Hi - I'm just wondering if I should be worrying. I've had symptoms early on - sore BBs, tiredness, smell aversions, occasional queasiness, cramping, spotting - and saw the heartbeat at 6 wks
The last couple of weeks, all I have is tiredness (but doesn't feel more than "normal" for me), occasional sore BBs and occasional smell aversions. I don't really "feel" pg. Should I be worrying or should I just be grateful I'm having an easy preganancy so far?
I know that my symptoms eased off at the 9-10 week mark, which was really nice not running to the toilet every hour! If you totally lost symptoms I would say there might be a problem, but as long as you are still getting some it should be ok.
However I am not a health professional - and there are some on here. If you are really worried, a quick call to your caregiver will often help. Either they'll call you in to get checked ] or just discuss your sypmtoms over the phone. I made on average 1 call a week to mine until I was 18 weeks and feeling bubs regularly!
Hun, I said to someone the other day that if I didn't have confirmation of my pregnancy I would not know that I was... I have nothing on the way of symptoms this time round... Except a slight bit of tiredness and hunger, and a number of scans with a happy healthy baby growing to let me know it is real.
Although I tend not to discuss this with many people, as it feels unfair that I can have this relatively easily so far, and many people suffer in pregnancy... (I have probably just jinxed myself here )
But,as ryatha said, if you are worried, then always check with your caregiver...
Thanks ladies. I think I am just a worrier by nature. We have our 1st Ob appt tomorrow and 12 week scan in 2 weeks. I still have some small symptoms ( I forgot about the weird tightening in my hips/abdomen every time I stand up - think it's due to softening in pelvis & slack core muscles)
I just keep reading about women with loads of symptoms and wondering if there's anything wrong with me.
Don't worry I haven't felt sick all pregnancy, I don't feel pregnant at all and didn't with my first either. My HcG are always on the very low end of normal, but all is going well thus far. If you are worried, tell your ob tomorrow
When I was pg with DS I hardly had any symptoms at all (other than being hungry all the time). I too had spotting & cramping early on which made me very nervous. It wasn't until I was 19 weeks when I felt movement for the first time that I really felt pregnant.
Good luck, it can be a worrying time but am sure you will be fine.
Symptoms or lack of them mean absolutely nothing. I had very few symptoms during my pregnancy but I still birthed a bub. Having been on the forums for a while now I've noticed that the ladies who have missed miscarriages usually don't suspect a thing as their symptoms have continued on. Not meaning to alarm anyone there, but just trying to explain how symptoms mean nothing.
Thanks ladies for your reassurance. Unfortunately things aren't great.
We had an appt with the Ob today and it's not good. At 10weeks, 2 days, there was no heartbeat and bub is behind in growth. The Ob thinks bub must have died in the last 7-10 days. We're obviously devastated. I've asked for another scan next week, just in case there's a miracle, but intellectually I know it's over.
If there's no change by next Tuesday, including a natural m/c, then I'll get a D&C. Can't really believe this is happening. I know it's nature's way, but still very upsetting. All in time for DH's birthday next week too
tashybabe - I am so very sorry to hear this. It is very devastating. We are all here for you here at BB if you have any questions or just need to talk to people who understand.
10 weeks with few symptoms
