Need your support - 7 weeks and not feeling very pregnant

danichyl · July 2014

I know this is silly. I know that symptoms come and go. I know that the overwhelming odds are that everything is fine.

I just can't help it. I have to wonder and worry.

kimb311 · July 2014

I hear ya. I worry too that I'm feeling so good. But I think for me it didn't really hit with DD until wk8. So I figure I have a two more days until the gates of hell open. :-S

danichyl · July 2014

Thanks, @kimb311 It's this funny challenge getting from week to week or from blood test to ultrasound. Once I get those confirmations that I'm pregnant, I feel secure whether I'm symptom-y or not and then I have day where I have lots of symptoms and I feel confident. And then there are days like today where I pretty much feel normal. This is my first pregnancy and I'm not really sure what to expect.

kimb311 · July 2014

It's the surge of hormones that make us feel crappy. Yesterday I felt GREAT,so great I got freaked out. Wake up this morning and not feeling so great. And today I feel more confident. Aren't we crazy ?! LOL

mahalo3 · July 2014

I felt the same why when I wasn't feeling any symptoms. Then we saw the heartbeat and most of the anxiety was gone. Literally, the next day the gates of hell opened. Hopefully, you will be a lucky one and just not get symptoms. Try to be as productive now as possible, becuase your head could be in a toilet tomorrow.

so far I've felt great except for some on/off heartburn since week 2, breast tenderness, and diarrhea. my mother in law said she had no morning sickness or nausea with all 3 of her pregnancies. wishing to be just as lucky!

i'm still pretty early so i just keep waiting for the yucky symptoms. is it weird that i'm kinda looking forward to them so that I "feel" more pregnant and reassured that things are progressing as they should?

KWebster3 · July 2014

I was feeling great until Sunday. I hit the 8 week mark yesterday and it's been all day nausea. Looking forward to my first u/s next Thursday!!

I wonder if we will all be less nervous next trimester. I literally freak out and stress for several hours a day because I have not had any blood tests done for assurance of HCG levels rising and our first U/S isn't until 2 weeks from tomorrow. How on earth can we last that long?

danichyl · July 2014

Thanks, @mahalo3 That's what I keep telling myself.

danichyl · July 2014

Good luck @KWebster3 !

bhjones1980 · July 2014

Didn't you just get back from an ultrasound a few minutes ago? I would assume that would put your mind at ease.

danichyl · July 2014

@bhjones1980 Yes, I was very nervous going into it. Wasn't sure what I would see.

AshleyKars · July 2014

I'm nervous too! Things change daily and I don't go for 3 weeks! We pray for each other and just hope for the best! :-)

mommaa1615 · July 2014

I said the same thing until I hit week 8...I feel awful all day every day. Enjoy being symptom free now. I jinxed myself!

mommytobecgh · July 2014

I am the same first ultrasound they couldn't find anything but a sack and they had told me I was 6 weeks so slightly confused. Nauseous but never vomit only dry having

pmpknbride · July 2014

I feel ya, I'm 7 weeks tomorrow and most of the time I think someone is just playing a mean joke on me because I don't "feel" pregnant. I'm a little hungrier and gasier then normal and Somedays I need an afternoon nap to get through the day, but other than that I feel pretty normal. I had more pregnancy like symptoms when I was on my IF drugs! But I had my second US yesterday and there was a cute little bean and a strong heartbeat. I'm pretty sure my mom had little in the way of Nassau with me and my siblings, so I'm hoping it's how we roll!

nrejanes · July 2014

I'm week seven and I find my symptoms change each day. I can feel round ligament pain when I change position or do increased activity, and some days it's worse than others. Not nauseous, but REALLY bloated lately - for the last 4 days. I seriously look like I have a bump, so it's hilarious now that I'm trying to hide it at work by wearing things I NEVER wear (baggy shift dresses, etc.). I'm sure the ladies in my office are picking up on something, haha! Most times I feel fatigue and my boobs are tender (but not crazy severe or anything).

Yesterday, I felt great and it worried me a little, but that's just the hormonal changes I think. Some days you may not feel that much, especially early-on.

First ultrasound is tomorrow morning, and I can't wait!!!

ambernicole06 · July 2014

Felt great had no symptoms told people I honestly didn't feel pregnant and then week 8 hit.... Nausea all day every day can't eat anything freaking out I'm starving my baby... Not good lol my mom is like it should only last a little while... Like 6 more weeks... 6 MORE WEEKS!!!! That's an eternity in comparison to how I feel right now! Lol good luck and be grateful you feel normal

get a bunch of crap done before it hits lol

btrebus · July 2014

I didn't have any symptoms with DS until I was about 14 weeks, then it was dry heaving city every morning the moment my feet hit the floor. But that was the only symptom I ever got the whole time. No sore boobs, no major cravings, I didn't even pee very much!

cutiepie0104 · July 2014

I didn't feel anything until about 6 weeks. I have nausea, and cramping so far. I had a bit of an emotional moment yesterday where I woke up in the night with extreme cramping. I freaked out to myself and figured if it didn't go away then there was a problem. I can't wait to actually tell my family so I don't feel so crazy. My husband is understanding, but he doesn't know how I feel.

Frugal11 · July 2014

I had no symptoms until 6 weeks....then it was like WALL THAT HIT ME IN MY FACE!! Morning sickness, fatigue, etc....Ready for T2!!

anonymousmotley · July 2014

I have a son (17) and a daughter (4). With my son, I had very little nausea or vomiting but with my daughter (holy hell) I got sick almost every single day from week 5 to MONTH 5!! It SUCKED!

This pregnancy (7w2d) I've had waves of nausea but nothing terrible and even that stopped earlier this week. Soooo...I'm hoping it's another boy and I won't have to worry about morning sickness much at all!!

)

Worry will never, ever go away...at least that is the case for me. Everyday seems to be a new worry!! Hopefully after your 1st appointment, you'll gain some relief.

anonymousmotley · July 2014

Well, dammit, I spoke too soon! I threw up today! Booo!

mrsholwell · July 2014

Oh my, this has so been me! I'm 7w3d. My mom said she never had any symptoms really, so that helps, but still feeling insecure. Combined with the fact that this is my first and I've been achy and crampy..and I'm just a hot panicky mess, lol. Thankful for the support of you lovely ladies
