I will be 5 weeks tomorrow but it almost doesn't feel real. I do have extremely sore boobs, but that is it. I do not have m/s, too much fatigue, or am I starving all the time as described by others. I was reading "your pregnancy week by week" and they go into detail about miscarriages and ectopic pregnancies and it just scared the crap out of me.
Share your symptoms around this time.
TIA
Re: What are/were your symptoms at 4-5 weeks?
I am reading that book too and that part bothered me too.
I found out when I was 4w4d and for about a week or so after that I only had sore boobs (still do) and some very mild cramping.
Just this week I have started to feel a little more tired, random periods of nausea, and the feeling of hunger way often than any one women should be allowed! lol
Just throw the book at me -- that is what I am feeling! M/s (nausea), heartburn, constipation, fatigue, twinges/sharp somethings in my uterus, heightened sense of smell, sore bbs, sore nips, moodiness, and cravings!
Yeah, I'm reading "What to Expect" at home but we went to Barnes and Noble this evening and I was looking through "Your Pregnancy Week by Week and it sort of freaked me out. I just want to be over the 1st tri already.
Oh I forgot about smells! I am like a bloodhound!!! I kid you not, today in the drive through lane at my bank, I could smell the lady's perfume in the car next to me even though her window that was open was the one furthest from mine! It's CRAZY!
Also I've had quite the opposite of constipation and often very, very lose. Mostly either in the morning or at night, which I read is a form of m/s.
Oh yeah, I have it all. Neasea all day, lightheaded, constipation, tired, sore boobs, crying over every little thing, horrible/painful gas, aversion to chocolate/sugar, mild cramps, muscular type aches in my sides.
But I keep reminding myself that means the baby is growing and getting stronger.
I'm lucky - I'm in my seventh week and other than sore boobs, I haven't had any symptoms at all. However because of that, I was so scared something was wrong that I wasn't sleeping at all until this week when we went for our first pre-natal. From what my physician said, everyone's different and ever day is different. Relax and enjoy!

All those books are scary! Keep in mind they list every possible symptom just to cover all their bases, that doesn't mean you will get any or all of them.
At 4-5 weeks I had sore boobs & cramps, but it didn't feel any different the usual stuff before my AF. In week 5 I started getting just a teeny bit nauseous in spurts & occasionally dizzy.
I have only sore bb's and some mild cramping here and there - growing pains as dr says. Its normal to not have a ton of other symptoms this early on so dont worry!
