I mean on average ? I'm 5 weeks so very early, have slightly tender boobs but otherwise feel completely normal !
I'm quite anxious anyways as this is an ivf pregnancy. I find myself wanting to have sickness etc just so I feel like everything progressing ! I have an early scan in a couple of weeks and don't want to test anymore as I know I'll just get more anxious. So trying to have some reassurance off my body !

My morning sickness kicked in at about 8 weeks, didn't get any other symptoms than that. Good luck with your pregnancy.

Sickness started at 7 weeks, lasted till 11.
Other than that I had no other symptoms

I'm pretty much 12 weeks now, I've had barely any symptoms at all. Had cramping around week 5 and spotted on two occasions.
I've had 2 early scans, 1 at 7ish weeks and the other at 9. Everything was just fine! It's hard when you don't have any symptoms though, a little reassurance something is actually happening in there would be nice 🤷🏼‍♀️ looking forward to my 12 week scan on Tuesday 🤞🏻💝💕🥰

With DS I knew before my period was late.
Sore boobs, felt really ‘off’. With DD I didn’t bother testing until I was a week late as I felt completely fine and didn’t believe I was pregnant. Everything hit me like a ton of bricks at 6 weeks though and I felt HIDEOUS until about 15 weeks.

I never got any, not even a sore boob. 2 normal pregnancies.

shivawn · 16/10/2021 17:05

Completely different for anyone. I never really got any. Until the bump grew and the kicks started of course.

whataglouriousthingtobe · 16/10/2021 17:23

I'm thinking the average is more 6-7 weeks ish ! I don't have much of an appetite, I don't feel sick I just don't really want anything, which is quite unusual for me! Maybe that's a symptom lol
I keep poking my boobs to check they still hurt, turned into a crazy lady

Six weeks for me!

I never understand these posts from people wanting to have symptoms appear, like why wish sickness on yourself for no reason? I was so happy to have no pains, fatigue or morning sickness in the first trimester! Symptoms aren't a sign of anything.

I wished for it. 2 MC's, 1 breakdown during 3rd IVF cycle. It's reassurance.

Between 7-8 weeks and exhaustion, food aversions and nausea kicked in for me, I'm now about to turn 13 weeks and it's mostly behind me now 😊 xx

whataglouriousthingtobe · 16/10/2021 21:02

It's definitely a reassurance thing !

I read a paper that looked at multiple studies into morning sickness, and apparently day 39 (so 5 weeks 4 days) is the average start day for nausea/vomiting, so quite normal to start after that. And 90% of those who get it will get it by 8 weeks.

And 20-30% of women have no nausea or vomiting.

DLB22 · 16/10/2021 21:44

I am 10 weeks and have had sore boobs and tiredness. I get a little bit of nausea when I haven't eaten but it's very mild. My first pregnancy I had no sickness whatsoever but was tired and sore boobs.

whatagloriousthingtobe · 18/10/2021 21:25

Did any of you find that your breast soreness/size fluctuated ? Mine don't feel as swollen tonight but don't know if I'm getting used to what they feel like through lots of groping 😆 or if hormones are leveling off
