Do You "Feel" Pregnant

catnip4632 · August 2013

I'm a little over 5 weeks and when I first found out I was pregnant, I was having some mild symptoms.

The past few days I haven't "felt" pregnant. I almost want to take another test just to make sure.

Maybe I'm paranoid because I'm PGaL?

Nope

emnoahmom · August 2013

Not really. Aside from feeling bloated and a bit tired, I don't.

Rrrrrachel · August 2013

Sometimes yes sometimes no. Sounds like what you're feeling is normal for five weeks. Early pregnancy is nerve wracking!

This process is so frustrating. I'm 7 w 2d and out of nowhere my breast soreness was gone bf I went to bed! I did work out at the gym last night so maybe that moved fluids or something but as a PgAL myself that was the first thing I noticed the day of my mc last time. I don't feel the same as last time but this is def my first scare. It can be normal, but ill just have to wait and find out. I haven't had many symptoms in general.

My symptoms come and go so for the most part I don't feel pregnant. We aren't telling anyone either. Once we do the big announcement I will really feel pregnant.

I have ups and downs, one day I feel very pregnant, lots of symptoms, next day nearly nothing! Enjoying every minute tho

ButtonGirl82 · August 2013

I definitely don't: havent had any M/S so aside from sore breasts, frequent peeing, and occasional tiredness i really don't. It doesn't seem real to me especially since we are waiting to really tell people until after the screening in 3 weeks. Hopefully after that it wil feel more real.

MyLuckyCharms · August 2013

Well I feel nauseated all the time, tired & bloated so because of that yes.

However I would say this time I don't feel all "OMG I AM PREGNANT PREGNAAAAAANT!!!!! My life is forever changed! The world is magical! " the way I did with my first.

sdion27 · August 2013

Whoa! This is me exactly except 6weeks! In the beginning I was gassy nauseous and tired and then poof, nothing!

I am still bloated (which I think is in my head sometimes) and have a heightened sense of smell but other than that completely normal. This is my second so I'm not sure why I'm so freaked out. Maybe bc I had a ton of symptoms with my first so it's making my uneasy that my early symptoms left.

I was nauseous yesterday and I was happy, lol! I am debating taking another test too! Would it still show pregnant if something happened??? Anyone know?? I'm thinking it would so there's no point and I'll just have to wait another 3 weeks! Ahhh! I'm going crazy and keep wishing I'd get some "real" symptoms...

PaddysGirl8 · August 2013

Most times of the day. I feel nauseas, sore boobs, tired, and constantly going to the bathroom. There are times I feel good, and then I get nervous.

catnip4632 · August 2013

I was so carefree the first pregnancy with DD. This time I'm terrified something is going to happen. It is 10 years later and I'm at the AMA of 35. Yikes!

Rogue237 · August 2013

Just enjoy it while you can! I hit 6 weeks on Saturday and like clock work the fatigue and nausea hit me like a ton of bricks and haven't let up since. Blech.

NicoleAnne416 · August 2013

Usually yes. I had a couple of days with no cramping/pressure, no headache, no nausea, etc. and it was weird! I was a little nauseous yesterday morning and a slight headache so I felt a bit "better" lol. It's weird that towards the end of week 6 I felt ok for a couple of days. So far today nothing too bad either. With my first two weeks 6-9 or so were constant nausea, so I expected that to continue. Have to see. Hoping it doesn't come back later and last longer!

MamaFantastic · August 2013

yes, but i'm one of the farthest along on this board, at 9 weeks. when i bend over, i can feel a fullness in my abdomen, and when i overwork myself, i get cramps that are reminiscent of what i felt during 2nd and 3rd tri when i'd push my body too far and get achy and tired and sore. i also do have a definite little bump now, so i look like i'm early pregnant too. plus, i have to modify what i do to cater to my SCH, so that is a constant reminder to me.

early on, no... i didn't feel pregnant other than having big sore boobs.

Kelly51819 · August 2013

I'm glad you posted this because 2 weeks ago I felt pregnant and some days I don't. My boobs don't feel as sore as they did and I just feel like I'm getting my period. Besides from everything making me sick the past 2 days, I don't have the same feelings I did last week...it's weird

michaelad3 · August 2013

Nope. Still kind of waiting for reality to set in, but I'm only 5 weeks

Kyllarae · August 2013

I'm 8w4d and I don't feel pregnant at all! I did from weeks 5-7 though cause I was constantly throwing up but I haven't since then and it kinda scares me that I'm not so sick anymore (although I should probably be thankful!) but the sickness gave me some sense of security that the baby was doing okay.. My symptoms now are more bearable- going to the bathroom a lot, slight nausea, being tired all the time, and sore boobs. I'm hoping that after I watch the ultrasounds at my appointment on the fifth I'll feel more pregnant:)

*sparky* · August 2013

Like you my first PG was several years ago so it is hard to remember exactly how I felt but this time definitely seems worse to me. AT 5 wks, though, I still felt pretty normal. My boobs were a little sore and I was definitely ready to crawl into bed at night, but other than that I felt like myself. FF to wk 7 and that has changed a lot. I have had a few days of extreme nausea all day long, when I could barely drag myself off the couch. Other days I feel pretty good. I am trying to exercise, as I did pre-pregnancy, but last night 10 minutes on the stationary bike made me feel sweaty and nauseous for about a half hour.

So it could still hit you or you could be one of the lucky ones who has a pretty easy PG. FX that it's the latter for you!

Missnikki1 · August 2013

Hello, I'm 5w2d ( baby # 1 ) and don't really feel much either!! I took 4 home test b4 I went to the doctor, and then I got another bfp at the office.. Maybe I feel tired, and my boobs are starting to feel a little tender?.. But I was thinking I would feel something more for sure!! Keep me posted on any new feeling

tushjhav · August 2013

I did last week. had cramps, bloat, and boobs sore. Im 5 weeks today...only boobs sore in morning. no cramps or bloat. and thank god no nausea!

catnip4632 · August 2013

Okay I'm lying.... Bloating. I'm so bloated. It's ridic. Then again I think I'm bloated 95% of the time. LOL

Christinekeyser · August 2013

I'll be 9w tomorrow and I have just been really tired. I don't have the nausea like everyone else but there are times when I have cramps and there are other times that I feel fine. It does come and go, so I wouldn't worry.

Kristy774 · August 2013

I feel less pregnant this time around then I did with my other two sons.

Kristy774 · August 2013

I also took a couple tests and felt a lot of relief at my Dr's appointment today when I got to see the baby because I've been feeling so not pregnant.

Manda+panda · August 2013

I feel pregnant. I'm 9 weeks, and for awhile I just felt tired. I can feel it when I do certain things, or move wrong. PgAL brain had me crazy earlier on. I doubted everyday that I was still pregnant, would have bet I would have another mmc. But, it's getting better for me. I hope it gets better for you, too.

AmberT2010 · August 2013

Not really...not yet. I am 5 weeks tomorrow. Boobs are sore and I'm starving even though I just ate not too long ago, but really not feeling like it MUST be pregnancy. I think I have been a little paranoid too because I had a loss....just worry.

mooncusp22 · August 2013

Not really either... the tiredness has kicked in within the past 2 days and nothing sounds really good too eat. But, I wouldn't say that's what I thought "pregnant felt like". No nausea or MS here & I guess that is the #1 symptom my brain thinks of being pregnant.

pmattingly927 · August 2013

8 weeks 5 days and the only symptoms I really have are nausea and sore nipples and a little on the tired side. I felt more pregnant weeks 5 and 6. I even feel skinnier since week 7. Mostly feel more sick at night.

Hi there. I'm also 9 weeks with SCH. I've seen 2 obs in my practice and both have different takes on it. One says basically its not a huge deal, the other says another bleed could cause the cervix to open. What restrictions are you on? Of course it's worrisome, but how concerned is your doc? Thanks!!

sarahbeth27 · August 2013

My boobs feel pregnant. The rest of me hasn't caught up yet.

BiggerinRealLife · August 2013

Not really. It's more like I believe it because if I weren't I'd HAVE to have had a period by now. But not because I really feel pregnant.

AmyL5507 · August 2013

Too funny! When I was 5 & 6 weeks pregnant, I kept telling everyone that I didn't feel pregnant and I couldn't wait to.... be careful what you wish for. Now I am nausea a lot and have thrown up twice. So yeah, now I feel pregnant (8weeks)!
