Hi mama's I just wanted to stop in and tell you I've been thinking and praying for you all. I had an ease in my symptoms last week and it was really scary. So I'm sorry that you have to deal with the uncertainty and possible anxiety. I'm so happy to read so many positive updates and continue to wish you all a happy and healthy 9 months
I'm 11 weeks today and lately I've been feeling like my old-self. The only symptom I had before was sore boobs, and now they feel like normal. Luckily I have an ultrasound tomorrow so I'll get to make sure everything is ok.
I'm hoping I've just reached the point where the placenta is taking over, therefore explaining why I feel "normal"
U/s is on Friday and until then I'm trying to stay busy because my ever so slight ms (which was staved off by eating) and fatigue are pretty much gone. Trying so hard to stay positive but I just don't feel the slightest bit pregnant.

I feel ya! It sounds stupid and ridiculous, but I don't "feel" pregnant anymore either. I have an u/s tomorrow so I'll (hopefully) have a positive update to post.
I am 9 w 6 days with twins and no MS. My doc was very surprised. I also measured 2 weeks earlier then going by LMP but my doc wasn't worried and the HB are strong. Kind of hoping the morning sickness stays at bay.
Maybe it will help to keep in mind that reading the message board topics is not reflective of the pregnant population as a whole. this is a great place for people to find support for their struggles, therefore you hear much more from the moms with significant symptoms than you do from the moms who are feeling great! And listen to yourselves, you mention you ARE having queasy stomach, fatigue, sore boobs. I hope you can recognize that and have faith in your bodies! This is scary stuff, but you are doing great!
The anxiety and worry for me has lessened quite a bit in the last week or two. I'm still convinced there's a solid chance of a missed MC, but there's nothing I can do about it if so, so I just keep on keeping on.
Oh, and last night I dreamed it was twins and I lost one. Weird frickin dreams man.
This. For me too. I never even knew what a mmc was until this board. It sits in the back of my mind. I'm FTM so I have no history and no idea what to expect. I try and bury those thoughts with positive ones. I had the dead baby dream too, it's awful. I'm just waiting until my first dr apt and u/s, but that's not until 12/17
The weird thing, I don't have an emotional attachment to this baby yet. I feel really guilty about it. I'm not sick, so no one treats me like I'm pregnant. I barely feel pregnant except for bloating and big boobs. I think I'm looking for these big symptoms as a way to feel more attached to this pregnancy...to make it more real.
I had a miscarriage before my first baby, and I had such a hard time with attachment while pregnant. I was excited, and loved the kid, but I really didn't have feelings of attachment at all until the baby was almost a week old. I have been told this is common, it is an emotional survival tactic, and is absolutely nothing to be worried about, or feel guilty about. It's ok! We all become moms on our own schedule.
Almost 12 weeks and woke up today feeling completely normal, my stomach actually looks really flat. I have an u/s on tuesday and I'm trying to not stress myself out until then. I did just hear the hb a week ago but still not helping.
9w3d and I have hardly any symptoms. Yesterday I scared the poo outta myself thinking something was wrong. This morning I had the worst MS ever and almost puked on my way to work. I'm hoping that's someone upstairs telling me that everything is fine. My 9 week appointment showed no heartbeat with the doppler but the midwife said they normally don't even check until 10-12 weeks and when she looked at my cervix, I guess my baby is sitting right in my anal area. She said that's definitely why we couldn't hear anything. So....other than the positive pregnancy test and blood test, I've got nothing to tell me the baby is fine.
the last 3days I haven't had symptoms and even before I had mild symptoms. I have been so nervous and prayed every minute and thank God today I had an ultrasound everything is fine. So for all you ladies in the no symptom boat do not worry yourselves have faith.
Me too... I was convinced something was wrong... was actually in tears for most of the morning but everything looks perfect and we're right on track!!!!!!
*first post!* I came to this thread hoping I wasn't alone and that not feeling pregnant is common. I'm 10wks 2 days and have had very minimal symptoms. My nipples hurt from week 4 to about week 8. Then stopped, I've felt very little nausea, haven't thrown up, I've had cravings but I don't feel that they're pregnancy related, my clothes don't fit right but I'm affraid it's just fat. I've been emotional but it's not uncommon for me to feel emotional normally. The only thing I can really go off of is the 5 positive pregnancy tests I've taken, and my doctor said my uterus is growing. Im still waiting for the results of my blood test. I go for an ultra sound on the 29th so fingers crossed that there's a healthy baby in there!
*update!!* forgot to get back on here with an update, went for the ultrasound and there was a healthy baby in there jumping away!! Heart rate was 160
@Brittany2266 You're not alone!! I'm 10w 3d now and have also had veryyy minimal symptoms. Actually I have and still am experiencing almost exactly like what you have/are experiencing symptom wise. I had an u/s at 8w 5d and everything was completely fine! Keep us updated!! I bet you've got a healthy little baby in there, though
Ok ladies, went in for my genetic testing meeting and going over things about that I think I got probably the best early Christmas gift ever. I told the Dr. about how I've never gotten an u/s and how nervous I was that everything was ok and waiting till 20 weeks is along time and blah blah. He said if there was a space and the tech wasn't busy I would get squeezed in. He did tell me we wouldn't be going over anything it was just a piece of mind for me and I actually got an u/s. Womb nugget was in there dancing like Michael Jackson. I wanted to tell you other ladies that have had such a mild pregnancy that there is a light at the end of this stress tunnel and we're going to keep on keeping on together. So if you have a really nice genetics Doctor ask and maybe what they did for me they can do for you.
I'm almost 11 weeks and I have had very minimal symptoms since I found out. I've had some cramping and even missed it at times because I knew the baby was there at least when I did feel them. I felt the same way about my ultra sound like many have said; I was so nervous while my love was so excited to see our baby. I have days I don't even feel pregnant other than needing new clothes because my clothes feel tight. Once I saw the heartbeat and baby move I am just praying and telling myself to enjoy it now. It's the best feeling. I hope we all have a healthy pregnancy!
Alright girls, got the harmony test results back and everything chromosome wise is 100% ok. I hope you ladies are breathing easier and doing wonderful.
Bad news. Although the symptoms came back I just had my second ultrasound and baby had stopped growing. I should be 11 weeks today. I can't believe this. It hasn't hit yet.....
I have another u/s on Monday and I'm starting to get nervous. All my other u/s have been healthy and at my last appointment almost 2 weeks ago and the heartrate was at 175(no u/s then). Although my symptoms have definitely died down they're still there and my stomach is definitely growing. My fears are completely irrational and I always worry about everything but I'll feel so much better on Monday! I'm 13W2D
Going back over this thread because anxiety is at a whole new level today. 10w5d and feel like symptoms have all but subsided. Thanks, everyone, for sharing your stories. It's helping me today.
Just to put this out there also- my best friend has four kids under seven. All were healthy pregnancies with textbook deliveries resulting in healthy children. Her worst pregnancy symptom is going into labor.
She has such easy pregnancies she is now considering being a surrogate.
