Lack of symptoms

Morning everyone!

I'm 9 weeks this week. For the first 3 weeks of knowing I was pregnant I was getting nausea and tiredness and my boobs were tender and ached.

But I've been waking up feeling let's say "not pregnant". I just feel normal like nothing is happening. Has anyone else felt like this? I'm slightly worried or maybe I'm just lucky to be feeling ok?

Any stories I'd love to hear! Thank you!

It’s really normal! Freaked me out too that I didn’t feel pregnant, made me feel like a bad parent. Symptoms kicked back in and I still didn’t “feel” pregnant until I started to feel him move. You’re definitely not alone, it’s just a weird part of the whole process.

Yes, I remember having the life changing news that I was pregnant yet nothing felt different.

I can totally relate too! I'm 12 weeks and had a really healthy looking scan on Wednesday. I felt a few hints of nausea around weeks 6/7 but from week 9 until now have felt pretty much totally normal so was really worried for the scan but all was well! Wish I'd relaxed and enjoyed it more at the time but easier said than done!

Good morning :)

Thanks for your reply! I'm glad your scan went well and all is healthy, it's just so easy to worry. Especially the sore boob part 🫣 everything has just gotten better and I'll jays have to be patient and wait for my 12 week scan! I wake up hoping I have a symptom of pregnancy to put me at ease aha x

Oh wow, not just me then. I just felt like the symptom should have lasted longer than just 2 weeks!

Thanks for your reassurance. It's so hard not to worry. After TTC for soooo long and being my first child it's all a new journey for me.

Same here. Don't feel very pregnant at all. Sore breasts on and off but not really many other symptoms at all. It's definitely worrying me even though I know it's normal.

9 weeks tomorrow and all sickness has disappeared this week. The only thing that has remained is exhaustion, so I’m crossing everything that all is still o.k.

i’ve had a private scan at 7 weeks where a heartbeat was visible but 12 week scan not until 13th oct which feels like a lifetime away!

Exhaustion is the only symptom I'm really feeling now too! After a good sleep I wake up tired!

We're in exactly the same boat. I'm sure it's just luck for us.

So hard not to worry though.
