I am about 5w3d. First pregnancy.

Have been testing HCG levels and they are rising so all looks good so far in that department.

I don’t have many symptoms yet though at all - my boobs are a bit sore, I have been a bit bloated/gassy/constipated and twice I have felt a bit dizzy when I first wake up in the morning but that’s it!

I think I have a couple of weeks before they are typically at their worst but tbh my lack of symptoms is making me a bit anxious! Not that I want to be throwing up all the time either!

Unhelpfully, it's different for everyone (and between pregnancies, I hear). I was speaking to the GP about unbearable nausea by 6w2d but I then had an awful time with it til 18-20w and am still on nausea meds today at over 34w pregnant so that's relatively unusual to say the least.

My friend didn't really have any symptoms until 8w+. We're both still pregnant with seemingly healthy babies (fingers crossed) so I would, as much as I hated reading it at the time, try to stop worrying about it. There's nothing you can control at this point which is really hard, but also freeing in a way.

Best of luck!

Oh - and congratulations!!

Other than periods stopping and a growing belly, I had no other symptoms at all until much later in the pregnancy, and that was just needing to wee a lot. 2 healthy babies, both pregnancies the same. Congratulations!

I felt fine and full of energy until seven weeks when I felt like I was hit by a bus

Apart from my boobs growing (and my bump) I’ve had nothing at all, aside from missed periods and now I’m 34 weeks. Not a day sick, my sex drive and energy levels didn’t drop in the first trimester. Nothing.

Everyone is different

Mine always started 7 weeks in.
