obsessing over no symptoms

karenwalter · #1 May 26th, 2009, 08:17 AM

Can any of you ladies help put my mind at ease? I'm still having no sympotms and I'm now into my 6th week. I'm not even tired! Only having cramping here and there. It makes me worry that something is wrong. Anyone else take a long time to get symptoms and still have a healthy little bean?

Well I haven't had a healthy baby yet, but I had a great u/s at 8w3d with a strong heartbeat, and I have hardly any symptoms. Not a hint of morning sickness, my bbs were only sore if I pushed on them and that's pretty much gone, I didn't have to pee more than normal (maybe a little but only because I am drinking a ton of water), although I may have been a little more tired than normal (I think mostly in week 6 and 7). At first I honestly begged for m/s, now I'm just considering myself lucky (and hoping it doesn't mean I'll have a horrible delivery to make up for it) LOL

I went from feeling great and having virtually no symptoms to being exhausted and feeling horrible over night. I was 6w 1d when that hit. Some women feel great their entire first trimester though. Maybe you'll be one of them.

Don't worry at all. It's still really early. I didn't feel many symptoms till about 6 and 1/2 weeks and even then I had very very little. I think it started off with slight nausea when I didn't eat anything for a few hours. My worst nausea didn't start till week 9 and only lasted a week. My morning sickness wasn't bad at all compared to some woman and that totally freaked me out. My doctor said some woman are just able to handle the rising hormones better than others.

Thanks ladies I feel so much better! I actually think I might be a few days behind where the doctor set my due date so maybe the symptoms will come a little later.

I would try not to worry. I think it's different for everyone. Unfortunately for me, I had MS symptoms very early on but there are definitely ladies on this board who had nothing for a while, too.

My symptoms didn't come into full force until the middle of my 7th week... Just try to relax. Easier said than done, I know

Add me to the list of people who got symptoms during the 6th week. Try to relax and not worry about it. Really your cramping is a symptom, so I'm sure everything is fine in there!

I am very earlyyy and only have on and off cramping but I wanted to tell you about my friend. She just gave birth to a healthy baby girl on March 26. She had absolutely ZERO symptoms! She never once got nauseas or threw up anything. Right up to her 9 months she even went out with us to a club one night for a friends bday! She felt great! She just got veryyy swollen in the last months but early pregnancy she had nothing...she didnt even start to show until 6 months!!! You couldnt even tell she was pregnant..im like are you sure there is a baby in there? Her stomach was flat flat...so she is my you never know what can happen. I also have antoehr friend that with her first pregnancy she never got sick once! and with her second she said she was throwing up left and right. so every pregnancy is different. I wouldnt worry to much...take it as a blessing! But its true that cramps are a symptom...Good Luck!!

((hugs)) I don't have very many symptoms either and they definitely come and go... try not to worry about it though (easier said than done I know).

I don't think it hit for me until week 8. Some people don't even get symptoms so try not to fret.

Be grateful for everyday you feel good!

Weeks 8-13 were the worst for me and I think I didn't really start feeling sick until after 6w and even then I would have days that I felt totally fine and would freak out! Take a deep breath and take one day at a time.

sugarbaby26 · #14 May 26th, 2009, 06:52 PM

awweee Karen!!! I have only been having cramps. Just recently I began to get tired. But from everyones responses, everyone is different!! I am sure everything will be fine!!

Gray_baby · #15 May 26th, 2009, 08:33 PM

I had some symptoms early on like mild cramping and feeling hungry all the time but morning sickness didn't kick in until I was 6 weeks, 4 days. I never vomited from it but man, I felt pretty crap all day for a few weeks until one day it was just gone. Now my only symptom seems to be extreme tiredness all day! And if I get too tired I get a headache.

So definitely try not to worry, symptoms come and go for some women
