When did your symptoms start?

Hi all, I found out I’m pregnant with my first baby on Wednesday 3rd Feb and I’m 4+5 today due 12th October 🥰 The only symptom I had was that I didn’t have spotting 2 days before AF which was the giveaway for me so tested on the day AF was due.

Although I’ve had a positive test and it was a strong line, I’ve also done clear blue weeks test too which came back as 2-3 weeks I have no symptoms... absolutely nothing at all. I’m planning to do another clear blue next week so that it will hopefully say 3+ so I know it’s progressing but I’d be grateful for some reassurance.

Have other women had zero symptoms and had a successful pregnancy? I’m sure women who do have symptoms such as cramping etc wish they didn’t have that! I think we worry either way don’t we!? 🙈🤷🏻‍♀️😂 x

Congratulations and good luck.
Don't be disappointed if you don't see the 3+ on a digital, some women never see that and still have healthy pregnancies.
I did weekly tests up to 6 weeks, I've experienced several chemical pregnancies so only consider myself officially pregnant from 6wk onwards. I only relax a bit after seeing an active baby on my dating scan too. I've had 5 mc's between 8 & 12 wk, most recent was in July. I had a private scan which confirmed a hb but still lost it a week later, decided to wait for dating scan this time (2 days to go).
I had nausea and fatigue with current one before getting a strong positive around when af was due. Some people have very mild symptoms and others really suffer, each pregnancy can be very different for the same woman too.

I never had one symptom apart from a bump that started from around 17wks. Bump is 8 yrs old now.

Congratulations! Apart from tiredness and hunger in the 1st trimester I never had any of the "typical" pregnancy symptoms, so you might be lucky!

Symptoms, or lack of, are no indication of the viability of the pregnancy, so just try to enjoy it and not overthink everything...easier said than done I know!

Congratulations 🥳 I did not get any symptoms until around week 8, prior to this I kept taking tests cos there was just no difference how I felt... I kept telling close friends how normal I felt and lots replied ‘Ah it wasn’t til later on til it got me!’ They were right lol

Think things ramp up towards the end of the 1st trimester. I got very sick and tired, still feel this way at 14 wk but sickness worn off slightly. Weeks 11-12 were particularly bad urgh.
Mind you, we are all different and you might be one of the lucky ones! Best of luck 🥳❤️🥳❤️

Thanks ladies, I know it’s so early and they’ll probably all hit me in a few weeks and I’ll be kicking myself for worrying unnecessarily and not enjoying the symptom-free weeks 😂 but when you hear so many women talk about all the different symptoms they experience even before they get a positive it does make you wonder.

I feel no different at all but feel incredibly blessed to be pregnant and really hope this little bean sticks 🤞🏻 Thanks for the reassurance.

@Chelyanne I’m sorry to hear that you’ve had such a difficult journey with so many losses xx

I caved and did another test and the line is getting darker so that has given me some reassurance, for today at least 😂🙊 x
