    Symptomless Subsequent Pregnancies

    Hello All,

    I found out a week ago that I am expecting #2, I am about 5 weeks along at the moment. Having a dating scan next Friday. I'd be due in early September.

    This pregnancy is so very different to my first. My first I was sick from before I tested, exhausted, peeing heaps, super emotional, nauseous with food aversions. This lasted until about 12 weeks.

    This time I have had very minimal symptoms. Occasionally feel a little off in my tummy but nothing I would notice if I knew to look for it. No sore boobs. Not heaps tired (can still stay up past 10pm). No food aversions, not overly hungry.

    I know every pregnancy is different, this has really thrown me! I don't want to stress this early on, help me find my zen!

    Anyone else has this experience, of having a symptomless pregnancy the second time around?

    For my second pregnancy my symptoms hit later, about 12 weeks. They were still very mild though but noticeable because I was looking for them

    It can be very scary. I ended up going to the GP a few times for reassurance during the first trimester due to lack of symptoms.

    Hope you have a smooth easy pregnancy.

    I had no symptoms with my 3rd. I didn't even realise I was pregnant for 6 months, until I felt her move.

    I really didn't get any symptoms after my first either. I was tired, but I had full on toddlers to chase

    I had zero symptoms with Liebs, so much so I thought it was an endocrine problem instead of a pregnancy! If I hadn't noticed a missing period, I'd not have known until the kicks at 5m.

    Don't think I'm going to get away as lightly with Stormy.

    Wow, great hearing people's experiences! Had some lower back pain today and felt tired but again wouldn't have noticed if I wasn't on symptom watch.

    Maybe this is going to be a smooth lovely pregnancy

    I had symptoms of all kinds with my first pregnancy, most notable the extreme morning sickness. That pregnancy ended in miscarriage.
    My two subsequent have been all but symptomless, so needless to say, I found it reassuring to *not* have the symptoms!
