Anyone have their pregnancy symptoms vanish (8 weeks)

Nikki9191 · January 2016

I had slight nausea, extreem fatigue, hot flashes , camping (but no spotting ever), and extremely tender breasts. Now at 8 weeks and 4 days I have lost all symptoms besides my breasts being a bit tender. It seems way to early to be loosing symptoms. Anyone else experience this ? I told my doctor and he didn't raise an eyebrow so I'm assuming it could be normal ?

Your doctor isn't worried. Why are you? Symptoms come and go. The presence or absence of symptoms is not a reflection of viability. Use the search function if you're looking for some comfort or similar stories. This issue comes up a LOT.

Nikki9191 · January 2016

Yes, but I do know that a doctor wouldn't say anything to cause a mother to stress out and over react when it could be nothing. But I guess I'm a little more fearful because I didn't find out I was prego till a little over 5 weeks, so I am concerned about the development. At the time I was in the middle final exams and not so healthy (like I'm talking lattes for lunch and I smoked) . A lot of people told me if I was feeling prego, it was a good sign! So now there is that little bit of worry. I dont feel so pregnant anymore. Thanks I'll try and find some similar threads, but most woman also complained of spotting with the loss.

I personally find that the more you think about it the worse it is. I was the same when I was 8 weeks I was that concerned I demanded an early scan made me feel so much better to see my little bean on there haha

ambercakes92 · January 2016

I was 12 weeks before realizing I was pregnant, and definitely engaged in behaviors that could hurt a developing baby. The only symptom I recall was nausea, and that was easy to ignore until it got to week #2 of it being so consistent. I didn't notice much of anything else, other than being sensitive to cigarette smoke. By 17 weeks my nausea and crazy sense of smell had dissipated. Symptoms will come and go, and if everything has looked good for you so far, just try to trust that things are fine. I definitely worry about how my baby is developing, but multiple doctors have told me that everything looks perfectly healthy so far. I just do my best to relax and trust my doctors, and I expect to give birth in the next couple days!

Pregnancy, first trimester in particular, gives many reasons to worry. Just do your best to trust your doctors! The search function will also show you lots of other ladies whose symptoms have seemed to lessen.

My Doctors were always up front if they saw anything that actually was concerning. Mothers overreact at times but good doctors will let you know if your concerns are valid.

I had next to zero symptoms- just some rlp and ms twice, I was pregnant with twins. Symptoms have nothing to do with viability.

Nikki9191 · January 2016

I actually felt like inquiring about getting an early ultra sound. They have me booked in at 12 weeks and that will be the first time I'll hear it's little heart beat

I know that will add more comfort. Thanks ambercakess92 I hope you have good delivery and a beautiful healthy baby ! It's hard when you find out your preggo . When you read about all the things you should of done even prior to getting prego! . Then you realize you did nothing good for the baby for 5+ weeks ! It makes you feel like a bad mom before the baby even arrives but that could be hormones talking lol. I made a lot of excuses for my symptoms aswell but I was under a lot of stress.

soxfan9968 · January 2016

Sorry, but no. Anytime there is a cause for concerns doctors are required to tell you. It's a liability and legal issue. I understand you're worried but you need to relax. Plenty of people are drinking before they find out they're pregnant or worse. Finding out at 5+ weeks is still pretty early. Just take care of yourself from this point forward. I'm not sure what spotting has to do with me telling you loss/lack of symptoms is a common topic. I would ask if you're worried but trust your doctor if they don't want to do an early ultrasound. Unless you have a history of miscarriage, many won't do it. Although 12 weeks may sound really far away, it gives baby enough time to grow and allows you to see a developed heartbeat. If you go in too early and ovulated later than calculated, that would cause you unnecessary worry. That IS your doctor trying to protect you from needless worry. Going in at 12 weeks also gives your doctor a chance to do get NT measurements. Many insurances don't cover NT scans unless the mother is of "advanced" maternal age. Please relax. No matter what happens do NOT blame yourself.

I was extremely nauseous up until this week. I'm 8 weeks along. I read that your placenta is starting to take on the toll of nourishing baby around now, so your symptoms could ease up.

megstervt · January 2016

My symptoms eased (mostly nausea and gagging and lack of appetite) around late week 8 and week 9. Mine came back full force this week (week 11). I totally understand have felt that fear, but try to just enjoy feeling better because you may start feeling bad again soon. And remember, no period is a symptom!

All of this, but mostly the bolded.

Also, you're not spaghetti sauce. You're pregnant.

As others have said, symptoms come and go. Some have all, some have none. Symptoms provide zero indication about the viability of your pregnancy.

Furthermore, please learn to trust your doctor. If you're going to second guess everything he does or doesn't tell you, you're in for a very long 7 months.

I can't stand the "prego" thing. Use the real word.

goldie987 · January 2016

I had a few days around there where my symptoms eased and I freaked out. They came back after a few days and I wished they had never reappeared. I'm 16 weeks now with a healthy little bugger in there (as of yesterday at least....) and have had on and off symptoms since around 8 weeks. Don't stress if your doctor isn't worried. Remember even 30 years ago a pregnancy test that told you you were pregnant by 5 weeks was a really sensitive one, women had no way of knowing before then and generations of kids turned out okay.

squishy0511 · January 2016

This has happened to me too! I had been really sick since 6weeks and now at 8weeks my nausea is totally gone. I've also been stressing about it! I go for an ultrasound on Wednesday, I'm glad there's others in the same boat!

Nikki9191 · January 2016

Sometimes while reading online forms you might be exposed to words you don't like . Like "prego". But that will happen when you are reading other people's posts. Personally I don't mind it at all, but that is my opinion just like you have yours. So thanks for the unnecessary opinion on my choice of words. I recognize these comments are to be expected when posting public

just thought I would voice my opinion as well .

All I'm saying is that you should have a little respect for yourself. Referring to yourself as "prego" sounds immature and childish. You're not a child. It's time to grow up, start doing a little research, and find a doctor that you can trust.

If you can't trust your doctor when he says that nothing is wrong, even (assuming) that he knows that you smoked and lived an unhealthy lifestyle, well...that's a problem. Internet strangers, most of whom are not medical professionals (even those that are), can't give you medical advice (and really shouldn't).

Whenever someone says "prego" I immediately think "I didn't say thank you" - I am fluent in Italian and that means you're welcome. I know I've been guilty of using it before to try it out but it just seems weird to me.

I am going to do this from now on.

Also, stress does not cause a M/C, period. So a Dr will not lie ( illegal to do so) to prevent 'stress' that won't really affect baby

Providers are legally bound to be open and honest. Trust me, if they were worried , tell will tell you. They use words like 'I am concerned' and 'this may end up serious ' and even ' do to the nature of this, I would like to monitor you more'. But you know.

Self respect and maturity being determined by whether you use a simple non offensive slang? Oh jeez.
I was asking for shared experiences not a medical opinion to clarify. If it wasn't clear enough by my original question.
Anyways hope you have a good pregnancy.

imakeeff0rts · January 2016

@Nikki9191
You also asked "I told my doctor and he didn't raise an eyebrow so I'm assuming it could be normal ?"

Let me break that down for you: "I told my doctor what was going on and he didn't worry, and since I don't trust his professional medical opinion, which I am paying him to give me, I'm going to come ask a board of Internet strangers because their anonymous, non-professional, non-medical opinions matter more to me".

You asked for an opinion. I gave you one. If you don't like it, that's not my problem.

tennisbabymama · January 2016

Mine left around 8 weeks except tender breasts. Came back full force at the end if the trimester. It's normal.

danielladxxx · January 2016

Previous ectopic and missed miscarriage.

I am currently 5 weeks 3 days pregnant - Apart from the odd cramps and the odd days my boobs feel tender.

I am not feeling any symptoms what so ever. I am worried this is another missed miscarriage

squishy0511 · January 2016

I lost my nausea and breast tenderness completely at 8 weeks.. I had an US at 8w4d and baby looked great with a hr of 178! So I guess it's normal to lose symptoms!

jackieoickle · January 2016

My symptoms seemed to disappear around 7 weeks. I was worried so I went to my doctor, I had blood drawn on Sunday and again on Tuesday, my levels are high and rising so that definitely put my mind at ease, especially since I suffered a missed miscarriage in September. Every pregnany is different, with my son I had lot of symptoms all throughout my first trimester.

maggierose8 · January 2016

Jeez, we should all learn to be a little nicer

maggierose8 · January 2016

Good luck I'm sure everything is fine I would personally enjoy a little break from this nausea, try to enjoy it and not worry there ia plenty of wonderful aches and pains to come :-)

HulaCherry · January 2016

My girlfriend and I are a week apart (10 and 11 weeks pregnant) and have had completely different experiences. I have morning sickness, cramping, tender breasts, and food aversions. She feels absolutely wonderful! Trust your doctor. Both of us have seen our doctors, and both of us have been told we are healthy! Everyone goes down their own unique pregnancy path. Good luck!!

FireInWonderland · January 2016

Sometimes a loss of symptoms only means that your body is adjusting well to your changing hormones, and you aren't physically manifesting any reaction to those changes. I barely have any symptoms at all, and even those come and go throughout the week, changing from day to day.
