5+2 and not too many symptoms..

Hello everyone,

I am 5+2 at the moment and the only symptoms of pregnancy I’ve had is a bit of dizziness in the head, a bit more lethargic (but that could just be me!) and loose stools maybe 2 times a day. I did have two days of light spotting about 4 days back that lasted for exactly 2 days. Pregnancy was confirmed through a digital test on the day on my missed period.Blood test reports are pending. Is this normal? Is everything okay? Is this indicative of HCG levels? Please help. I feel like most of the time I am focusing my attention on my stomach and pelvis and quite frankly it’s driving me a bit crazy.

Hello. It’s such a weird time isn’t it, walking around not really knowing whether you are pregnant or not and needing to wait for a scan to tell you. Every woman’s pregnancy symptoms are SO different that no one can tell you whether yours are right or wrong. You are very very early in your pregnancy though so your symptoms might ramp up over time. Or you might be blessed and have very few symptoms. I know it’s hard but try not to stress.

All my awful symptoms kicked in week 7 with both my pregnancies so give it time !

I never had any pregnancy symptoms. All I had was positive tests and eventually a pregnancy bump. Ds is nearly 12 now. Pregnancy was perfectly healthy.

I've had barely any symptoms and I'm almost 20 weeks. A little nausea between weeks 6-9(ish) but no real sickness. Tired on an evening until about week 15. And the occasional cramping/round ligament pain, which seems to happen every time my (still small) bump edges out a little further.

Yes, exhaustion and morning sickness are commonly reported upon, but I don't think symptomless pregnancy is talked about enough. Maybe because women who have few symptoms don't really talk about it because there's nothing to report? However, now that I'm pregnant and asking my mum friends about their experiences of pregnancy, it transpires I actually know more women who had no sickness than suffered it.

In my first pregnancy I didn't have any symptoms at all until week 7.
Current/second pregnancy they started around 5.5 weeks.

My mum has 4 kids and never had any symptoms with any of us, no morning sickness, nothing.

I’m 5+5 OP and so far my only symptoms really have been crying (so much crying) increased hunger and low grade nausea. Like, I could miss it if I wasn’t thinking about it. I’ve been worrying about the same but everything I have read (and from what I remember with my DS from 12 years ago!!) says symptoms kick in 6-7 weeks.
I had a B-HcG blood test and numbers are good so I’m sure yours will be too. ❤️

I didn't have many symptoms until I reached week 6. A little bit of nausea but not much. I thought pregnancy was going quite easy, then I felt like I was hit by a truck. The nausea was awful after week 6, and I was exhausted. Almost at week 9 now and symptoms have started to get better, still some nausea and painful boobs, but have my appetite and energy back. This worried me a bit too, because I heard people saying usually it's not until week 12 you start to feel better and I'm not even at week 9 yet, but I suppose pregnancy and the symptoms are different for everyone. Hard when it's your first time going through it though.
