Don’t feel pregnant

I’m around 6 weeks, 5 days with baby no. 6. I don’t feel pregnant though- I feel a bit of nausea but nothing awful and the only thing I’ve really noticed is headaches the last few days. Im certain I had more symptoms with my other pregnancies but then I had a loss back in May and I’m unsure if I’m just overthinking everything .

Anyone else have similar?

I had no symptoms at all with my current pregnancy, yet whenever I wasn't pregnant, I had all the symptoms under the sun! Weird huh.

Try not to stress (though easier said than done), I think my sickness/sore boobs kicked in around 8 weeks. Hope this helps, but please remember every body is different Flowers

With my last two I was just knackered and moody at 6 weeks, I didn’t have any obvious pregnancy symptoms until around 8 weeks when the nausea kicked in. I’m pretty sure I was similar with my first two but that was so long ago I couldn’t say for certain 😅
So definitely well within normal !

Thank you for your replies. I probably just need a lot more reassurance this time round and need to stop overthinking constantly.

Thank you for your replies. I’ve had a light bleed/spotting this morning so I’m not feeling confident.

I'm really sorry to hear this, thigh again, try not to think the worst! I had some spotting around this stage too and I'm now 33 weeks. I really hope it isn't anything to worry about xx

I had spotting at 4/5 and nearly 10 weeks so please don't think worst case scenario. I am now 17weeks x

Thank you. I should be 7 weeks but did a clear blue test today which said 4-5 weeks. I’m worried sick.

I thought the highest the clear blue tests went up to is 3+?

Regardless, tests are to confirm pregnancy only, they can't tell you anything at 7 weeks except positive or negative, they can't tell you if you're 6 weeks or 8 weeks for example, or if it's a healthy pregnancy or not, only a scan can do that.
Digital tests are not at all accurate past 5 weeks pregnant.

@sel2223 I think she meant it said 2-3 which would mean 4-5 weeks. I would ring EPU and see what they suggest as you are past 6 weeks

Sorry I meant 2-3 weeks on indicator which is 4-5 weeks equivalent. I called early pregnancy but they can’t see me until Wednesday as no availability.

Yeah I wouldn't read anything into that at all at this stage, i take it you've had no further spotting or any other symptoms?
Hopefully the scan on Wednesday will put your mind at ease
