Worried about lack of symptoms

Hi all!
I found out I was pregnant around a week ago. I'm not sure how far exactly as my cycles aren't very regular (clear blue said 1-2 weeks). I lost my first child, my little boy in June at 33 weeks.

I'm so, so happy to be pregnant again, the day after I found out it was a year since I found out I was expecting my first son, so it feels like a gift from him 👼

However, I'm terrified as I don't really have many symptoms. I have the tiredness and occasional sore boobs. I've also had small bouts of nausea that have lasted maybe ten mins.

I can't remember what I was like with my first son as I had a lot of bleeding early in the pregnancy with him and was constantly convinced I'd lost him, so I don't think I paid much attention to symptoms.

Due to losing my son, I have a viability scan which will be in the next couple of weeks, but because of the lack of symptoms I'm convinced there will be no heartbeat 😔

I keep doing pregnancy tests and there are two very dark lines which reassures me I'm at least not having a chemical.

Has anyone else had hardly any symptoms and had a healthy pregnancy? We so desperately want to bring a baby home!

Thank you xx

If you are 1 to 2 weeks it isn't unusual to not have any symptoms. It's different for everyone but I started properly feeling off at about 5 weeks.
Someone was on a thread worried about no symptoms a lot further along yesterday. I'll see if I can find it x

My friend had no symptoms at all. A bit of heartburn every now and again that she can't even pin on pregnancy. She has a lovely baby boy now 😊

You have the main symptom which is no period! You've also mentioned you have tiredness and sore boobs. It's very early days and I would try not to worry which I know is easier said than done!

I've had pregnancies with symptoms which haven't worked out. Conversely, for my most recent pregnancy the only symptom was no period and later on a bump. Absolutely no other symptoms at all. I was full of energy and boobs felt completely normal and yet I had a baby at the end of it. I hope the next few weeks go quickly for you. The early weeks are always the worst! Thanks

@SnowdropFox @Lostintranslatio @RoRoYoYo
Thank you all - I think full panic mode is on because of losing my first little one so late in the pregnancy, so every little thing I'm over analysing now! But thank you for your lovely comments 💙 xx

It's completely normal for you to feel this way and I'm so sorry for the loss of your baby boy.

I'm 33 weeks and had pretty much no symptoms. I also had bleeding early on too. Never had nausea. This pregnancy happened on our first try and I was convinced I wasn't pregnant, but tested, as you do when trying.. and much to our surprise I was. The lack of symptoms convinced me otherwise!

InthestarsO · 11/12/2021 18:21

@Trinacham aww amazing, congratulations 💙
Has the lack of symptoms continued or have you got a few more? Xx

Other than having a massive bump now and a very wriggly boy.. no, I can't say I really had any of the typical symptoms! maybe sensitive, sore nipples at one point, but nothing too obvious to me. It took ages for me to actual feel pregnant.
