Feeling VERY NORMAL today - why?!

[Taurean]

I know I shouldn't worry but hey, I'm pregnant so isn't it a given?!

I'm 8 weeks pregnant today and have been suffering from extreme fatigue and nausea (all day and night) since week 6. I had a reasonably good day on Saturday but I was feeling off again on Sunday and felt terrible yesterday. Today I feel absolutley fine. Why?! I'm trying so hard not to worry but I somehow seem to find all the 'bad' stories on the internet when things like this happen so I've worked myself up into a right state!

My first scan is on 16 Feb (at 10 weeks) so I don't want to run off to the doctor just yet. I don't have any cramping or bleeding so I don't see the point in raising it with him yet. Knowing something could still happen between now and 10 weeks makes me think I'd only continue to worry annway.

I'm desperately looking to hear from those who have been through something similar and are now past the lovely 12 week safety line. I just need a bit of reassurance.

Thanks in advance x

Hi there,

In my 1st pg, I had a bit of tiredness in the 1st trimester and towards the end ms which continued about 1/2 way through 2nd trimester. But honestly they were the only signs I had.. I just wish this one was the same, but no such luck..

If you are feeling fine, then I would make the most of it.. Try not to work yourself up.

I understand the worry completely, as you know, but it really is normal for symptoms to come and go...even dissapear...I just asked my midwife about this the other day and that was what she told me. If you get really stressed out, maybe bring the scan forward

Hiya Taurean,
I have days when I feel absolutely dreadful and then worry all the next day when I feel fine and then feel awful again the next day.
Believe me I know it's easier said than done but I now try to enjoy the days when I'm feeling a wee bit better and can get more things done and don't seem to moan about feeling sick on the days when I feel yucky I just feel thankful. Going by my last scan I'm 11 weeks 1 day now so I'm hoping things will settle down soon although with my DS it lasted till 16 wks and with my DD it was 14 so I may have a wee way to go. I'm also having a scan in the 16th of Feb (my NT scan) so it will be an exciting day for both of us.

All the best
Cheers Missy

I am having my NT scan on the 18th...not long to wait now for any of us for that one!

and my 10 wk scan is today!

Thanks girls. I think it is normal too. I've come to the conclusion that I still feel far from 100% and meals are a constant struggle and for someone who NEVER had a problem with food, that is quite weird for me. The nausea returned for a while last night and I feel off again today. It's definitely better than it was but I think in all honesty, I'm just getting used to it.

Good luck today Possums! Can't wait to hear all about it!

1 week on Monday til my scan...waiting, waiting...
