Hi there. 8+2 today and have already had my pre booking appointment to do bloods/urine sample etc and have the proper one next week. My last ultrasound was 6+5 where I saw beans little heartbeat flicker!

However I just don't really feel pregnant. I've had a few bouts of nausea and vomiting in week 7 that have come and gone but the only symptom I've really got is sore boobs on and off and a bit more tired. Hopefully this isn't a bad sign! I'm booking a private scan for when I will be 9+4

@apple67cherry sometimes symptoms don't start till around 8/9 weeks, you could wake up any day and feel sick/be sick and generally just feel off. easier said than done, try to relax and enjoy not feeling awful, you may feel fine the whole pregnancy.

I only had tiredness in the first trimester with both my pregnancies. Dave your money and wait for the NHS scan.

Is the private scan to confirm you're pregnant because you think you're not? 😬

I've had a previous miscarriage actually and I had 2 early scans with the NHS as I had early pregnancy bleeding in this pregnancy too so I'm keeping an eye on things.

Hi, I have a 9 week old baby and I was exactly the same as you from the beginning, when I went for my 6 weeks scan I was convinced there would be no heartbeat and then the same at 12 weeks and even again at 20 weeks, don't worry I wish I hadn't

Hiya. I think I literally wrote the same post as you last week 😂. I also had an early scan with a heartbeat. I felt really nauseous from 7 weeks. Then 8 weeks I felt fine, and did not feel a single bit pregnant. I’m now 9+4 today and the morning sickness is back in full swing. Although I’m still anxious, symptoms can come and go. I saw my midwife last week and she said it’s so normal for symptoms to come and go.. or just go! I know it’s so hard but I’m really trying to just enjoy this time where I can as I know I’ll look back and wish I did . Easier said than done though. Wishing you all the best ☺️x
