    Psychosomatic Symptoms?

    I have just found out that I am pregnant & today I am feeling sick. My boobs feel heavy, my belly is uneasy, I have no appetite & I am sooo tired. Is that normal this early (5wk)? I was lucky enough to get off scott free in the morning sickness department with my first two pregnancies so this is weird. If I think about it the tiredness has been an issue for at least 8-10 days, because I mentioned being really tired to a friend last Wednesday, but otherwise it's all hit me today.

    Was I just ignoring symptoms before or passing them off as something else or is this psychosomatic & I am talking myself into symptoms? Can anyone relate?

    CONGRATULATIONS!

    Oh it can happen! I was relatively symptom free with my first 4 bub's till 6 weeks or something... then earlier this year with my 5th bub (ended early) I had so many symptoms VERY early (4-5 weeks)!

    I have a friend who is about 12 weeks and she had no morning sickness with her first 2 babies (G & B), but with this one she has suffered quite a lot more.... No word on whether it's more than one though

    Congratulations Monday. What awesome news - you must be very excited.

    If it hasn't been very long since your last pg you might have symptoms earlier. I have no idea about the science behind it, but I fell pg with DS2 when DS1 was just 11 months, and I had the symptoms (including showing) before I even knew I was pg - and based on dates I must have been 4 weeks when I got the HPT!

    i had the starts of MS at 3.5weeks - and was sick the entire time - so yes, it's possible!
