I'm 5w+3 and have been cramping and sensitive for about a week, but last night it seemed my symptoms have mostly subsided and I'm feeling a little more "normal". Maybe just like I ate a slightly too big dinner! My last pregnancy was a MMC and development ended exactly at 8w and I had similar sensations - early symptoms then feeling relatively normal so it's making me more anxious than needed I think. Is anybody else having symptoms come and go during these earlier stages?
Re: Anybody else having come and go symptoms?
Totally understand your anxiety — especially after a previous MMC ❤️ I’m currently 6w+1 and have had some really similar experiences. Around 5 weeks, my cramping and tenderness were on and off, and a couple of days I felt almost too normal, which definitely made me spiral a bit.
From what I’ve read (and been told), symptoms coming and going can be completely normal in early pregnancy — hormones rise in waves, and every body responds a bit differently. Easier said than done, but try to take it day by day and trust your body.
Sending hugs — you're not alone in this. 💛
The sprial is real, even if -logically- I know fluctuations are normal during these early weeks. It's good to hear that others are having similar symptoms and are happy and healthy!
We aren't sharing the news until we're past the danger zone, for various reasons. It's just nice knowing I'm not alone! ❤️
