Be careful putting that out into the universe! ha! I was the same way & then about week 10 - the only food I think I could eat was cereal & apples! ha! But I know what you mean - I would tell my husband "i want reassurance baby is still in there". ha!
Nope, no symptoms for me other than a slightly irregular period...(I had a period 3 months into being pregnant)
@spraguebride: I was totally fine my first trimester, a little more tired than normal and sore boobs, but no major nausea. My mom and grandma said they were the same way so I felt more "normal" when they told me that. Especially since it seems like EVERYONE has morning sickness.
I get this rolling feeling every so often. It's not quite strong enough to be considered nausea, but it is uncomfortable. It just feels like I just got off an amusement park ride. My boobs are a little sore, but it's only noticeable sometimes. What has been getting to me is the constant dull ache of the back cramps. I have had those now for probably about 6 weeks. It is not super painful, but again, uncomfortable.
I take that back, the worst part is not the cramps, it's the bloat. I don't have a baby bump yet (just over nine weeks), but there is a definite bloat making all my pants super uncomfortable, and almost makes me cry when I see myself without a shirt.
@camrie: It DOES seem like everyone gets morning sickness so you feel "abnormal" that you don't. I also just say "not yet" because I assume that it will happen
This is my 1st pregnancy though, so I have no idea how my body acts. Maybe I will be one of the lucky ones....but I keeping thinking "I have been lucky so far...but it's going to happen" ;-)
For a couple of days I had some sharp uterine pain, random gas, more thirsty but that's about it.
No sore breasts, no sickness, no nausea, I still sleep on my tummy...I also don't have a pooch (11 weeks). I'm weird.
I had no morning sickness either (only sore boobs and tiredness)... and I totally hear you... it's both a blessing and a curse! I was happy that I feel sick, but at the same time I wanted the assurance from my body that things were changing! I didn't actually feel pregnant until I started feeling the kicks--and because of my anterior placenta I just started feeling those on the later side too (around 21 weeks is when I was sure).
Everyone handles pregnancy differently, and from what I've heard every pregnancy is different!
I didn't get morning sickness either. Our symptoms sound pretty similar. I definatley felt pregnant most of the time because I was super tired. Also around 12 weeks I got really nauseous for about 2 weeks, never puked but there were times I wanted to, it was just all day every day nausea at the end of the first trimester.
My symptoms come and go and it freaks me out. Somedays I'm horribly sick and the next I feel totally normal and not pregnant at all. For three days last week I felt amazing and got totally paranoid that the worst had happened. Three days of the worst "morning" sickness yet have followed. As crazy as it sounds, I wish it was consistent so I didn't freak out (so does my hubby).
That said, we saw the heartbeat this week, so I have calmed down considerably.
I know that mentally it might be hard not "feeling" pregnant, but careful what you wish for! :)
My symptoms were about the same. I was just slightly nauseated sometimes, and my gag reflex was sensitive (I almost threw up every time I brushed my teeth but I'd fight it). Otherwise mine were like yours...just kind of pre-period-like symptoms of sore boobs, slight crampiness, and bloating!
I'm at the end...my due date is Monday! And I have to say, I've enjoyed being pregnant up until this last uncomfortable stage. I have had just "normal" symptoms and a very good pregnancy. I actually told my friend half-jokingly that I'd be her surrogate... :)
I'm jealous! I had morning sickness but that didn't bother me nearly as much as the constant severe migraines. And the breaking out isn't fun either.
I will be 4 weeks tomorrow and i feel lik ive been having some pretty pronound symtoms since i got my BFP. Minor cramping, shortness of breath, very hungry, very fatique, boobs hurt, back hurts, etc...but i know symptoms can hit you like a ton of bricks, i guess ill see whats up in 2 weeks once i hit 6 weeks and they said the symptoms really start then..
hahaha first I'd like to say that we are on the EXACT same timeline. I'm gestation 8 weeks tomorrow too. I wonder why our due dates are one day off? But any ways, when I found out I was pregnant I had NO symptoms for the first 2 weeks. It wasn't until this week that morning sickness hit me really hard (not being able to eat until dinner SUCKS) and with that came just about everything else. I have the sore boobs and what not for a while, but the morning sickness caught me off guard with striking so late.
@artbee: I guess I didn't list ALL my symtoms
I have been breaking out like CRAZY! It's really annoying.
And I don't feel sick to my tummy, but because my guts are so bad, there is not a lot I can eat because everything upsets my "system"
@firsttimemom: What was the first day of your last period?
I think I am a week behind you....mine period started on Jan 1st...so it says that my due date is Oct 8th. Though I don't understand the extra week...I would think that Jan 1 - Oct 1 is 10months...don't get it ...but all the site I check tell me Oct 8th
Wow! Really?! I just hope I have such a good pregnancy. I'm a big baby though so I am sure I will hate the 3rd trimester with my big belly. But who knows...maybe I will be one of those few people that says they like being pregnant. Not getting my hopes up though :-) I'm expecting swollen ankels, peeing myself when I laugh, and not able to tie my shoes LOL!
@spraguebride: I just said that in the PM! :) My last period was Dec.31 making me due on Oct. 7, which like you said is way over 9 months but WTEWYE says they allow for the extra time because most babies are born past the 40th week and the egg isn't even fertilized until week 2 or 3. So, it all makes sense I guess.
Oh ok....I just mark my "weeks" by when my period was due. So it was "4 weeks" that day...which was a Saturday...so now I say I am the next week every saturday. I use a few websites and they say the same thing.
BUT I alwways get confused. Like...right now I am IN my 8th week. But as my husband says...a baby is not 1 yrs old until they are at 12months or past. So I am IN my 8th week but I think I am techinally "7 weeks". Saturday I will START my 9th week...but I will be 8 weeks. I think that's how it works but I have no clue?
I know what you mean. I didnt FEEL pregnant until just the last 2 weeks or so (Im 19 weeks) because I have had zero symptoms except exhaustion the first 11 weeks or so. The doctor said its totally fine, we should feel lucky. But I wanted to feel pregnant bc it didnt seem real or something.
As for the weeks, you're technically at 8 weeks pregnant, but at 6 or 7 weeks gestation. When the doctor says that you hit 12 weeks, its 12 weeks pregnant (from day 1 of last period.) I dont know why they do it either but its what works I suppose =o)
@spraguebride: I think they count it like you are not eight weeks pregnant until you finish your 8th week. It's confusing. I was also confused when I found out that at 40 weeks pregnant you are in your 10th month. So now at 37 weeks I am in my 9th month but the month has not finished yet, so I'm not yet 9 months pregnant.
@spraguebride: Of course those things will happen (and have happened to me) but I guess i'm more easygoing about it than others! Not that I had NO symptoms (believe me, I've had them!) they just haven't bothered me as much as they bother other people I guess. My skin broke out like crazy first and second trimesters and cleared up, then broke out again for a little while then it's been the clearest my skin has EVER been for about a month! I love it! :) I think no tanning and the amount of water I drink now helps so much (and no drinking alcohol probably doesn't hurt either!).
Just take it as it comes and know that this too, shall pass! :)
FYI to many of you -- they say you are already considered "2 weeks" or something when you are ovulating. It says somewhere in the beginning of the What to Expect book :)
@Spraguebride- I completely understand what you are going through. I have had very little symptoms. I've been tired and my boobs have gotten bigger (but are not sore). That's IT! Oh and I haven't had my period since Dec. I had an ultrasound today and was anxious because of my lack of symptoms, but everything was measuring exactly where it should be. I went in thinking I was 12w4d and the ultrasound confirmed that I'm 12w4d :) I guess I can stop worrying that something's wrong. I know it's hard (because EVERYONE told me the same thing) but enjoy the fact that you aren't praying to the porcelain Gods on a daily basis :)
All the best!
I hear you! On Tuesday I'll be 10 weeks, and I keep wondeing if and when morning sickness is going to start. I do have some stomach upset, and it basically feels like I'm hungry all the time, even after I just ate. That was worse around 6 to 8 weeks but now that has pretty much subsided. I had back pain in the very beginning but that was it. My boobs are huge and sore most of the time, and I feel unbelievably bloated. I also felt extremely exhausted for the first six weeks or so, but then I started shooting for 9 hours of sleep each night and that has helped with tiredness during the day.
Other than that, knock wood, I feel pretty good!
But I'm with you. It is a bit disconcerting. I keep wondering if I'm still pregnant!

Sorry, there are no users yet.
Now...I am NOT complaining that I don't have morning sickness yet, but at the same time, I wish I felt more pregnant. I think if i was puking I would think "well atleast I still know I am still pregnant" haha! I know, crazy, I know! :-)
I will be 8 weeks tomorrow and my symptoms consist of
*Sore Boobs (like hard to sleep because I can't lay on them)
*Being Thirsty ..thus peeing more also
*Being Tired
and i have IBS so my guts have been all over the place
Did you not have have very many symptoms this early on?
