8 weeks feeling better?

laura308 · November 2013

About 5 1/2 - 6 weeks I started to feel really sick mostly at night. Achy horribly tired body, bloated, gassy absolutely miserable. Big food aversions.

I've suddenly started feeling better. I can eat some vegetables again (couldn't touch or even smell them 2 weeks ago). I have more energy & don't feel as bad at night.

Should I be worried? I already heard a heart beat 2 weeks ago. My breasts are still sore - but just feel good. I hate that that worries me I heard it's supposed to "peak" and get worse at 8 weeks.

That didn't make sense lol. My breasts are still sore, but in general I just feel much better is what I meant!

Totally normal. I think that's about the point where I began having a lot of fluctuations: feel good for a few days, bad for a few days. But then some crippling exhaustion hit. My MW said the hormones peak at 10 weeks. While I was most moody/teary/upset around that time, my energy was picking up.

Symptoms just aren't an indication of healthy babies.

Same exact thing happened to me. I just had an ultrasound last week and was so nervous because I was feeling so good, but all was ok!

Thank you guys. I've been such a worried mess that I feel "normal" again. Like having bad thoughts that the baby is dead. I hate being like this but I've had a miscarriage before so everything worries me .. It helps to hear your encouraging words.

My friend has a fetal heart Monitor that she used & is bringing to town for thanksgiving for me to use since my next appontment isn't until dec 17. It might give me peace of mind to hear the heartbeat again. Is 8-9 weeks too early to be able to hear it on one of those though?

The fetal heart monitors are awesome, but you might not be able to hear it until 10 weeks. I hope you do get to hear it some women do, but don't let it freak you out if you don't. The first trimester is so worrisome. I pray that God gives us all more Peace. So we can enjoy the blessing:)

My morning sickness started at 6 weeks and got a lot better at 8 weeks. I know it's hard not to think of what can go wrong but remember the odds are in your favor if you already heard/saw the hb!

laura308 · November 2013

I have heard that sweet tea. Last time I never got to hear a heart beat so I'm excited that I have this time. Unfortunately I have had 3 friends in the last year miscarry AFTER they heard the heart beat

which they say is rare but 3 separate people I know have.

I agree about the peace of mind thing. I will be nice to just be able to relax and enjoy this instead of focusing on every little thing.

I am 9 months on Monday and I have felt good as well. I only had 3 days of sickness and mostly I'm just tired. I had the same concerns like....are the babies even ok?, shouldn't I be throwing up all the time? but my doctor told me to take it as a blessing and that I should enjoy it! I am just dying to get to week 12 for the untrasound where they will actually look like humans and not just gummy bears hahha

I've found that when I start to feel better and my m/s goes away, all I have to do is wait a day or two and then BAM, it's back to remind me. I wouldn't worry about it just yet, play it by ear. The symptoms could come back in a couple days

I've been told multiple times that MS peaks around 6 weeks actually. And for me that seemed to be true, it hit me like a ton of bricks on week 6, lasted into week 7, and somewhat of 8 but ever since then it has progressively gotten better. I totally get where you are coming from but try to remember that you probably have other symptoms as well, and they TOTALLY come and go! Some days I feel perfect, some days just my boobs are sore, some days I feel rotten.
