1st Trimester

Symptoms easing up?

This is probably asked on here a lot, but did any of your first trimester symptoms start to subside at 9 or 10 weeks? I am 11 and a half weeks now, and my boobs were really sore right from the beginning, which is how I figured out I was pregnant, but they stopped being sore one or two weeks ago. They are still huge though, just not painful. The nausea also started subsiding last week when I was at my in-laws' for the holidays and I didn't have to cook anything and I was too busy to focus on being sick. It came back over the weekend, but today it is better. Is it normal for these things to be tapering off now, or is it a bad sign? I keep reading things about blighted ovums so I'm a little bit paranoid. I have also had slight cramping at various times throughout the pregnancy, but no spotting or anything. Thanks!

Re: Symptoms easing up?

  • I'm going through the same thing.  I will be 11 weeks tomorrow, and I noticed the same stuff is happening.  My boobs have stopped hurting after they had been TERRIBLY painful up until about a week ago.  Thankfully I haven't had any morning sickness, but I've had this terrible gagging sensation that lasted all day everyday, and that's subsiding as well.  And I have had some cramping as well, nothing painful, but definitley some pressure in my lower belly.  The doctor told me that's just my uterus growing :)  From what I've been told, I think this is around the time that these "first trimester symptoms" are supposed to start to ease up, so I think we are both right on track!  Second trimester is supposed to be better.  And I have noticed some more cramping the last few days, again, nothing painful and no bleeding but defintley more frequent...I would imagine that it's because I'm approaching the second trimester and the baby is growing bigger and bigger...but I plan on running it by the doctor next week at my appointment.

  • My morning sickness went away all together, almost over night at 10.5 weeks. You can ask your doctor if it will help calm your fears. Good luck to you!
  • This is happening to me too. Symptoms are slowly tapering off. I was also worried but it sounds like its normal! I guess we are almost at 2nd trimester and it already seems better :)

    Our pregnancies actually sound very similar! I only got legitimately sick 3 times, but I have had the same queasy, gagging sensation all day too.

    I'm glad to know that this is normal, though. I appreciate everyone's encouragement. If anything gets worse I will call the doctor. I just wanted to check with others too.  

  • Same here. My boobies were very sore and now not so much. Never really had any morning sickness. Was getting a little nervous about the symptoms going away and something being wrong so I'm glad it's normal and other ladies are experiencing the same thing. Next week is 12 weeks...can't wait!

  • I had the same thing happen in both my first pregnancy and with this one.  My symptoms start to ease up around 8/9 weeks.  I know that it can be awfully stressful though.

  • I am experiencing the same thing. I am almost 7 weeks and the past 2 days my symptoms have started to ease up. I was having a lot more back pains & stomach cramps. Now i am still experiencing these but they are not as strong at they once were. I am experiencing the gagging when I first wake up and it doesn't stop until I eat a good breakfast. Anytime I am starting to get hungry, I also start to feel nauseated. So far I have not vomited at all. I am using the bathroom very frequent, my breast are sore and I am so exhausted. I was just wondering if this is normal with being so early in my pregnancy. I have my first prenatal appointment with my doc on Dec. 20th. It is killing me to wait so long before I hear a heartbeat.
