At 6w3d, I have no nausea or vomiting but other pleasant symptoms such as constipation or diarrhea, gas, some stomachaches, sore boobs and backache. The last few days I can't stop sleeping. I remember two weeks ago jogging and thinking that I'd continue to do so throughout the pregnancy. Ha, I was delusional. My dog's food also smells disgusting to me, but Burger King smelled delightful earlier today when I drove by.
Freaking myself out because Ive had all the symptoms. Nausea,constant peeing, fatigue ect. As of about two days ago with the exception of the sore boobs my symptoms have subsided. I'm 8wks today and wont have my first appt till Dec9th. Should I be worried?
Same but I'm only 6wk4 days. My first appt is 12/7. I'll update then. I did feel crappier today after 2 days of feeling normal so mentally that helped. My husband says says you're pregnant, we know you're pregnant, and that's all wd need to know unless we know otherwise. He's right. All this stress is likely for nothing so why torture ourselves.
I am so glad to see this today. I am 6 to 6 1/2 weeks and felt too good this morning. I wasn't nauseous my boobs didn't hurt nothing. We have previous losses so I am constantly concerned we are going to loose our lightening bug. I look forward to my appointment on the 6th so I can get another look at that little heart beating away!

It seems Sunday's are not good for me. My symptoms have been pretty mild until today, but still nothing extreme. My back hurt, I had no appetite, my boobs have become the size of melons, and I was slightly queasy.
On the bright side, I just bought myself belly bands so I don't have to kill my uterus trying to close my jeans. Freedom!
I had the "what if our baby stops growing" convo with my DH this morning. I told him I'm reading too many boards. He said we got pregnant right away when we thought it would take months and we've both been personally having a great year so he is just going to continue to believe that everything is going to work out in our favor. Damn, I love that man.
My doc gave me requisitions for blood work and a dating ultrasound for when I'm approx 9w. (Dec 9) I told her I was nervous that maybe I wasn't pregnant. She asked " Do your boobs hurt? You are pregnant "
I need to remind myself over and over ever mild symptoms are symptoms. And to ctfd (calm the blank down)
I'm totally with you! My first U/S is also on December 9th and I've still yet to feel any real symptoms at all. It makes me feel so crazy because I don't feel like the whole pregnancy thing is real yet. Glad I'm down to less than a week for my appointment!
Hi ladies, here's an update from my apparently hypochondriac self. Just left the Dr's office and the US showed a very active baby with a stong little heart beat! I hope it will help with some of the anxiety we all share

Thanks for this update, because today I just don't feel pregnant at all. I'm waiting for our hb scan and to get my us for first trimester screening, they have yet to call me back though. The stress today is real.
Also a bit freaked out for lack of symptoms. Tomorrow I'll be 6 weeks, and my first appointment is Thursday so even though it's fast, I'm scared they won't see anything and it'll just terrify me more. I'm new to this so I don't really know how posting and replies work, so hopefully this is right
I had an early ultrasound at 5 weeks 2 days, and we saw the heartbeat. But I'm still freaking out that the baby just stopped growing. I don't have many symptoms except for sore boobs, frequent peeing, and bloating on some days. I would give almost anything to get another look at the heartbeat and to hear a doctor tell me everything is still ok. We are telling our family at Christmas, then my next US is scheduled for Jan 5. I'm so afraid of telling family only to get bad news 10 days later. Ugh...
Yesterday I became a tad more symptomatic at 8 w 6 d. Although not having symptoms is scary, in all likelihood we have a healthy bean growing and are just fortunate. Laying there last night with my nausea and super sore boobs, I grinned like a fool comforted by my discomfort.
Alright, I get afternoon nausea. This is now the 4th day in a row and I'm going to say it's a symptom. I just had a salad and the sea monkey is not impressed at all.
I don't get nausea, I just haven't had an appetite. And the only things I can stomach eating are junk. I force myself to eat, but I don't eat that much. It feels like a constant knot in my stomach.

Yeah, I have that too. I don't eat a lot at all anymore, I've noticed less problems eating junk food as well. I really just need to get to next tuesday at 9am, but then there's the constant knot in my stomach that there's going to be something wrong. I just want to feel relaxed and enjoy this.
This thread helps so much. I'm 9 weeks + 1 day and I've had minimal symptoms. Week 4 -7 I didn't really feel anything. Week 7-8 1/2 I had nausea and did throw up a few times. While I dreaded throwing up each morning, and that horrible nauseous feeling, it make me feel good to have morning sickness because it made me feel pregnant. And now the last few days I haven't really felt anything. Kind of freaks me out. I keep pinching my nipples to make sure they are tender! It's nice to know I'm in the same boat as many, because sometimes I feel like the way I think is crazy!

Same!! Goldfish, chocolate chip cookies, and Sargento Balanced Breaks are all I'm having any desire for. Oh, and Thanksgiving turkey which is gone now. Asked DH last night if we can smoke a chicken so I can just have something I want that is substantial
coloradobnb That makes me feel a bit better and more excited for tomorrow... what I've read has made me skeptical I'll be able to hear a heartbeat and, even though I know it's early, it'd still freak me out. We're planning on telling my fam at Christmas too
I told my DH the baby wanted an egg roll. He told me the baby hasn't developed taste buds yet and I had to eat leftover turkey pot pie. I'm so sick of turkey.
Insomnia at 9 weeks too. Just at night - then I fall asleep at 6 am and sleep until dinner time. I usually work nights and I have found it nearly impossible to flip lately. Today is the first day in 9 weeks I haven't had sore boobs. The nausea is constant though, still have never thrown up. I would give anything for the nausea to go away.
Thanks, I actually needed to see this. My symptoms, which have been fairly mild thus far (super sore boobs, nausea all day though not super intense, really bad indigestion and peeing ever 5 seconds) all seemed to disappear over night so I'm sitting here trying not to freak out over it. Hubby has been telling me that my skin feels super hot ever since even before we knew we were pregnant, and this morning he told me I don't feel very hot. Cue freak out. He renigged after we got out of bed but it still has me really worried. Going to make an appointment for tomorrow just to ease my mind. I should be 8wks2d.
FTM here, 9 weeks tomorrow and I haven't had many symptoms other than tired, frequent bathroom trips, bloated, and some breast soreness on and off (that I check for everyday to see if it's really there or just in my head haha). So I was super anxious in the weeks leading up to my first appointment yesterday. When I told my ob I didn't have any nausea and I've felt pretty good he just said I was one of the "lucky ones." How many times have we heard that? Well when the ultrasound kicked on there was our sweet little peanut!! We couldn't hear anything but we could see a strong beating through the flutters. Such a relief and an amazing experience!! So don't worry mommies! Hopefully this helps ease some minds. Ditto what everyone has said - small symptoms are still symptoms! My sweet husband kept reassuring me that I was just worrying for nothing (and I'm typically high anxiety anyway) but there's nothing like seeing it with your own eyes to really ease your worries. Hope the weeks to your first visit go quickly for those waiting!
I was freaking out for weeks about no or few symptoms and I found out at my ultrasound on Wednesday that I'm carrying twins. The US tech was like "and you're not having morning sickness? You're so lucky." But the twins also measured 5 and 8 days behind what I was expecting, so maybe MS will read her ugly head in the next couple weeks. (One twin had a heartbeat at 6w1d and the other didn't at 5w5d, so we'll check again in two weeks.)
STM here, just to provide some reassurance....I had ZERO symptoms last year. A lot of people say "only a little nausea, my boobs hurt..." those are symptoms haha. But I had the easiest pregnancy!! It was awesome. It's so hard in the beginning not to worry all the time, but trust me, plenty of people have good, easy pregnancies. Including both of my best friends!
I'm 9 weeks now, and felt pretty exhausted and mildly nauseous from weeks 6-8 (never really sick) with heartburn. And then, all of the sudden, over Thanksgiving, stuff started feeling SO much better. Maybe because I was at my MIL's and she totally babies me and lets me sleep late and take naps? Or because I made a point to get out and walk around the neighborhood every day?
But of course I got super nervous. Started constantly manhandling my boobs to see if they were sore and such. We had our U/S yesterday, and everything is just as expected. Baby there, nice heartbeat, and moving around a little! So I think the severity of symptoms really is just variable for people!
So happy to see this thread! Mild nausea, sleepy, and sore boobs are my only symptoms and they are all very mild and with finals and dreary weather I'm not sure which is causing everything. Luckily I talked to my mom and she told me that she was the same way, in fact with my younger sister she didn't know she was pregnant until she was 4 months along! And my sis had very little nausea with my niece. I still feel better when I'm feeling at my worst but try not to worry too much and be patient until my U/S in exactly a week.
I'm 7w and the only symptoms I've had are sore breasts, occasional fatigue, and peeing a lot.
What I hate is how I've been treated by other people who ask how sick I've been. When I say I'm not, some people just say oh and walk away or tell me that morning sickness is a sign of a healthy baby. People who have children are saying that! Yes please freak me out a little more why don't you!? I had one day where I threw up and turns out my husband and I both had it, so it was a bug. When I mentioned it at work, everyone was so excited and telling me that they were relieved that I'd finally gotten sick and that "that's what real pregnancy is."
I had my first appointment Thursday when I was 6w4d and the heart was just beating away, so little bean is in there!

Alright ladies, just had my heart beat scan appointment, and everything has checked out, took them a little while to find the sea monkey and it was quiet but it's at 170 so everything is looking great. I have another appointment in two weeks for a ultra sound and blood work so I'll give you another update when that happens.
Alright, mamas. I just left my early u/s (I'm 7 weeks today) and was able to see baby and hear/see his or her strong heartbeat (171 bpm). I feel so much more at ease about all my "slight" symptoms now!
FTM, 8w4d. Only symptoms I've had are fatigue, sore boobs, and frequent peeing.
I didn't really expect to get morning sickness because I NEVER get sick—I'm not even sure I know what nausea feels like. But when it didn't come at six, seven, or eight weeks, I did start to worry a bit. Surely pregnancy couldn't be this easy. Surely I should feel something... right?
But I had my first U/S this morning and baby is all nestled in with a strong heartbeat! Now I know for sure—I'm pregnant whether or not I feel like it!
Thanks for all the updates. There are times I feel like I am drowning in a wave of fear that my little one is no longer. Hearing good stories let's me take a breath

ok my update, had appt monday and ultrasound just now. Firstly, the symptoms came back in full swing. Which everyone said would happen but who listens.... And baby is fine. HCG is appropriately high and I saw the heartbeat today, its 125.
Only thing is baby is measuring 6 days behind which is just completely impossible bc I know when I ovulate and I have 28 day cycles. So i am trying not to worry about that too much but knowing that I had symptoms on the day I supposedly conceived is just weird. They were real symptoms too, I wasn't trying to get pregnant, the symptoms were my indicator to test.
At 6 weeks 4 days I'm kind of waiting for the big symptoms to kick in.. where's the nausea/morning sickness everyone talks about? I'm literally counting down the days until my dr's appt on 12/29. That's not until I'm (estimated) 9 weeks 2 days! The "good" news is I'm experiencing CRAZY levels of exhaustion.. like fell asleep at my desk twice today kind of exhaustion. Not too enjoyable but at least it's a pregnancy symptom. Same with my crazy painful/engorged boobs. No matter what I feel like I'm going to be so anxious until I hear that heartbeat.
I'm going to be 11 weeks tomorrow, and they have never kicked in for me. I've just been tired these past two days, going to bed at 6 pm and not even caring. You've got symptoms.
Re: For the anxious FTM's who don't have any noticeable symptoms.
