    With my first and second pg I felt instantly nauseous and had the sorest boobs on the planet. The next two were chems, but I remember feeling queasy and a bit off for a few days even after the bleeding started.

    This time, I feel pretty normal. I'm working hard not to obsess over how not sick I feel. I'm 5w5d today. I have had a few waves of nausea but nothing intense, just a general dizzy and blergh feeling which passes very quickly. Boobs are sore but nothing spectacular. The only real symptoms I've had so far are extreme tiredness, and mild cramping and bloating. I'm not sure if I'm so exhausted because this time I have a toddler to chase around, and a stressful job........ or if it's pregnancy tiredness. All the same, I wake up every morning feeling like I've been up all night! Getting dressed for work makes me want to cry because I'm so damn exhausted. Oh wait, there's another symptom.... emotional! I have to hold back the tears at really stupid moments. I even got into an argument with a coworker yesterday because of his smart mouth, and my inability to control my emotions! We were besties for a while there but now I just want to punch him. Is 'punchiness' a symptom?

    Thanks for all the supportive and helpful replies ladies

    It seems I've spoken too soon about having no ms because now I have it! The very next morning after posting this I had my first feeling of ms and even as I sit here now I'm feeling pretty dodgy. This is definitely not a fun feeling but I finally got what I was waiting for. It started smack bam 5 weeks 5 days. And my energy levels have just dropped so much I'm soooo tired. In fact bed sounds really good to me right now.

    I can now say I officially FEEL pregnant!

    Three cheers for morning sickness! Hope you keep on enjoying it I must admit, I loved mine. Probably because it was so rare.

    On the up side, the tiredness can vanish in the second trimester, which isn't that far away now.
