1st Trimester

What are/were your symptoms at 4-5 weeks?

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 did not really start to feel symptoms until about the end of week 5/beginning of week 6. ?They started slow at first, now are pretty much a part of everyday life :) ?I started to get tired, and nauseous for a couple hours at a time, not all day or anything. ?My boobs d/n start to get sore until a few days ago, actually. ?It is different for everyone. ?HTH!

  • 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

  • I am 4 wks 3 days and I have slighted sore to touch boobs since day of BFP, smells are strong, can't drink coffee and had to have it every morning and mild cramping sporadically throughout the day low in crotch. I also am not eating as much as I usually do because when I start to eat I get full quickly. 
  • 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!

  • Thanks for sharing ladies. I know I will regret saying this later, but I kinda want to have nausea to make sure everything is ok with the pregnancy Embarrassed. I go to the doc on Wed. though.
  • I'm usually on BOTB and just got my bfp. I'm only 4 weeks and I was wondering the same thing, so I figured I'd stop and say hi. My symptoms? A dull nauses feeling most of the day, an abnormally strong sence of smell and I can't eat alot of the foods I usually love. Well worth it though.

    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.

  • With my first I was horribly nauseated all the time and VERY tired.  The 2nd I has heartburn, mild cramping at first, could not drink carbonated stuff, sore nips, a very bloated
  • I didn't have any symptoms other than fatigue until week 7. Some women don't have any the whole pregnancy and everything turns out fine.
  • Mine were fatigue, body aches and mild pains in my abdomen (due to stretching, according to my dr.). Sore boobs is an early symptom (one that I didn't have). My m/s didn't start until week 6.

  • 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.

  • I am on my 5th week  (was 5 weeks on Wednesday) also and the only symptoms I had when I tested and got my BFP were sore boobs too... They are getting worse as time goes on and I am a little tired, I think my sense of smell is getting a little stronger... I was also hoping that I had more symptoms so I would "feel pregnant" but based off of everyone else's posts that will come soon enough! :)

  • I was wondering the same thing too, so I was glad to see this topic.   I feel some mild cramping and my boobs are a little sensitive, but not bad.  I'm actually not eating as much, but maybe that was just post-holiday back to normal eating.  Occasionally I'll notice a stronger sense of smell, but it's not overpowering me or anything.   I really don't feel like I have any symptoms  right now.
  • 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!

  • Heightened sense of smell, heavy feeling bbs (not sore yet), mild cramping, bloat. These are pretty much the same symptoms I had with my son. I remember going through several weeks not feeling pregnant in my first tri. even though I looked pg. It's different for everyone, but if you're not experiencing many symptoms, it's totally normal.
  • I get small waves of nausea, and I get so tired I feel like I'm going to fall asleep sitting up. With dd, I actually slept through 3 hours of a cookout/bonfire at a friends!
  • I'm nauseated most of the day, my sense of smell has gotten alot stronger and some things I used to love smell just aweful now. Boobs are slightly sore and small random cramps during the day. Oh and I'm so much more tired now than I used to be. Can't do much of anything between 10 am and 1 pm, thank goodness I'm at home during the day!

  • I didn't really feel anything until almost 7 weeks. (I didn't test until the beginning of that week actually.) But then the nausea set in and it was BAD! It has gotten better, thank goodness, but it still isn't totally gone. I also feel hungry ALL the time, and certain smells and foods make me gag. Other things sound great, which is weird. My boobs aren't really sore at all. I think everyone is different and the feelings come and go. I haven't gone to the dr yet, and don't get to until the 20th, so I am still hoping all is well, but assume it is since I haven't had any cramping/spotting and have had other crazy stomach symptoms.?
  • i didn't feel pregnant at all until week 7, when i started feeling slightly nauseous. week 8 i started having MS. i'm still dealing with MS but it's getting better. i also have sore boobs, food aversions, excess saliva, and can't stand the smell of anything, but other than that, things are pretty easy.
  • 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.

  • Right after my BFP (14dpo) I had mild cramping and felt pressure for about a week (around week 5-6). From 12-14dpo I had implantation spotting and right after O I had sore boobs. Now I have m/s... fun!
