For those of you who don't "feel" pregnant...

...how do you reassure yourself that things could very well being fine?

This is my second pregnancy. With my first, I had horrible morning sickness, and was already feeling queasy by this point in time. So on the one hand, I'm trying to hope and pray that I don't get so sick again, but on the other, the fact that I feel FINE...is actually stressing me out! Lol!

Any advice/thoughts? You'd think I would be more relaxed the second time around!

Just know that you can't change the outcome either way (so long as you're living a healthy lifestyle). And consider yourself lucky! Not everyone gets symptoms, whether they did in previous pregnancies or not, so there's no need to worry.

I'm a huge worrier, but I had to look at the bright side- how awesome is it to NOT get morning sickness?! That's pretty awesome.

Although, that was short lived, but that week & a half was pure bliss!

Sometimes ppl only start m/s in week 6

I too am being a worry wort, but good ju ju is better then bad ju ju for the baby so stay positive

Lena122 · May 2011

I'm about a week behind you but I haven't felt any real symptoms yet either. I've heard that m/s can start as late as 7-8 weeks. I've also heard that every pregnancy is different so don't worry just because you're last one was different. Maybe we'll be lucky and not have to experience m/s as bad as some!

This was hard for me because I miscarried right before I got pregnant. I only had symptoms from weeks 6-8 and even those were mild. I had to just trust that everything would happen the way it was supposed to and I did eventually purchase a fetal heart doppler around 10 weeks but I hardly use it. Every dr's appointment has been good and I'm just starting to feel little flutters now.

I just tell myself as long as there's no bleeding everything is going well. I am excited to see my baby on Tuesday for our NT scan!

I had m/s with my DD until 14 weeks and major food averisions to practically everything. This time around as long as I have food in my belly I'm fine. I can eat anything and everything I want (though chicken doesn't sound great these days). The only real symptom I've had this time around is no period. I am grateful for that because I have an 11 month old (scratch that - she'll be 12 months on Saturday) to keep an eye on.

I'm 10 weeks and 1 day and I still don't really have any pregnancy symptoms. I'm not bleeding, so I have faith that everything is okay.

lacideshae51 · May 2011

im having the same issue, i had a m/c in 2009 so i keep worrying that somethign might go wrong. i have to check and make sure im not spotting like a million times a day,. i even had a dream last night that i lost the baby.. scared me to death! but on a side note. my mom never got m/s with me or my brother so hopefully im in for pregnancies like hers! fingers crossed

HopingForOne · May 2011

Thank you for your replies - it does help, especially hearing from other moms whose pregnancies have been different this time around!

I do have somewhat sore nipples, so I'm taking that as my symptom, lol! And I have noticed that I feel just a tiny bit queasy if I let myself so hungry, but I was thinking that was all in my head. Maybe not, after all!

Also, last time I got pregnant, I took Clomid - so I'm wondering if some of my early pregnancy "symptoms" were actually just side effects of that (bloating, for example). And this time I didn't use Clomid. Thoughts?

You're still early. I really bloated up this time around around 6 or 7 weeks.

HopingForOne · May 2011

True.

I think I'm more nervous because I have a doctor's appointment this week just to 'confirm' the pregnancy (thought I believe he's just doing his own urine test) and I have this irrational fear that it will turn out that I'm not pregnant - even though I took seven (yes, I'm pathetic - seven) pregnancy tests - and one was a digital!

KateLouise · May 2011

I remind myself of all the people I know who had no morning sickness and perfectly healthy babies at the end.

starla-dear · May 2011

You could be one of the lucky few that escape 1st tri without major symptoms...but I would say you could be a bit early for them still. With DD it didn't start until 7 weeks, this one it was around 6. There has not been an hour since week 6 or so that I didn't feel pregnant lol.

MissBHaven1024 · May 2011

With my daughter, the only pregnancy sign I had was a growing belly. No morning sickness, food aversions, nausea, or extreme fatigue. That is the same with this pregnancy. I feel great all the time and I don't have any "typical" symptoms. I just don't worry about it. I have faith in the fact that my baby is in there doing well and growing. Easier said than done, I know, but stressing about not feeling pregnant will do more harm than good.

zrb1212 · May 2011

I never got m/s with #1 and my only symptoms were tiredness and having to pee all.the.time. I just had faith and in my body I guess. I did worry to a certain extent I guess but I believed in it way more than I worried! This time around I still haven't had any symptoms and I'm praying it stays that way! Plus I am a lot more laid back already.

sarah26wood · May 2011

This is EXACTLY how I feel. I am just pregnant with #2 as well and feeling a lot better. Admittedly I took another pregnancy test the other day more than a week after taking the first one! I am also thinking part of it is my distraction of taking care of DS. He is only 13.5 months so I'm pretty busy with him as well. My mom had m/s the worst with me (oldest) and less with each of my brothers. Hope that helps. I'm an 8 time gold medalist in worrying!

beck4582 · May 2011

This is my first and I haven't had m/s yet. I do, however, feel "hungover" all the time. I've got a constant headache that goes from very mild to pretty severe, and I'm always nauseous. I also have sore breasts, and I have to pee a lot. So I guess I'm reassured that I have all of the symptoms except actually puking. That could change at any point, though!

Katenna · May 2011

I'm 10 wks with my first and getting ready to go public this week. Our close friends and family know already, but not the general public. I am a teacher and I want to tell my seniors when they finish finals, but I feel like a total fraud. No weight gain, not ms and I don't have my first doctor's appointment until next week. I am so looking forward to it and hearing that heart beat so I can believe it.

plainolmccarty · May 2011

I am 12 weeks pregnant with my first and have had very few symptoms. I have felt a little tired and bloated, but the bloat has gone down and I'm still not showing. I was stressing too, but I think we're just lucky! It's crazy because we announced it this weekend but I don't feel pregnant at all! But, if you had a BFP and no bleeding then you're still pregnant.

reason00 · May 2011

I still don't feel pregnant, I only look it. Hahaha...I have my little poofed belly.

d-squared · May 2011

Symptoms are not a sign of a good pregnancy. However, you might start to have m/s in about a week. All the books I read said it starts at 6 wks.

alibuddha · May 2011

I'm so glad you posted this, because this is my first, and just tonight, I told my husband, "I don't feel pregnant..." I've been weird, because I really don't feel any different. Occasionally my nipples feel tender but that has been normal for me during my cycles. The first week I found out, I was tired, but that was because I cut out all caffeine and it was just awful. But now, I have nothing. It's so weird. I already took 3 pregnancy tests and all were positive, but I am thinking I will do another until I can get into see a doctor.
