7 weeks pregnant but no symptoms

Hi, I am very worried, stressed and I don’t know what to do so I’m writing here hoping someone would be able to help me pleeeaase😫😫😫 I am around 7 weeks pregnant. I took a pregnancy test after I missed my period and it showed positive. I have since been taking a pregnancy test every day for the past 7 weeks and it’s showing positive but I do not have any pregnancy symptoms!! Nothing at all!!!!! I had a little cramps at the beginning but that’s about it!!! What’s going on? My first midwife appointment is in 2 weeks and my first scan is in the middle of March so it’s still very far away. How do I know if I’m still pregnant? I’m scared to be happy because I don’t want to be disappointed 😫😫😫

i went to see my gp and told her that I’m pregnant but she just congratulated me! I thought she will probably confirm my pregnancy! Should I even go to my midwife’s appointment because what if I’m not pregnant? I feel like I’ll just end up wasting their time?

please can someone help🙏😩

I didn't have any symptoms with any of my children until they started moving about. Try not to stress about it (easier said than done).

Do you have means to book a private scan for reassurance? Otherwise maybe call your local Epu and share your concerns they might offer you a scan.

A pregnancy test every day for 7 weeks is a lot of tests! If they all showed positive then it's really hard to see how you could not be pregnant.

GP's don't really bother with blood tests confirming pregnancy these days because OTC tests are so reliable now and much faster.

It is possible that you just don't have noticeable pregnancy symptoms this time. I have been pregnant twice and during the first trimester the first time, I had completely different symptoms to the second time, so I'm sure all women and all pregnancies are different.

You must go to your midwife appointment. She will hopefully be able to reassure you that all is well.

Yes you should absolutely go to your midwife appointment! Why wouldn't you?
Stop testing everyday, you're stressing yourself out and it's can't be cheap buying so many tests. Unfortunately early pregnancy is a waiting game.

Please do not contact your local EPAU to try and get a scan, as suggested by PP. The clinics are not for reassurance, or to check if you really are pregnant, and this would be a complete miss use of the service.

You’re definitely pregnant with that amount of positive tests. False positives are really rare and wouldn’t happen over and over again. Not everyone has symptoms. I didn’t have any symptoms or signs that I was pregnant until I started to feel movement, and my son is perfectly healthy. It’s totally normal to be worried, pregnancy can be a really stressful time especially before you’ve had a scan. But try not to worry, it honestly doesn’t sound like anything is wrong.

I was the same, i panicked. First pregnancy HG sick as anything. Second
..nothing.

Could you be having symptoms but stressing too much to notice? Like peeing a bit more, tierd or bit rough?

I didnt even have a boob change until 16 weeks and then they just were a bit bigger.

I'm 4 months and never had any symptoms

Some women just never get symptoms from a pregnancy. That’s how surprise babies are surprising. I was never sick, I didn’t even feel sick. I had three babies, all beautiful and healthy.

Meadowfinch · 31/01/2024 02:08

Like @Manyandyoucanwalkover , I didn't have any obvious symptoms, and only found out when I went to the gp at 14 weeks because I was tired and thought I'd hit menopause or had a problem with my thyroid.

Relax, and be grateful for not being sick.

And stop buying pregnancy tests. Save the money for childcare 😁

I also didn’t suffer pregnancy symptoms, within the first few months I paid privately for HCG bloods and numerous scans which all confirmed pregnancy.
Im now 32 weeks pregnant and the only symptom I did have was very mild sore boobs around 3 months, that soon stopped too.
Even months into the pregnancy I didn’t feel pregnant.
Everyone’s different so try not to fret.
Deffo attend your midwife appointment as they give some good advice.
Congrats and good luck on the rest of your pregnancy :)

Congratulations on your pregnancy @Jaz1925

Symptoms are no indication of how your pregnancy is progressing. I had no sickness, tiredness or sore boobs and all was ok.

Feeling a little anxious is quite common at this stage. As per previous posts, are you in a position to book a private reassurance scan? They cost in the region of £70 but may alleviate your concerns.

Sunriseee · 31/01/2024 05:47

You can ask your gp to order you a quantitative hcg blood test. This will help you determine around how far along you are.

DappledThings · 31/01/2024 07:38

I never had any symptoms either. Felt a bit nauseous occasionally but only much further on. It absolutely doesn't mean anything's wrong.

LER2023 · 31/01/2024 11:12

You dont always have symptoms, enjoy being symptom free as you never knoe you could hit your second or third trimester and it will come down on your like a ton of bricks!

Dont keep testing, you will be stressing you out.

My first pregnancy, i took a test and i found out, but i just felt tired, a little bit sicky but it was like a normal day for me, tired and a bit sicky, but i was still pregnant, i was testing every week to make sure baby was still there and then went to my midwife and told her i dont feel much other than a bit tired and a bit sicky but for me it was normal. She told me not to worry, took my bloods and carried on with the appointment.

My second, jesus, i felt like shit.
Like my whole body was feeling it, i couldnt move out of bed for being so exhausted, i was around 5 weeks pregnant at the time of finding out and the 5 weeks prior to finding out i cried to my manager because i said im not pregnant but i feel extremely exhausted and im sleeping loads and i didnt know what was wrong with me, me and my partner planned to go to the pub and have a few drinks as i was finishing at 1 and it was friday, and i felt like i needed a bit of a break from feeling like shit.
I took a test just before i left work and got in my partners car and looked at it (within the timeframe) and it came up positive, it explained a lot, after that i had to drop my hours, so i could go home, nap and then id still sleep at a reasonable time (if 8oclock is a reasonable time after a 2 hour nap lmao)

Each pregnancy is so different! Please dont worry about feeling a little to nothing, keep your appointment with your midwife and enjoy being pregnant and feeling alive!! X
