Early pregnancy worries

HJJ · 2024-01-08T18:18:02+00:00

Hi everyone, I am 5 weeks pregnant today, I first tested positive 10 days DPO and have had positive tests since. However, apart from sore boobs I haven’t had any other ‘pregnancy’ symptoms (sickness etc). I have had really achy lower back pain though on and off for about 3 days now. Has anyone else had this? Worried this isn’t a good sign! I had a miscarriage last year at 8 weeks 5 days so I am really anxious about it happening again. Just want to try and enjoy it but without symptoms it’s hard :(. Can anyone relate to the achy back pain?? Thanks x

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Hi I had this about the same time as you, I had a scan at 9weeks and all was ok. My nausea started about 6weeks and I’m now 11 and it’s worse than ever so be prepared when it does arrive it’s not nice! Wishing you all the best x

Hey, I just found out I’m pregnant too on New Year’s Day due around the 10th of September. I’ve had cramps on and off for days. I was convinced my period was going to appear. Luckily it hasn’t. I’ve had two previous miscarriages both at around 7 weeks so I’ll be an anxious mess till I pass that mark. I do have a rainbow baby who is now 4! And i remember being exactly the same with him. But I keep reminding myself cramping is fine as long as there isn’t bleeding! But still is a worry! I’ve had bouts of nausea when i don’t eat after some time but can’t tell if that’s from pregnancy or just me! X

With my second I wrote on here saying I was having a symptomless pregnancy and it felt really strange. By the time I hit 6 weeks I was vomiting 3-5 times a day, spending full days in bed as I could barely get up, napping for 2 hours etc. I remember physically crying daily because I felt so rough and poorly.

I’m now pregnant with my third and I’m 4+3 and feeling the same, wondering why I don’t have any symptoms? Except this time I know to enjoy it before they all potentially hit in a week or twos time. That would be my advice to you too 😂 Enjoy it!

I am 5 weeks pregnant. Had a proper sore ONE boob just one day and had some light cramping, the only persistent symptom has been the tiredness. My two occasions of morning nausea only lasted a few minutes and was manageable.

I need an advice or opinions.
I'm more than aware that is very early, however...
Ovulation was on the 5th of Jan, unprotected sex was on the 4th of Jan. I know when I ovulate as I have ovulation cramps, they usually last a day- day and a half and then nothing until the day before period starts.

I know I'm only 3DPO however, cramps are still here, I have pelvic pain that feels like stretching that goes to the top of the groins, I have lower back pain, breast started being tender today, basically I feel like my period will start even though it's not due for the next 12 days.
I also have white- yellowish discharge.

Those cramps and strange, stretchy feeling is constantly here. I also have runny nose and my throat feels prickly even though I don't have a cold. I'm also sweaty even though I never sweat 🤷‍♀️

The question is- am I going nuts or these could be early pregnancy symptoms???

This would be my third pregnancy,last one was 11 years ago.

Thank you!!

I was like you with barely any symptoms and worried. Then they hit me the following week and I’ve had dreadful hyperemesis ever since. Hope it goes well for you!

Thank you!!

early pregnancy symptoms and pre-period symptoms are almost identical.

why not start your own thread?

I had it like this when we were trying for a baby. One month I had an onset of these symptoms for the whole duration between ovulation and period. It did not result in a pregnancy. It might be psychological.

@Chaz693 Me too! Congrats :)!
I think I'm the same and my anxiety is probably causing me to feel worse than any symptoms!
Wishing you all the best with your journey :) xx

@L00k4m3x Oh really! Thank you this makes me feel better, maybe I just need to wait a little longer then. Bless you sounds like it hit you hard!
Congrats on this time round, hoping it doesn't hit you as badly this time! All the best :) x

I had sore boobs/nipples in 2WW then it just went. Had noooooo symptoms in first trimester (other then spotting) and I am now almost 35 weeks. It's been a very minimal symptoms pregnancy the whole way through to be honest. I have been able to continue as usual most the time.

I feel lucky to have completely missed morning sickness!

hoping all goes well for you x
