I feel like I'm just pretending to be pregnant.
I have no symptoms at all. No sore boobs, no cramping, no nausea, no tiredness (well, no more than I had previously). I feel nothing. I know it's early days yet but I'm sure I felt more happening when I was pregnant with Gab.
My doctor didn't do a BT but I wish he had. I feel like buying more HPT's and doing them for reassurance.
I'm being stupid, hey?
) dear debbie
im sure everything is ok but if you feel like you need some reassurance talk to your doctor tomorrow.my girlfriend just told me shes 6wks and is worried as she feels different 2 her 2 prev pregnancies.maybe it says how in tune we are w ith our bodies.goodluck :)
Deb, I was exactly the same with Tehya. I had no symptoms at all. Other than no AF.
I was convinced that there was something amiss. Of course there wasn't but I still got in for an early scan to be sure.
Different pregnancy hun, might mean different sex too ;) It did for me...
I think if the Dr. had been able to see something last week when I had an ultrasound I'd be more reassured. There was nothing there (I know, too early to tell). He SO didn't believe I was preggo tho cos he got me to do another HPT.
It's stupid but I'm wishing m/s on myself.
Trish - oooerr... hope you're right about the gender thing ;)
Well Deb, only about another 15 weeks until you can find out hey ;)
I'm sure he will do another scan at your next appt then. When is that ?? How cool that he has his own machine too.
Deb with all my pregnancies i never felt pg and without a DR saying i was i wouldn't have known i was.
When i was pg with Kimberley i didn't find out till 13wks so it's can be done going through the first trimester without knowing and if i hadn't done a HPT then and had a scan a few weeks late who knows how long it would have been till i found out.
If you are worried about things see if you can have a BT done.
Trish - first week of Dec I have another appointment. He's going to do another ultrasound (this time I have to do the full bladder thing.. my bladder wasn't full the other day...but then I didn't realise I was going to get an ultrasound so early!). He said if he can't see anything next time, he'll do a vaginal ultrasound. Urrgh... what to do with the pubes?? LOL
Michelle - that's reassuring. Wow @ getting to 13wks without realising! I wish I could fast forward to then, hehehe.
I'm not overly worried but I am still a little scared. I hope that doesn't sound insensitive to those that have had a loss... I know I have no idea what it feels like to lose a baby but I am scared that it may happen, iykwim?
I won't let Neil come anywhere near me. I've told him I don't want to dis-lodge the baby. I know that's silly but I just feel like it's not "sticking" like it should...
Gawd... you all probably think I sound like a paranoid looney!
Aww Deb, it's hard not to feel paranoid, especially when you hear of so many early losses. I think being a part of such a forum tends to open you up to the whole prospect of it happening just that bit more.
Hope that didn't come out sounding wrong. I have a bad habbit of putting my foot in it.
As for the pubes. I think a nice braid down each side should be great ;)
awww deb, i dont think your being paranoid at all. I still dont really believe that im pregnant, even though i have had 1 or 2little symptoms, i also feel like getting more hpt's just to be sure and i wish that the dr did a bloodtest so that theres a definate yes your pg!! I wont be seeing my dr until after my seven wk scan so i cant get a blood test now. I keep thinking that when i have the scan they will say, Nope sorry your not pregnant!! i have even dreamt that:( I am thinking that maybe i will get one more packet of hpt's next week just to make me less nervous about it not being there at the u/s. I am also worried about loss, and we all are at one stage or other i think, i just want bubba J to start growing faster so i know he/she is ok. :hug:
Jessikah
Trish - I agree. We are privy to loads of information on these forums... both happy and sad. I guess ignorance is bliss sometimes... uno, not knowing how easily something wonderful like this can be taken away from you?
Jessikah - glad I'm not the only one feeling similar. I guess it's the downfall of knowing so early, hey?
I had no symptoms at all for Jesse.. only that my period didnt arrive and he's now 2 and a half months old.. so dont worry too much, it can happen ;)
Hi Debbie Lee,
I'm the same as you with practically no symptoms but I was lucky enough (kind of) to have an u/s at 7 weeks because I've been spotting. I also do HEAPS of HPT's - my DH reckons he should have bought shares in the company! I find it reassuring for me that someone who has already had a healthy baby stil has worries - guess we're all normal! I also think there would be some mothers out there jealous that we don't have any symptoms. See if your DR can give you an early u/s - just say you're confused about your dates - that's what my girlfriend did.
Hey Deb,
I know where you coming from. I am going to the exact same anxieties. I still am not quite sure cause my tests only had faint lines come up. I know it's all normal to have these feeling though. I am sure every woman goes through it. Although i cant remember going through it with Briley.
I wont be satisfied until i see the Dr's positive pg test!! Then i think i will be fine. And so will you!! Before you know it you will be experiencing all the symptoms under the sun and be thinking WHAT THE HELL WAS I WORRIED ABOUT!!! But just remember its normal to have these worries. I bet that little bubba is nestling nicely into your womb right now!!

I had no signs with Alex until I nearly barfed at work and I was seven weeks by then and it lasted until 30 weeks. It took me three weeks after that to see my doctor.
Internal ultrasound less icky than a pap smear.
Debbie, how long would I have gone without realising if I didn't have you encouraging me to test? I still feel like I'm just playing pretend some days. (Not today - backache, nausea, headaches and fifty thousand kicks... but other days.)
Deb - that was such an early ultrasound...what did they hope to see?? I would probably feel the same as you if I'd had such an early scan.
I'll send you some *tired, nauseaus* vibes to make you feel better :) Oh.. better throw in some *sticky vibes* too ;)
Enjoy the non-m/s and I hope you feel better about it soon. How long until the next scan?
Deb :hello: remember me???? Remember how I whinged all the time cos you guys all had these great symptoms & I had nothing? I was exactly the same, stressing out big time cos I had nothing other than 2 pink lines to show that I was pregnant. Please try to enjoy it a little bit, next week you'll see little bee and then think dammit I lost the first few weeks of my pregnancy stressing.
Deb - early U/S's aren't crash hot..... My GP wanted me to wait til 9w for my first scan after the m/c because they can acutally pick everything up at that one. Any earlier, and they can have trouble even getting a heartbeat, and it means more stress for the mum.
So try not to pin too much on the u/s giving you the info you need to get you through it.
You just have to accept that 2 little lines on a stick mean you have the hormones in your system. Its bloody tough huh?
Before you know it you'll be spewing and exhausted, and wishing you could backpedal a few weeks. Enjoy your early pregnancy knowing that Miss Gab still has the best of you for a little longer!
And I lvoe Trish's suggestion of two little braids..... I'm sure the dr would be very impressed :D
You'll be right.
Deb, hun, I never knew I was preg with maddy at all til 15+ wks... Just wasnt worried or counting down when my last AF was, infact I was partyiong to hard & had no idea what day it was!! Then one day i realised my hooters hurt & figured I'd better POAS (In bali) which I did & then went , OMG what does that mean (as you buy a test but not the paperwork that explains + or -... So I called a friend in OZ & asked her to express post me some tests & they all 4 came back +....
Had I not tested I reckon I'd have not known for a few weeks longer, but the choozies by then were swollen!
With this 1 I am as crook as a dog ATM.... I was similar with Indah but cant recall feeling this bad, then again, I may have just forgotten???
I say a mohawk in the middle for the DR!! Or you could cxall & ask him what he'd prefer!!!???? ;)
hehehe with pubes!!! hehehehe.... I had a internal u/s the other week and he doesnt actually look down there you have a sheet over you and he just put the device under and finds it all good.. Doesnt feel that bad either not GREAT but not as bad as a pap smear cos i guess you get to see bubba and the heart beat thats all i cared about... GOod luck and im sure your pg and all is well maybe its a boy...
I didnt find out i was preggers with Xander until 27+4, so its possible to go through 2 tri's without knowing!! Dont stress, maybe call your dr and ask for a BT... then you will know for sure...:
I hope your boobs get sore, or you get the metallic taste, they are better pg signs than m/s....
Hey Debbie.. I know how you are feeling!! I kinda wish I had some sort of symptom that will hit me on the head and say yes you are pregnant! At the moment all I have is tiredness (I actually felt exhausted last week!) and my nipples are a little bit sore.. I guess its more than you at the moment tho! But the day will come soon when we are both hit with m/s and we will be wishing we didnt have it!
I think that I will really feel pg when I go for my u/s in a weeks time because then you get to see your baby and know yes, I am pregnant!
Thanks so much for the reassurance guys :)
Hi debbie,
I'm in the same boat as you. Nothing Nadda, I think I've got a symptom and well I don't think I could call my little trivial niggles symptoms. I think they are my imagination. I agree with everyone else about the ultrasound. There is a reason why they don't do them too ealry.
You'll be fine
Ok... I've been pretty tired the last few days... so at least 1 symptom. I've had a couple of nanna naps (could have used one today but Miss Gab didn't wanna sleep *yawn*).
Oh... and I'm soooooo emotional. Everything is making me sad and want to cry. OMG... gimme some happy pills!! LOL
