I have mild nausea for a week (low appetite, feeling tired), then at week 6.5 I lost all the feeling. I don't feel pregnant at all. I am not sure but I thought my breast became smaller a bit?! Sounds crazy but I'm worried now.
Anyone has the same feeling? Will it be OK or it's sign of losing the bub?
Hi Catherine
Congratulations on your little one! It's very normal for your body to be adjusting up and down with all the changes - especially in the first trimester. It's so hard when bub is still so tiny and you can't feel it move yet so you don't have that reassurance.
It's also very normal to feel like you do - I had very bad morning sickness and one day I wasn't sick - of course I convinced myself something was wrong. It ended up being nothing!!
If you really feel that there's something wrong - trust that feeling and visit your doc. But it's probably just your body getting used to it all.
Good luck :D
Hello!
I was at about the same point as you in my first pregnancy and started to feel 'less pregnant' in some ways. I wasn't as sick and I had more energy. In my gut I felt something wasn't right, but as it was my first pregnancy I didn't want to be too paranoid so put the feelings aside.
The next week I went for a normal doctor appointment and it turned out that I'd had a miscarriage.
I'm absolutely not suggesting that this is what is happening in your case. However I'd encourage you to trust your gut feeling and if you think something is not right, go and get it checked out.
I hope it all ends up ok.

Hi Fiona:
With the loss of the symptoms, do you bleed? When will it bleed after the loss of symptoms?
I didn't have any bleeding during my last pregnancy.:
I did bleed after my D & C, but that was like a very heavy and very painful period.
When you feel less pregnant, do you feel it for continuously few days? It felt liked less pregnant or totally cannot feel it's pregnant?:
I'm afraid now. For your last preg, may you share more your HCG level etc? And how did it happen?:
Catherine - please don't get stressed. I did hesitate before I wrote my initial response, as I was worried you would have this reaction. I know it doesn't make it any easier, but there is nothing you can do to change what is going to happen. At this stage of your pregnancy it's either going to happen or it isn't. I know it's heartbreaking.
There was no reason for my miscarriage, just that the pregnancy wasn't developing normal and it was the bodies natural way of working these things out.
I didn't really keep track of my HCG levels as it all happened so fast. In week 5 I was pregnant, went for first doctors appoint for tests, went to the doctor the next week and I had had a miscarriage. That was it.
I'll be thinking of you, so keep us posted.
Hi Catherine,
I didn't get nausea as early as you, but I did have days when I felt like all the pregnancy symptoms had gone away. My boobs were really sore for a while, then not sore, then sore again.
Things seem to fluctuate so much. Try not to worry. Maybe for peace of mind you should go to get things checked out.
Hi GoingtobebiginAsia, when did you have nausea? I have had very mild nausea, very light and not sure to be considered as proper nausea or not.:
I have done 2 ultrasound already (to rule out ectopic) and I really wonder if I should do more. My next appointment is with Gynae at 10 week, which is still 3 weeks to go...
Catherine,
I can't remember when the nausea started. I've had such a bad run... the nausea and extreme fatigue filled up the weeks between the dreadful cold and the dreadful bout of gastro (which was followed a few days later by dengue fever). Maybe it was between weeks eight and twelve.
Hi Catherineq
How are you feeling today? If you're still worried about things it's probably best to get it checked out. Stress is no good for you or your baby.
Let us know how things go :hug:
Whatever you do don't stress!
Stress can only lead to negative thoughts. Unless you are bleeding or cramping wait until your next Dr. appt. You will get to hear the babies heart beat again. It will reasure you.
CONGRATULATIONS!
Hi all, I still don't feel much. Weird thing is after dinner when I'm full, I feel the lower abdominal bloated or tight. That's all. I really don't know weather I should see the GP again sooner. I think maybe just wait one more week. :pray:
if you're happy to wait the week than do that - remember that your body is going through so many changes and it can be completely normal to not 'feel' pregnant for a few days or even longer. your body adjusts differently to each pregnancy.
if you're going to wait until your next appointment try to relax. if you start to get stressed it might help to talk to a friend or write down how you're feeling - it sometimes helps to 'get it out' so you can calm yourself. and if you really start to feel that there's something wrong - do make an appointment at the doc.
good luck this week catherine :D
If it makes you feel better, it is a great sign you feel bloated. That is definitely a sign of being pregnant. lol I am as bloated as a whale right now!
Just as a quick P.S. A lot of my pregnancy symptoms have come and gone over the past 20 weeks. It has worried me too, at times.
Try not to stress about it.
With my son's pregnancy my BB's started to feel completely normal again at about the same stage you are at now. They never really got sore again. I never got what I would call MS during the pregnancy - yet I was still pregnant. I remember feeling really worried - I'd already had 3 losses at the 5 week mark & just thought "here I go again" but it was not the case. I seriously felt very "normal" throughout much of the pregnancy.
I wouldn't worry about seeing a doctor unless you get spotting. That was always the first sign for me that a loss was imminent, but even then I had two lots of that with the last pregnancy & it meant absolutely nothing.
I also think bloating is a good sign, man I remember that feeling! My 'symptoms' also would come and go during my first trimester, sick one day, fine the next.
As the other girls have said, only worry if you have cramping PLUS bleeding. It's very normal to have bad cramps at this stage as your body prepares to carry the growing bub.
Keep us updated, don't stress! :D
Yesterday night I cried because I "seriously" thought that my BB is less firm as few days ago plus I can sleep in "any" position and do not feel a thing. I felt muscle pulling if I changed to side position last week but now nothing. BB lesser firmer and feeling nothing sounds scary to me.
I just read all your posts, girls and it helps me to relieve a bit. What should I do? Try to stay as if I'm pregnant and wait for next appointment with dr. :pray: God bless me!
If it makes you feel better I could sleep on my stomach until I was like 11 or 12 weeks. Also I was always super concerned about wether or not I would miscarry with this baby because right before I concieved her I did miscarry. So I would check all my symptoms all the time. But I agree with these girls symptoms come and go. the only really bad sign is extreme cramping and bleeding. I have faith everything will be fine.
GOOD LUCK!
catherine go to your doctor.. it is the only way to relieve your stress... you getting stressed in only elevating your chances of something happening please go to your doctor today right now and they will most likely send u for a scan.
I agree with ttcanxiety. If you are overly stressed about this you should go to relieve your stress. Stress really is not good for you or bub.
Thinking of you!
When I was pregnant with my first, I felt really sick more or less as soon as I find out. I had a threatened miscarriage and was actually told I'd miscarried, and the symptoms went away. Turns out I was still pregnant and the symptoms returned a week after I found out. I think the first time I didn't actually have symptoms, I was just sick with a flu lol.
I initially decided to delay the visit to GP as except the feeling is gone, there is nothing wrong with me, no bleeding and cramping whatsoever. But I can't help because I am really energetic these two days as if I am not pregnant. So I went to the same GP this morning.
She is helpful but said most preg woman's feeling is inaccurate based on her experience. If there's nothing wrong, why I need to do more tests? It seems a little hard to justify why I want an u/s again. But if that helps me to reassure, she will do that.
And the result is, it measured 7 week 6 days (more days than what was measured last time) and the hb is good. What a relief! :dance:
So what happened? 1 week of pregnancy feeling (light nausea, uterus muscle pulling, sore BB and tender BB, no appetite, tired), then another week of NO pregnancy feeling (no nausea, no uterus muscle pulling, no sore BB/BB less firm, good appetite, energetic as if no pregnant). I also don't know what happened.
I really thanks the friends in this thread and it really help me to go over the negative feeling. :) Phew, I can enjoy my weekend this week.
that is such a relief. i am glad you got checked out.
that's great news catherine. now relax and enjoy this little bundle that's growing inside of you :)
I'm so glad you had your scan and bubba is okay. Hopefully you can relax now, enjoy the rest of your pregnancy. :D
Yeah, enjoy the no symptoms while you can! Because some things are just awful.
I'm over the moon! :D
