I'm feeling really down because there have been a LOT of miscarriages in my DDC and I'm scared that I might be next. I honestly do NOT feel pregnant! The only symptoms I have are all day morning sickness, headaches, sore boobs, and I'm tired all the time. And...I can still fit my pre-preggo jeans...which is NOT like me as a preggo! With both boys...by this time, I had to start wearing bigger sized pants. I felt pregnant by now with them....I just don't feel pregnant! Not even a little!

You have all the symptoms most people have for 7 weeks Sounds like you are completely normal.

I hate DDC early on. They lose so many members due to mc. I tend to stay away I'm sorry they are scaring you!

I wore my pre-preggo jeans up until I was 22 weeks and then only stopped b/c I wanted to wear the maternity ones, haha. Maybe its a sign you're having a girl? I don't blame you for worrying when you see people having m/c all around you, but no symptoms is probably more common than not. Even if it weren't the case for past pregnancies for you - every pregnancy is different. Try not to dwell on it and maybe avoid your DDC for now. I know in the beginning of mine I generally didn't open m/c threads - not because I didn't care, but it just wasn't good for me mentally to be reading that stuff daily for women I didn't really know anything about, kwim?

u must b having a girl hence ur p/g feeling different. I didnt feel ANYTHING (no sore bbs, tiredness, sickness, etc) until close to 9 weeks.

I too hate the early stages b/c soooo many ppl seem to have m/c with varying symptoms. Just talk to your bean, let them know that you're there for them and try to remain optimistic.

I definitely understand why you'd be worried I remember early on in my DDC is was awful But like the above said those symptoms sound exactly like week 7 in a pregnancy The fact that you have all day sickness is a really good way to tell that all is healthy in there (though if it drops of dont get worried either).

Try not to stress. If you're sick that's a great sign

Try not to let it get you down. You have quite a few symptoms and I'm sure all will be fine.

Sounds perfectly normal for 7 weeks! DDCs can be scary, especially in the beginning. All you can really do is try not to worry and remember the majority make it though to the end with a healthy little baby.

I fit in my pre-pregnancy jeans till the day before he was born

Its going to get better--that first 2-3 months is hard for DDC because of this.

I hate the DDC's in the beginning, definitely worrisome! But you sound like you have plenty of symptoms, especially feeling sick all day, that's a good sign.

I NEVER had a single symptom! No m/s, no crazy headaches, not really tired. My boobs grew a TON but other than that I wouldn't have tested if it hadn't been for my chart being HOTT. I'm now halfway and I still don't look/feel pregnant (I will be uploading my 20 week photo in a minute) except for feeling movement! I still worry all the time when she's not moving because nothing else about me screams pregnant. But we've had four ultrasounds now and she's been perfect every time and actually measuring ahead!

Anyway, I'm sure everything is fine! You've had two healthy pregnancies so there is no reason to think there would be any other outcome for this one! I think you're just having a girl!

It sounds perfectly normal to me, including the nervousness. I was terrified of losing my baby in the beginning. Partly because i'd already experienced a m/c but also because there are so many losses in the DDCs it's enough to freak anyone out! I'm sure you're little bean is just fine!

I'm not understanding how you can list all of those symptoms and then say you don't feel pregnant... ???? If other mamas' actual miscarriages are freaking you out that much, maybe join your DDC after you've hit the second tri. *shrug*

This time in DDCs is always so stressful.

Maybe this means that you're preggo with a girl, since your symptoms are different I'm sure everything is just fine!
