this is my first pregnancy, so i've just been reading up on a few things, m/c being one of them. they say one the of warning signs of a m/c is decrease in pregnancy symptoms and breast tenderness, and mild/severe back pain. i had some back pain the other day, but it was after i was cleaning all day, and i have two bulging discs in my lower back but i've also read where back pain is a symptom that starts in the 1st tri and goes all throught the 2nd and 3rs tri's. also, my breasts were really sore when i first found out, and now for the past few days they haven't been sore at all! my 1st appt is wed, and if my calculations are right i'm currently 5w3d pregnant. anyone else have symptoms go away b4 their first appt, and still have everything go OK at the appt? TIA for the help...

Re: freaking out
My first pregnancy was a breeze compared to this one. Basically no symptoms. I had cravings but they were much later (end of 2nd and all of 3rd Tri) but nothing in the beginning.
Stop Googling!!!
Ditto. I basically had 0 symptoms 5w0 days - 6w 3 days. Had the u/s at 6w1d and everything was fine.
Now I have the nausea and exhaustion... just enjoy your freedom from symptoms while it lasts!
I'm going to make an AWESOME big brother.
I need to stop researching m/c, too. It's really just dragging me down. The part that is scary for me is the missed miscarriage, where you won't even know the baby died until later.
I, too, need to stop reading about it!
most definintely!! I'm as nervous about this and I am excited, and being my 1st PG i haven't a clue what to expect..which is prob the same boat you're in. i do find it helpful though when i hear other girls having great, healthy pregnancies, experiencing the same things i am.
im about 6 wks along (also with my first). i found out i was pregnant at around 4 wks and my boobs were killing me from then on. then a few days ago my boobs suddenly felt fine. i was really worried cuz i heard the same info as you did about the lack of symptoms. but i had my first appt shortly after that. only got bloodwork done but everything looks fine according to that. also, my boobs have once again begun hurting (worse than ever!). i get my first sono on wednesday. ill finally breathe easy as soon as i see that heartbeat! in the meantime, i worry all the time!
but im sure everything is fine. just wanted you to know there are plenty of us in the same boat! congratulations and good luck!
thats somthing that i worry about too, my symtoms come and go, my nausea is at a minimum and not everyday, i havent been sick once, my boobs aren't sore, my nipples sometimes get a bit itchy & slightly irritated when i rub against them, smells are hightened, and im tired often, i take naps on the weekends, (and i NEVER did that before). i usually feel quite bloated in the lower belly, and im constantly hungry.
just try to keep a positive attitude!
