6 weeks pregnant

I'm 6 weeks and 4 days pregnant and I have very mild symptoms. I get tired more so than normal and I have been having some leg cramps. I experienced abdominal cramping a couple of weeks ago and since then, I haven't really had any symptoms or they are very mild. I'm starting to really panic as I have read so much about missed miscarriages and I'm so worried this could be happening.

Did anyone else have mild symptoms or very few at this stage?

I've booked an early viability scan on Friday to ease my mind but it's two days away and I just know it's going to drag up until I get to the scan. This is my first pregnancy btw.

I only got symptoms about 7 weeks but honestly, there’s no hard link between symptoms and successful outcome.

I’m a few days behind you I think and my symptoms are very similar to yours. Some mild cramping and feeling quite tired.

I do have some on and off nausea but not much, I also briefly had sore boobs but that seems to have died down.

Just like you I’m a little concerned, however I’ve seen a few posts about people with mild symptoms so I’m hoping I’m just getting lucky right now

I have an early scan booked for Sunday just to make sure the bean is cooking okay and in the right place

@esunny I had my first positive pregnancy test at 4 weeks and 4 days and since then, I've taken about 4. I've started to take one each day to measure the lines on the test but I'm not even sure if my brain is tricking me into thinking they are lighter.

I had no idea how much anxiety you get when pregnant, definitely no one ever told me about that x

I actually had the same with my boobs. They are still a bit tender but not as much so not sure if that's finding a way to cope with it or not, it's just so difficult not to let your mind wander into what could be happening.

I hope your scan goes well! x

I didn't know I was pregnant at that stage with any of my three pregnancies. At the time I would have said I had no symptoms at all, but looking back I did feel the need to drink less coffee.

Congratulations! Some tests can stay light when you’re that early.

I’m currently in the TWW and had an implantation bleed (I think) two days before my period, but still no idea if my eyes are tricking me with the test :( not sure if I’m testing too early or not x

My only symptom was extreme fatigue where i would need 1 sometimes 2 naps a day!
I had blood too but other than that i wouldn't have known i was pregnant.
