With my first pregnancy, besides the constant tired feeling and the growing belly I had no symptoms of being pregnant and baby was just fine. Now pregnant with #2 same thing no real symptoms. Trust me you will be very thankful for such a low key pregnancy.
I'm also 6 weeks and 4 days with my first appointment on 9/23 at 10 weeks. Wish it would come faster. Not feeling much but using pregnancy as a good excuse to get extra sleep
My first appt is also at 10 weeks. I thought it was a bit far along too, but they said its normal for non high risk pregnancies or someone with no history of lost pregnancies to come in between 9-10 weeks. So hard to wait, though!!!
I am 8 weeks today and boy do I feel it. This is my second pregnancy, my daughter is almost 11 so this feels all new to me again. I'm glad you don't hand many symptoms, lucky!!! I've got them all lol I'm nervously waiting for my first check up on the 9th also.
With my first, I was sick all day everyday, and exhausted. I'd take a nap at 4pm, and still be able to fall asleep easily at 8pm.
With this one, I was sick for a day about 2 weeks ago, and nothing since. That's why I think it is a boy, because my reaction is so different. And.... of course, it sets in paranoia also. I don't go until 9/14, so I'll just worry for the next 2 weeks.
I'm a second timer and I totally don't feel pregnant. I'm trying really hard to enjoy food because with my first, I hated food within a few weeks of finding out I was pregnant! Some people never experience the bad symptoms, maybe you'll be lucky!
It was really nice to read all of these responses. I have been feeling the same way. I'm currently 6.5 weeks and my first appt. is 9/8/15. I'm very nervous but reading everything here made me a little less worried. Like almost everyone else on here I also feel great some days and like crap others. I guess I'd rather feel great as long as I know my little person inside is doing ok. Thanks everyone!
Hi everyone! First time posting for me I am 7.5 weeks and it's funny everyday is different. Sometimes I go half the day feeling completely normal and then suddenly very pregnant and exhausted I could fall over. First time so I'm not sure what is normal and what isn't but going for my first appointment on 9/2 so we'll see! Good luck to everyone!
I'm 5.5 today and other than being tired all the time and nauseous before bed I don't feel different my mom says I'm more moody but I don't think so lol I have my first appointment 9/4/15 and I can't wait it's taking forever
I'm a first timer as well and I'm just 5 weeks yesterday. I don't feel very pregnant but my boobs are sore. I'm hungry about every 3-4 hours and I can eat quite a bit. Otherwise I'm no other symptoms... Not that I'm eagerly waiting the dreaded morning sickness.
This is my second and I'm exactly like I was for my first lol only the sore boobs, bloating, and fatigue! I'm 6 weeks and 3 days and my first appt/US is 9-10! So excited! Be very thankful that you don't have symptoms! I am! >-
I had posted on here earlier that I wasn't feeling much but between yesterday and today I am feeling it: cramps, lower back pain, exhausted like I want to crawl into bed and knock out, pelvic pain. I can't even sit comfortably. I really want to go to sleep.
I'm 6+1 and I also have minimal symptoms. Breasts are heavier and tender, I'm a bit tired and I need to pee all the time. Feeling pretty great though which freaks me out but I'm definitely thankful xx
Update: 6weeks today and more distinct symptoms seem to be appearing In the last 48 hours my boobs started to be very painful, feeling off/on cramps/pulls and I NEED something to eat early in the morning to feel okay as I get ready for day. A granola or quinoa bar seem to do the trick.
They say what your mom experienced can be a good indicator of what you might experience According to my mom she says she felt fabulous other than on/off tired during pregnancy and could have had a dozen kids she get so good! Ha!
Praying that everything looks good at Ultrasound this coming week.
I've had an appointment for pregnancy confirmation. They say I'm 12 weeks but I'm so not, I tested at the end of June so I know I cconceived in July, from what I can figure out I'm about 8 weeks 3-4 days. My first actual appointment is 9/9 and I'm so frustrated because I'll be 10 weeks by then and I'm jealous of all the ladies who've had an uultrasound already because I don't feel pregnant at all, the only symptoms I have are slight cramping here and there and I'm always sleepy.. I just need some reassurance that my baby is there
Hi Everyone! I'm new here (this being my first post), and I'm not feeling super pregnant either. I have an 11.5 year old son, and my hubby and I have been trying to get pregnant for months. Back in may I had a chemical pregnancy, then in June, not expecting pregnancy so soon, I had a miscarriage DURING my U/S when they were checking to see if everything was ok at 5 weeks I'm 32, and am currently 5+5 and am SO scared! I've taken 2 AHPT, a couple days apart to ensure they aren't wrong, and don't have my first doctors appointment until this coming Wednesday (will be 6+1) I check my toilet paper every time I pee, it's silly.
Anyhow, I have sore breasts and tender nipples. Incessantly poking at them to see if they still are, I have had night sweats for the past 3 days and feeling very dull cramping. Also am completely exhausted all the time. Otherwise, no other symptoms. With June pregnancy I was incredibly ill from 4 weeks.
I am checking my basal body temperature every morning and trying to just assume if it's still high, I'm still pregnant. My symptoms seemed to lessen as well - I was a little queasy off and on, occasionally fatigued, and very bloated. No more queasiness the past couple of days, and the bloating seems to have gotten less. But who knows? Maybe it's the same and I've just adjusted so I don't notice. Maybe my body has adjusted and is dealing with it better. Maybe healthy habits have kicked in. Why would I start eating smaller and more frequent meals in order to feel less bloated, then be upset when I'm less bloated? I was almost in tears yesterday with this huge impending sense of doom when I realized that freaking out might be a symptom of hormones in and of itself.
It's really nice to follow this thread and not be the only person who's being driven nuts because I have to wait for an ultrasound! (10 more days!)
I'm so glad I'm not the only one who feels this way! The only symptoms I've had are sore boobs, fatigue, and a little cramping. My first dr appt was at 6 weeks so I didn't get to hear the heartbeat I can't wait for next appt on 9/9 to hear the heartbeat. I am thankful for the lack of morning sickness but it's such a weird feeling to know I am 9 weeks PG but not feel like it.
I am 6 weeks today, as well, and am not "feeling very pregnant" - and am definitely not complaining. Only symptoms are some soreness, sleepiness, some bloating, and hunger. I had a confirmatory blood test at my OB, so there's definitely something going on in there... first US will be 9/18 (when I will be almost 9 weeks). I think I will feel "more pregnant" once I see that little bean and hear a heartbeat. Hoping for the best!
I just found out I'm pregnant with my second, and it's the same as my first. My back is KILLING me already, and I'm only 9 weeks. My bras don't fit, I find myself going to bed earlier every night.
But what's killer for me is the MOOD SWINGS! I start crying because people are arguing on a TV show, I cry why my husband comes home from work because I missed him so much, I cry when I look at my 11 month old daughter because I love her so much.
My husband thinks the mood swings are so funny and he's such a champ he always consoles me and cuddles with me.
I turn into an emotionally psycho person while pregnant lol
Im 6 weeks pregnant and have my 1st app on 2/9/15 not really any symptoms jus occasionally feeling sick and sore breast now and then i have fibrocystic breast change to so i have lumpy breast and have gains a few more lumps due to pregnancy
This i also my fear as i feel normal sometimes and other times i feel sick and tired my first app on on 2/915 and i will be 6 weeks i think but i could also be further maybe 10 week i have a little bloating too
Well I feel a lot better knowing you guys feel the same. I have been so worried that I have almost no symptoms. I want to take a test every day just to be sure I am still pregnant but that's crazy right?... So I just wait for my app on 9/8 to see my little one. I am 6wks and three days but really nervous every day I wake up and am not sick. I really don't want to be sick but feel like it will ease my nerves. When I first found out I was really tired and my boobs were a little sore but nothing to crazy. I have been having the sharp random pains I have seen on here from others and that makes me feel better I am not the only one.
Hmm, a lot of symptoms going down starting at 6 weeks. I'm glad I'm not the only one. It's making me nervous. At first it hit me hard with the dizziness, nausea, fatigue, very tender breasts, and I was hungry all the time. Now my breasts are only slightly tender, my ute is a lil sore and I have slight food aversions. I'm not even sure if I cry over stupid things like I once did anymore. I guess if I'm doubting I do then I must not anymore. It hit me really hard at the beginning. If I was basing my pregnancy on my LMP I would have been 7 weeks tomorrow. But the ultrasound I had on Aug 26 only dated me 5w2d and they only seen a yolk and sac at the time. So basing off the ultrasound I'm 6 weeks today. I have an ultrasound on Sept 8 and they said they should see a baby by then.
I feel ya! I'm 6w today and I know I've had minimal nausea, but I'm so tired. I know my appointment in 9/11, but I'm high risk, so I go to the dr more often and sooner than most. Hang in there! Everyone is different!
Our little Red Raider is here and another is on its way!
I'm 6w2d according to my lmp and my first us is tomorrow! Glad to see this post. I remember with my last pregnancy weeks 6 and 7 were nothing but morning sickness and this time I'm just a little queasy every now and then. I am definitely having crazy dreams and on/off breast and nipple tenderness.
I am 6 weeks and have no symptoms either! However, I'm noticing everyone is having their first scan in week 8 and mine is scheduled for week 7 on 9/10. Should I push it back?

It's completely okay to have your first scan at 7 weeks and not uncommon. A lot of doctors do between 8-10 weeks but that's just preference, every doctor is different. My appointment isn't until 10 weeks but I would take one earlier if it was offered to me so I could see the little babe and have that peace of mind. At 7 weeks you should be able to get a heartbeat and that's what most doctors wait for anyway. If you go to the ultrasound thread you'll see a lot of people who have had scans at 7 weeks. Best of luck!
I have my first appointment on 9/4 and will be 7 weeks but I am just meeting with a nurse to go over things. Not sure when they will schedule an us as I am getting really anxious over here. Hopefully I will at least be able to hear a heart beat to make it all see just a little more real. I also have not had many symptoms because exhausted and an occasional ache lower back.
Just wanted to spread some inspiration to others who weren't feeling much for symptoms. We just had our ultrasound this morning at 6 weeks +4 days and we saw the most beautiful heartbeat that could ever been seen! I was measuring one day early and things looked great.
I asked the nurse about the lack of symptoms and the on/off symptoms. She assured me that everyone is different. She told me her personal story of being pregnant with twins and not having a single symptom other than her growing belly.
Hope this provides some comfort. I know easier said than done. I told myself I would stop stressing over it once we had our ultrasound to confirm. We will see how well I do at that :-).

THANKYOU for this. I just came from work and have been a ball of nerves and stress all day. I just had a MMC in April and am now 6wks 2 days and praying every second of every day for a healthy baby. I was having pretty regular symptoms (tender breasts, occasional nausea and tired tired tired) up until this last weekend. Ever since Sunday I feel completely normal. My first appt isn't until next Tuesday so I'm just playing the waiting game. I hate this so much. Why is pregnancy so unpredictable and scary???!
I'm so glad I read this today. I am 6wks 4days. Up until today my breasts have been sore, I have been starving almost all day long and I've felt so bloated. Other than that I haven't had too many symptoms. Today though I had no symptoms at all and had even lost a pound. I found myself wishing to get some kind of symptoms so I felt at least a little pregnant. I made the mistake of telling a co-worker I'm pregnant who now she asks me every day how I'm feeling. She acts like there's something wrong with me when I say the same as yesterday and follows it with, "you just wait..." So that doesn't help. I'm glad to see I'm not alone. I've been worried all day and don't have a doctor's appointment until next week on Wednesday. It's going to be such a long weekend.
