I'm 5 weeks 5 days today and I've hardly had any symptoms. Earlier today I felt a bit nauseas but it only lasted an hour then went away after I ate something. The only real symptoms I've been having is some very mild cramping which I've put down to stretching pains but these only last a few minutes and I'm more tired than usual. I've given up on watching any movie at night because as soon as 6.30 comes around my eyes feel like they're about to fall out of their sockets.

Are there any other ladies on here that didn't have symptoms straight away and if so how many weeks were you when you started to get them? My Mum keeps telling me that she never had much ms with any of the 3 of us and all the pregnancy books tell me I should count myself lucky.

I guess it would just be nice to feel ms so that this pg feels more real.
I found out I was pg at about 6w, when I was concerned my period was late and did a test. I then retrospectively applied symptoms: tiredness, sore breasts ONCE for TWO SECONDS!, getting out of breath easily... threw up at 10w pg, then after some dodgy food (raw onion) twice, then once at 20w.

TBH, if I didn't track my cycle and didn't do a test, the first symptom I would have had was feeling a bit fat, then seeing a kick. A proper "ooh, there's a little spike an inch long coming out that stomach". I didn't get a pg belly until about 25w (in my eyes: friends told me I just looked a bit fat rather than pg), and it took until term before people realised I was pg: I had work colleagues who didn't know asking me why I was leaving when I was in my third trimester! And in normal clothes all the way through.

Oh, the sciatica didn't help me. But that went away when I wore 4" heels, which I would have been wearing anyway had I not known I was pg, so that wouldn't have actually been any help.
