Hi all
I'm exactly 9 weeks and 6 days pregnant
I have had two positive scans one at 7 1/2 weeks and one at 8 1/2 weeks
Both perfect with heart beat and size bang on for my dates
What is concerning me is I have had very little symptoms with this pregnancy. I had had aversions to coffee but that's about it, I'm not tired and if I am nauseated it lasts a few seconds if that. The only thing that gives me reassurance is when I get twinges or cramps but I haven't had any for 2 days now and I'm getting worried
I've had two losses in the past all before 12 weeks so I have had anxiety all through this pregnancy but I have booked a private scan tomorrow.
My question is, is anyone else suddenly stopped cramping at 9 weeks with virtually not feeling pregnant and everything was fine?
I am also taking cyclogest in this pregnancy

I'm 25+6, and like you used cyclogest from about 5w. I had cramps between maybe weeks 4-6 and then they stopped completely. Didn't really have much in the way of nausea except for the odd wave of 'hmm not sure if I feel so good' for about a minute, and even that only lasted for a week or two. Certainly by ten weeks I was symptomless (and panicking that something had gone wrong).

I know it's really hard not to keep going back for scans, I was the exact same way, but the good news is it's perfectly normal to have little to no symptoms, and with a successful scan at 8w more likely than not it'll all be fine :)

Hey @LavenderSweetPea ! You have pretty much described my symptoms spot on! That has definitely given me some reassurance.
Thank you so much! I love hearing that your pregnancy is progressing well too x
I think I've drove my husband crazy with all my negativity 😂 xx

With my first pregnancy I had no symptoms whatsoever. I was sick twice and it was debatable if it was even morning sickness. I didn’t cramp, wasn’t put off any food, wasn’t tired and just felt normal. I had scans at 6,8 and 10 weeks as I was paranoid it was a false pregnancy or something was wrong.

I envied every woman who had symptoms as that is what I craved.
I’m now sitting next to my little 18 month old.

I know it’s easier said than done but try be reassured by your positive scans. You’ve seen the flicker of the heartbeat, you’re pregnant and growing a little
baby. Try focus on the excitement, look forward to your 12 week scan and enjoy having no symptoms because the third trimester will hit and you’ll be exhausted!

With my first pregnancy I had no symptoms (I didn't even know i was pregnant till I missed my second period lol). With my second I had only afew symptoms and I'm currently 9 weeks pregnant with my 3rd and and again have little symptoms. I had a scan this week and baby is doing good. Suppose we are just lucky.

Thank you for taking the time to respond, that is really reassuring to hear and I'm glad you had smooth pregnancies 😘 xx

It's hard being pregnant after losses but you're right I need to focus on the fact I have had two positive scans xx
