1st Trimester

Don't "feel" pregnant

I'm 7 weeks pregnant (if we're correct in our estimate - I see my physician next week) and other than peeing a lot and having sore boobs and a constant headache, I don't 'feel" pregnant. I am not in the least tired, and I don't have cravings or morning sickness. Not that I'm complaining! Anyone else like me? All the books say I should feel exhausted, but I'm averaging 5 hours of sleep a night because I just can't relax! Maybe it'll be better after I've gone for my first appointment...

?

Re: Don't "feel" pregnant

  • That is exactly like me! I never really got any symptoms either, other than fatigue. Enjoy it!! By the way, I still don't "feel" pregnant yet. Advice I've gotten is that I will when I see a bump or feel the baby move thats when it will hit me.

  • Thank you kleopatra. I think I'm anxious to confirm there's actually a baby - reading about chemical pregnancies and other causes of positive pregnancy tests (I took 3) has made me nervous, even though it's been 7 weeks...it's good to know not everyone has symptoms!

  • W/ DS, I didn't "feel" pg until I started showing and feeling him move at ~20 weeks.  I don't "feel" pg right now, either, so I'm just calling it lucky! ;)

  • FWIW, other than being tired, hungry and a few headaches, I still don't "feel" pregnant...unless of course you count the belly and rib kicks.  You may be one of the lucky ones that doesn't have to endure the endless m/s, etc.  GL.
  • other than needing sleep I really dont feel pregnant either I guess we should just be glad were lucky that were not sick or swollen yet. GL at the doctors be ready to be probed a lot lol.
  • Don't worry, you will :-) I went through several weeks of that...and then the crappy feeling, exahustedness and all that showed up!
  • I'm definitely the same way!  Granted I get morning sickness, but if I'm eating throughout the day I don't, so I feel almost normal.  I have my dr appt this week too and I was worrying about the same thing.
  • I only started feeling pregnant very recently when my belly started sticking out a little bit. Now that it's getting harder to put on my socks and shoes, I am fully realizing there is a baby in there! Also, getting an ultrasound and seeing the little guy/gal on the screen will make it very real, too. :)

  • I am in the same boat.  I really only felt crappy during week 6 and that has passed.  I haven't been to a doctor yet, and won't see mine until 12w3d so I am so scared that I will have a missed m/c or something because I have been feeling pretty normal. I do have tender bbs and an occasional wave of nausea, but compared to some symptoms i've heard I am feeling pretty good... I am trying to embace that and be thankful and hope for the best!
  • I didn't feel pg with DS, same with this little one.
  • I had very few symptoms (besides sore boobs) until a few days ago.  Now I'm sleeping 9 hours a night and have a pretty constant low lying nausea.  I don't know that I feel "pregnant" so much as I feel like crap.
  • Thank you everyone. It's reassuring to know how different everyone's early symptoms are!
  • Totally normal.  Some days your boobs may not hurt and some they may.  Be lucky you don't have the exhaustion (at least not yet).  See what happens after your appt. 

    I am almost 13 weeks and have not had any m/s.

  • Thats exactly how I feel. I had morning sickness in week 4 and 5 where I could bairly eat anything and it has gone away. I do get sore boobs that come and go and I do fall asleep at 9 every night and if I can sleep till 9 am :) but other than that I feel like my normal self. I was just reading about missed miscarriages and it said the only sign of them is the loss of pregnancy symptoms so now thats my latest thing im worrying about. Im such a worry wart!!! Im really hoping and praying that everything is OK! I cant wait to go to the doctor this Friday! It does make me feel better that other people are having this lack of symptoms!

  • I've been pretty sick with m/s (all day all night) but other than that. I didnt start feeling really tired until last week. I think it is just so different for every woman that it's hard to compare sometimes. Just enjoy it while it lasts!

  • I'm in the same boat!  I think i'm around 6 weeks and I was nauseous about a week ago but since then nothing.  I don't really have sore bb's and I don't have to pee that much.  My last pg, I had extremely sore bb's by this point and felt super hungry with slight cramping feelings.  I too am totally scared of a missed miscarriage since i have no symptoms but I'm just trying to stay positive.  i don't go to the dr. until 1/22 so it will be a long wait.
