For the GP mamas

kris-dan · April 2009

Did any of you not have any symptoms? I have none except for tiringness and wanted to see if I should be worried.

imaPrincess · April 2009

I had light cramping just like pre AF and that was pretty much it. The symptoms come later...GL!

Mrs. BZ · April 2009

tiredness??

rssnlvr · April 2009

You're still really early. I didn't have any symptoms--not even sore boobies--until about 6 weeks. Even then, my first tri was relatively easy.

Embrace the symptom-free time! The only thing you should worry about is cramping mixed with spotting.

Its still very early for you. Some people don't get m/s until a little later. I wouldn't worry yet. I didn't have it. All I've really had is a little tiredness and some queasiness in the 6week. Since then just a little crampiness from time to time.

Don't worry. You might not get anything....or it could be coming. Be happy you're feeling good so far! :-)

I'm not a mama, but I'm thinking you have plenty of time for all the m/s symptoms to show up. Enjoy not having any for now!

HisLovf · April 2009

I had some mild AF like cramping in the beginning, VERY mild nausea, and not much else. I was worried about the lack of symptoms until I started feeling movement. It can be nerve racking! Turns out, I'm one of the lucky ones. I hope you are too!

You were smart not to post this on 1st tri. You would have been roasted alive.

Many women have zero or very mild symptoms during the first few weeks. Even more tend to disregard symptoms like gas, fatigue, or constipation because you're not sure it's pg related.

I have had mild symptoms and no m/s. It has made me a little nervous but so far so good!

mrsmel · April 2009

i had nothing until like 7 weeks or so.

ladymgray · April 2009

a little AF-like cramping, and that was it... until 8-9 weeks when the m/s showed it's lovely face. Tongue Tied

i would enjoy this easy part while you are still able.

kris-dan · April 2009

Sorry about tiringness...I meant tiredness.

kris-dan · April 2009

thanks. i didn't post on 1st b/c i have seen them get annoyed by these questions. I also love posting on GP--the girls on here are so helpful and nice.

Shannonlea · April 2009

Im a couple days ahead of you and feel great although my betas show Im clearly pregnant. Im livin' it up now while I still feel good.

candy_mandy85 · April 2009

I don't really have any yet either, had cramping last week and sore BB's felt a little nauseaus yesterday but overall nothing really. But we have lots of time for those to kick in.

Finn829 · April 2009

i was exhausted in my first tri and i didn't have any m/s. i had cramping every now and then. everything seems great, so i'm happy!

kris-dan · April 2009

Shannonlea...want to say Congrats to you. You are only like 2 days ahead of me. Your doctor saw you already--I heard that my doctor probably won't see me until at least 6 weeks.

Phoebe Halliwell · April 2009

You're only 4 weeks pregnant. At 4 weeks, I didn't even have a clue that I was pregnant (wasn't charting) and was still expecting AF. I had cramps and sore boobs and that was it - totally expected AF to show. I wasn't even all that tired. My pregnancy symptoms didn't really kick in until around 6 weeks and then I was a little more tired, found myself getting winded more easily, and had some nausea off and on. All of which is still the case. My boobs are still tender but don't hurt nearly as badly as they did a few weeks ago.

None of these are smack-you-in-the-face, sterotypical movie or sitcom-style pregnancy symtpoms, though. Most of the time, I feel pretty normal. Just every once in a while, I might feel a bit hungover or like I'm coming down with something. Just relax and try not to worry. I know it's easier said than done.

I only got betas because I am seeing an RE and will get my first ultra sound at 7 weeks but only because I was on Clomid. If they see you at 6 weeks, thats really good. Only a couple weeks to go!

I had cramping and tender breasts/nips right away.

Some people (my mom for example) experienced absolutely NO symptoms with any of her 3 pregnancies. At all. She says the only symptom she had was her belly getting bigger (and no AF of course).

Oh, and Shan and Lovfer rock my world.
