Not many symptoms... still (long vent)

shrtfrkgrl

I still haven't had too many symptoms. I know I consider myself lucky not have have the morning sickness, but I do dry heave sometimes (which doesn't help because my gag reflex was sensitive before now its a little bit more sensitive). The only things I have really had are the breasts are growing and tender, food aversions, positive pregnancy test (DUH . . . lol), and the ultrasound. What is weird is I am not really even hormonal (crying, getting angry, laughing for long periods of time) since usually during my period or before I am.

I know it is still early for anything real serious, but sometimes it makes me wonder what is going on inside of me. I am just anxious to when I will start really getting a belly and feeling the baby move. Also, I am anxious because it has almost been a fear of mine for years that I might now ever get pregnant or have trouble getting pregnant. Now I just hope nothing happens. It almost makes me want to buy a fetal doppler and just wear it 24/7. I feel crazy!

How possible is it to actually have a pregnancy that doesn't have any dramatic feelings or symptoms? I don't want a horrible, miserable pregnancy, it sucks for women who do and I know a lot of you may think *** you are lucky (true), but the thoughts that go through my head because I am not is scary.

Thanks for the vent! It's nice to vent to women and not my DH who just laughs at me.

Ok I mean this with no snarkiness but, what kinds of "serious" symptoms are you expecting?  Dry heaving IS morning sickness (you just aren't getting anything up), breast tenderness is a symptom, food aversions are symptoms.  There aren't really a lot of other ones!

Everyone is different and every pregnancy is different.  When I was pg with DD I was sick as hell for 5-6 weeks.  This time I feel great.

You just have to relax, being worried, stressed and anxious isn't good on the growing baby.  I know it's hard to do, it took us 3 years and 6 m/c before having DD, but it's the best thing for you and the baby.  Regardless, it's out of our hands.

It's possible to have a full term pregnancy with no symptoms, have you ever heard of the show "I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant!"?  I asked the nurses and L&D and they said it's very common.

I started to show around 14 wks but I know of women who didn't show until 30 wks. As for movement it depends on how active your LO is.  I felt DD at 13 wks and she has never stopped moving (she's almost 2 now).

 Just relax, you'll start showing and get kicked in the lungs & crotch before you know it.  Then you'll be asking for it to stop.

Lurking here, there's a chance I'll be joining you on 1st tri but it's too early to be sure.  I wanted to jump in because I can tell you're having some serious anxiety right now.  I had absolutely no clue I was pregnant the first time until I took a test 2 weeks after a missed period.  I never really had pregnancy "symptoms" until the last few weeks (and trust me, you don't want to know what they were!).  It felt so strange that I actually took a test at home around 14 weeks because it seemed unreal to me that I was still pregnant but felt nothing.  Anyway, DS was born at 40 weeks and 1 day and is now an insanely happy, healthy 10 month old baby.

Other women hate to hear about how easy my pregnancy was, but I wanted to let you know you may be perfectly normal.  It was pure luck, I'm not an exceptionally healthy or active person and have average health generally.  Try really hard to relax about it - even though you feel good it's important to rest and be calm and healthy right now!

You already around 12 to 13 weeks, correct?

I just turned 12 weeks today and while I still have nausea and feel really tired, it still seems like many of my symptoms are starting to decrease. It is normal for this time period in pregnancy to start feeling better.

It sounds to me like you have tons of symptoms. I am having twins and I had virtually no symptoms at all. I was paranoid about that, so I did get a doppler. I still can't feel my babies moving so I'm still using it every day (and I have been since 10 weeks). It gives me peace of mind and I love it.

Are you just wishing to be vomiting our guts out? If you are then don't! People kept insinuating that something may be wrong with my pregnancy throughout my first trimester just because I didn't have morning sickness. It made me a nervous wreck. Don't fall into that trap.

This helps me to see others in this boat I have had two ultrasounds and know that baby is growing and the heart is beating...they basically only did the first one becuase I was so worried due to having NO symptoms at that time, besides some mild cramping. Now I just pee more, breasts are a bit bigger (Hubby tells me -haha) and at times, my stomach just feels 'sour'... I am coming to terms that I should stop worrying becuase the baby was fine even when I didnt' have the symptoms. Everyone is different....and our bodies handle the hormones differently I guess? Today is a good day.. I am sure this worry could come back again but I just try to let the ultrasound and flickering heart be something to ease my mind.
