Hi all!

I am currently 5 weeks and 5 days and I am wondering when everyones symptoms started. I have had the occasional cramp, queasy feeling and fatigue but nowhere near as bad as my first pregnancy. I also cant remember much of anything before 6 weeks of my first pregnancy as if was 4 years ago.
This pregnancy is after loss so I am just really overthinking my symptoms or shall I say lack of.
would be nice to hear others experiences and symptoms this early on. I just keep thinking something is going to go wrong and thats why I have no symptoms.
my pregnancy tests are all very dark so definitely pregnant 😂

I didn't have symptoms until 7 weeks, and then they hit quite hard 😬 It definitely seems normal not to have symptoms at this stage 🙂

Hi Mary, I'm 5weeks and 5 days today and the symptoms I have is sore boobs, occasional cramping, and fatigue.

I have also experienced loss so kind of obsessing over my symptoms / lack of. Happy to update you if any of my symptoms change and would verb much love to hear if / when yours do too if you'd be happy to share?

I’ve had 3 children and didn’t get any symptoms with any of them apart from maybe a bit of indigestion and a little more tired maybe.

First pregnancy, I got pelvic girdle pain at 20 weeks as my first symptom. Second pregnancy (twins) vomiting at 7 weeks

That's encouraging to hear.

I felt the same as you at this stage and by week 7, I felt awful until week 16! However saying that with my first I felt absolutely fine all the way through. I remember the worry and anxiety of the first trimester very well. Especially after a loss. Try some mindfulness and book a early scan if you can afford it after 6 weeks for some reassurance. It made me feel better with no symptoms & then seeing a heartbeat. Xx

Apart from the stabbing pain I had which I now believe was implantation I had nothing until the 6th week when I had random nausea while cooking, the smell of coffee made me gag and felt like I just wanted to sleep for the rest of my pregnancy

Good luck Lu x

With our first child, around 6 weeks. With our second, at least 8 weeks.

Thank you everyone! Its very reassuring to hear everyone’s experiences!!
@Sunshine1621 I am now 6 weeks 1 day and I have been bloated in the evening and a lot of breast tenderness they feel very sore and heavy. Also food aversions here and there!

I’m 5 weeks today and no symptoms yet either. I have a son and had a very easy pregnancy with him so hoping I might be one of the lucky ones…. Time will tell😬
