Disappearing symptoms + spotting - positive story

[bunz123]

Hi all. I am currently 7+4 and I have spiralling the past week or so as I have lots any symptoms I had at the start of pregnancy.

Week 4-6, the exhaustion was intense and my breasts were mostly sore and large. I really FELT pregnant. I’ve not yet had any morning sickness or nausea which in the back of my mind was slightly worrying but I haven’t learned to realise I think just lucky! (It might still start!)

My symptoms began to subside 6.5 weeks and then hitting 7 weeks I felt completely normal again, as if I wasn’t pregnant. Boobs are back to pre-pregnancy, no tiredness, absolutely no signs that I would be pregnant. I naturally began to worry. I kept telling myself symptoms come and go, it’s fine, but I was really panicking as they had disappeared for a prolonged period of time.

This morning I went to the bathroom and noticed light pink spotting when I wiped. This truly floored me and I convinced myself this was it. The combo of prolonged lack of symptoms and spotting couldn’t end well.

I am just back from an urgent Ultrasound and lo and behold, baby is fine measuring 1.26cm with a heartbeat of 151, right on track.

I am writing this because although i am not out of the woods yet, I am proof that disappearing symptoms and even some spotting doesn’t equal miscarriage. I wish I had seen stories like this when I was searching for some reassurance, I hope this helps someone 🙏🏼

lots of love to you all xxxx

I can't thank you enough for sharing your experience, I logged into Mumsnet just now hoping to get exactly this kind of reassurance - I had pregnancy symptoms right from the start and they've suddenly stopped at 5 weeks 4 days, now I feel completely fine physically but am anxiously waiting for my first ultrasound at 7 weeks to confirm whether the pregnancy is viable and developing normally. Wishing you all the best with your pregnancy too and thank you again for helping me to feel less worried :) xx

Oh I’m so glad it helped even a little, I know exactly how awful that wait is. The symptoms disappearing completely freaked me out, but everything turned out to be fine at the scan. It’s so hard not to worry when your body suddenly goes quiet like that, but honestly, it can be totally normal!!

Really hope the next couple of weeks go quickly for you, and that you get good news at your scan. Will be thinking of you, keep us posted when you can. Sending lots of love xx
