It's very early days but I suspect there are some new BFP's meaning we'd be due in February. I'm 4 weeks today so super early. Anyone with me? Has anyone got any early pregnancy symptoms?

I've got my first scan (NHS) booked in for 1st July (think I'll be 6 + 2 then).

Prior history so I always have early ones

Hi everyone, how are your symptoms?
im about 7 weeks and I’m not feeling sick at all which is worrying me… my boobs were sore but they’re fine now. The lack of symptoms is making me think something is wrong. Just wondered what symptoms others are having xx

Is anyone experiencing good skin?
I feel like I am actually glowing . Hope it lasts 😁I usually breakout around ovulation time which would be now so it's a nice change woohoo.

mumtotwox · 19/06/2023 12:48

Seems like people are copying different ones 😆

I wish.
I've had two people at work this morning telling me I look unwell!

MummyTo4BoysXXXX · 19/06/2023 12:53

I'm hoping that this Friday I will get to see a yolk sac and a fetal pole with hopefully a heartbeat 🤞 at epau at 11:15 so 4 more sleeps for me.. x

A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 · 19/06/2023 13:06

@Starjay7 that's exciting! Have your children noticed the nausea yet? Mine is one, so he's pretty oblivious. I'm 38.

@Pen40 I looked at my chart for my son, and I didn't get proper nausea until into week seven. Also just over one third of women don't get any nausea or vomiting (lucky things!). I looked this up a lot last time because I'm petrified of vomiting and was hoping to fall into that bracket. Unfortunately I did not....

@GoneAway227 I look tired too!

Hi everyone, how are your symptoms?
im about 7 weeks and I’m not feeling sick at all which is worrying me… my boobs were sore but they’re fine now. The lack of symptoms is making me think something is wrong. Just wondered what symptoms others are having xx

I'm 6+2 and my sore boobs have gone; they are bigger though.
cramps have also gone but I can feel stuff happening in my stomach which is weird.
I am so so tired though.

I remember with my first I had zero symptoms until 8ish weeks

Pen40 · 19/06/2023 13:10

Thanks @Sunshineclouds11 and @A1b2c3d4e5f6g7
it’s reassuring to hear other people’s experiences. It sounds daft but I’d rather be throwing up as it would reassure me!
hope you’re doing ok. X

Hankthehonk · 19/06/2023 13:13

@Pen40 my symptoms are almost non existent which is worrying me too. With previous pregnancies I had really sore boobs from early on but they feel fine. All I have is tiredness, mild backache and the slightest whiff of nausea but sometimes I wonder if I'm imagining that.
I know I should be grateful that I don't feel like total crap but I'm the same as you, it makes me worry that progesterone etc isn't as high as it should be.

Hankthehonk · 19/06/2023 13:13

Oh and I've also had weird feelings in my uterus, like stretching. Not pain or cramps exactly.

Starjay7 · 19/06/2023 13:19

@A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 its been awful as I’ve been pretty bedbound with it he thinks something is badly wrong with me which is heartbreaking. I’ve tried saying mummy just has a headache. I really want to tell him but feel I need to get my harmony scan first to ensure all is okay as curious about my age. Such a crap time.
To the ladies that have no symptoms I am sure you are fine! But can imagine you are worried. I would do anything to not feel sick for 1 minute. It’s torture

Starjay7 · 19/06/2023 13:22

And no my skin is Grey looking older than ever 😢

Strawberry06 · 19/06/2023 13:24

Hi @Pen40 we've spoken before! I'm 7 weeks tomorrow and not having any sickness yet although I feel like I might feel nauseous, mainly when I haven't eaten. My nipples are sore and on Saturday I had an appointment in the morning then went to bed for the rest of the afternoon! I totally understand cause it worries me too, especially when I also didn't have any symptoms with my first miscarriage.

I've also got horrendous back pain and the odd twinge in my tummy which I didn't have last time so hoping its a good sign.

moosey89 · 19/06/2023 13:41

@Hankthehonk I definitely get the cautiousness, even though there's no reason (medically) to believe it will cause any damage, it's hard to shake the feeling of 'what if'!

The cycle I got pregnant was wierd for me too, not in length but my previous period was only 2.5 days and super light, which freaked me out at the time (starting assuming something else was wrong). So I'm also nervous about that and why it happened. It's such a hard time and there's no right way to manage how we're all feeling at the moment, just got to do our best x

@Starjay7 it's so difficult - worry if we haven't got symptoms or strong symptoms, feel horrible if we do! I'd be happy to have just mild nausea, some middle ground. Hope you're feeling a bit better soon x

Starjay7 · 19/06/2023 13:51

@moosey89 thank you are you feeling bad nausea too ?

Is there anyone near my age in this group 43! 😳 feel like I’m passed it will be 50 with a 6 year old that’s awful 😢

I'll be 43 when this baby is due - already have 3 other children aged 20, 16 and 8.

Thought I was in peri menopause 😂

moosey89 · 19/06/2023 14:11

@Starjay7 not currently thankfully - just extremely tired and sore boobs. In my first pregnancy I got sick around 7-8 weeks, so might be the same this time I guess...
