Hi all,

I guess I’m looking for some reassurance. Currently pregnant with my second girl. I’m 16 weeks but have barely had any symptoms! I had a week or two of sickness in the first trimester and nothing else at all. It is so different to my first pregnancy.

I have a history of early miscarriage but just keep worrying as I have felt not much different - I keep telling myself I’m a lucky one but it’s hard not to compare. I do have a community midwife appointment tomorrow where I’ll maybe hear the heartbeat but I’m the meantime I just wondered if anyone had the same experience?

TIA xx

I'm on my 4th pregnancy, 1 child, 2 miscarriages and now 21 weeks. The first 3 I had awful hyperemesis and fatigue with time off sick barely functioning. This time I barely feel pregnant, was nearly 8 weeks when I found out I was expecting by which point I'm usually chained to the sofa or toilet!
I bet a bit of heartburn but that's about it. It was rather unnerving but having had awful symptoms and lost pregnancies I know symptoms aren't a guarantee either. Since my bump started and I am feeling some movements it has been easier to accept the lack of symptoms.
