Don't Feel Pregnant

in 1st Trimester

I'm only four weeks along - I just missed my period at the end of last week and took two tests (positive!!!) But I'm not feeling anything really: no nausea, no fatigue. I did feel some cramping yesterday which freaked me out, but it's gone now. Does it take awhile to kick in or am I just lucky - it's really making me nervous and I don't go into see my Doc until week 8.

Help!

    Don't be nervous. I had no symptoms until about week 6 or 7. :)

    the well-known symptoms, like nausea, typically don't show up until around week 6-8. cramping is pretty normal and as long as it's not super painful and/or combined with bleeding, it's nothing to worry about. i was feeling VERY tired even before my missed period and my boobs started to hurt almost immediately after getting the BFP. some women never get nauseous (lucky ones!).

    I'm actually 6 weeks preggers today and I don't feel very pregnant yet either. Maybe we are some of the lucky few? I don't wanna speak too soo 'cause Ive heard morning sickness can creeep up on you after your 6th week. What I have been feeling though since I found out I was pregnant at around 4 weeks, is menstruation-like cramping in my belly (no blood or spotting than God) and my breasts hurt like I'm back in my teenage years and they are growing by the day which pleases my man to no end- lol.

    Me too! When I was pregnant with my daughter I started feeling nauseated almost immediately so this is so weird for me to feel so good! 

    I'm counting my blessings because I know it could change at any moment!

    Try not to worry! I had absolutely no symptoms throughout my entire first pregnancy, and DD was just fine--still is :)

    This time around, fatigue hit around 5 weeks, but that's it so far.

    Congrats!

    /// AGREED

    Remember, you're still very early! You haven't even given yourself time to feel symptoms! ;) The cramping is normal. I started noticing it right away. Exhaustion kicked in pretty quick, but other than that I haven't had many symptoms. My good friend is pregnant right now and said her m/s started around 8 weeks. It's different for everyone. Good luck and congrats!

    This makes me feel better! These are the 2 main symptoms that I have right now. The cramps are anywhere from non-existent, mild, and painful...like the cramps I would get in my teens...I keep telling myself not to worry unless I see spotting/bleeding. Defintely helps to see that other women are going to the same thing! :)

    Most Dr say it's too early to feel symptoms. I felt some early, but it varies per person and per pregnancy. I wouldn't worry too much and just enjoy being symptom free for now!

    My symptoms kicked in right at 6 weeks, enjoy feeling good as long as you can and don't worry too much. I also had cramping early on, and per my dr. it was just my uterus making room for the LO! Good luck!

    I wouldn't worry about it. From what I read many people early one do not even realize they are pregnant. The cramping is from embryo starting to get settled into the uterus, completely normal!

    I think this just goes to show how different everyone's pregnancies can be.  I'm 8 weeks now and I still don't feel pregnant.  Didn't have morning sickness at all, not overly hungry, and not overly tired.  The only minor symptom I've had is some cramping towards the beginning of the pregnancy but now that's gone.  It really hit home for me last week at my u/s since I could hear the heartbeat but other than that, I've not really felt much different other than being super excited!  I find myself wishing I had a little bit of morning sickness or weird cravings just so that I could feel more pregnant.  Don't worry!  I'm sure we'll both start feeling something soon!

    Thanks for all the replies - that's what I'm doing - just trying to be happy and not be anxious and enjoy the fact that I'm feeling normal. Although, I do have cravings for pickled okra for some reason...I'm so excited so...I almost look forward to MS and all that - of course, I'm sure if/once I get it, I'll be wishing for the days I didn't have it LOL...

    It's so nice to have this forum to talk to other women - no one really knows yes as we've decided to wait until the 13th week to tell family and friends (except my best friends, I just can't wait and they can keep a secret!!!) Thank you so much
