Minimal symptoms at 5 weeks?

Tulip370 · August 2009

Is it okay if I do not have many of the pregnancy symptoms yet? I get slightly nauseated after meals, I feel bloated, and I'm tired, but overall I feel okay. No spotting, minimal breast tenderness, no darkened areolas yet. Because I don't have many sx, I take a pregnancy test at work every few days and the positive result always comes back faster and darker than the last. Is it normal at this point not to have many sx?

You may be one of the lucky ones and never have symptoms.

Or they may kick in at a later date.

That's very normal! With DD I didn't have many symptoms throughout most of the pregnancy (except for swelling!). I never had m/s or breast tenderness. You're one of the lucky ones!

I say give it a few weeks. I was worried when I was five weeks too, and then I got all those lovely symptoms and wished I could go back. Good luck!

I agree. Give it another week or two. My nausea kicked in around 6 weeks, 3 days, and has been pretty constant since.

Good Luck.

At 5 weeks, you have a very long way to go. Most 1st tri symptoms don't show up for most women until around 6 weeks. Your symptoms will differ week to week and sometimes even day to day.

Quit stressing yourself out with POAS and just enjoy the next 9 months
