5 weeks and no symptoms - not even sore boobs

[Hopeful588]

Hi all,

as the title suggests, I am
5 weeks and do not have any symptoms. Not even sore boobs. Is this normal? x

Aawww I’m glad you are excited about it! I am pretty sure I am having my 4th girl! I’m starting to get excited now that it’s getting closer! My youngest can’t wait to be a big sister! The whole pregnancy has gone way too quickly! 😢😢 Yes, you can be the only princess in the house! I say to my husband that he’s the only king of our house! He’s totally outnumbered!! 😂😂 x

Poor bloke bet he loves it though haha. I am definitely getting close to being over being pregnant! I've been way more impatirnt since my friend had her baby, I want mine now too! Any birth tips seeing as you're a pro now?

Oh god I love being pregnant! So much! My husband is well used to it now! He’s got 3 sister too! 😂😂
Just try and stay as active as possible in labour. If you are lying down or having an epidural it won’t get you in the best position to deliver. Have a look at the circuit mile on google to try and encourage baby into the correct position. I’m also going to download the hypno birthing book by Siobhan Miller x

Thanks! Yes I have had that book recommended to me too. I haven't hated it, just bored of feeling heqvy and tired and dragging my arse to work every day 🤣

Sorry I didnt reply to this @BlondeAutumnGirl how are you feeling now? Have you ladies had any niggles or any news yet? Xx

No worries! How are you? I am currently battling insomnia more nights than not. Can't get comfy/can't drop off/feel like my skin is crawling - I am so tired. I'll be 36 weeks on Monday so hopefully not long to go. I got my Hypnobirthing book and pregnancy ball today so will be experimenting with those :)

Hi @BlondeAutumnGirl same here! Hence a 2.30 post! 😬😬😬 it is normal though. It’s a clever way of our bodies getting us used to being up in the night. My hips hurt a lot with all this side lying and my bump is huge. I’m 39 weeks now. I do absolutely love being pregnant and have been quite emotional for a few weeks coming to terms with the fact this might be my very last pregnancy. 😭😭😭 All very bitter sweet. Have you started using Raspberry tea leaf or anything yet? Stated mine a good few weeks ago and having 3 cups a day now. I’ve been listening to my hypnobirthing podcast too. All very motivating but hoping I can actually put it into practice at the time!

How are you getting on @GoldIvyyou are due any day now aren’t you? Xx

@BabyBornit's terrible isn't it! I am so tired and still have 3 weeks to go at work although to be fair, I'm WfH 2 days a week as the commute was getting a bit much. Aww don't be sad, you get the lovely baby at the end of the road now. This is likely my only pregnancy so I have absolutely embraced it and gone with the flow and actually I can't complain, it's just getting tough now towards the end.

@BabyBorn @BlondeAutumnGirl hello lovely ladies! My due date was yesterday but no signs of little one yet! Although today I have been absolutely shattered and not wanting to do a thing other than sit or lie down, and burst into tears for no reason whatsoever earlier, whereas the last few weeks I’ve been super active so not sure if this might be a sign that’s her arrival is imminent ☺️☺️☺️ I’m on raspberry leaf tea, dates, moving on the yoga ball etc but also trusting that she’ll come when she’s ready!

Totally understanding you feeling funny about it being your last pregnancy, I’ve had moments of feeling like I’m really going to miss her being in my tummy but also just so excited to meet the little one! Big hugs @BabyBorn

@BlondeAutumnGirl bet you can’t wait to finish work! Xx
