up and vomited and couldn't eat anything until lunchtime but breasts were only slightly sore - today I've woken up feeling hungry and not sick but my breasts are really sore and swollen?! Is it normal for symptoms to come and go like this? Thanks! I had a MMC last year and I'm totally paranoid Hmm

Totally normal! Try not to worry and just take things one day at a time. Congratulations on your pregnancy!

You sound normal OP!
I barely had any symptoms and then I went through a phase like you and then back to nothing.
They will come and go from week to week.
If you haven't already, download a pregnancy app, as that gives you lots of info of what to expect week to week.

Thank you! It's such a worrying time isn't it?! You've put me at ease Smile

OP - I was literally coming here today to write an identical post to this. I’m also 6 weeks, yesterday I felt queasy as anything and couldn’t bear the thought of anything but really plain food, today I hardly feel sick at all. I’m so glad it’s not just me, and reassured by other posters saying it’s normal!

Yes - I'm glad there is someone else out there! If I was busy at work I probably wouldn't notice I wasn't sick until I was - but now I'm sitting at home prodding my boobs and smelling food to see how I feel 😂. I need to get a grip! The first trimester is defo a worrying time!

It really is - it doesn’t feel quite real to me so the symptoms are reassuring because they make me believe it’s all going as it should. I know it’s different for every woman though! I think I will be an anxious wreck until I am out of the first trimester!
