Really worried - no symptoms

fizz63 · Sep 2nd, 2009, 16:33 PM

I am getting abit concerned to say the least .... i dont seem to have any symptoms of pregnancy at all. No cramping or anything.

What symptoms should i be feeling at 5 weeks ? any ? i do seem to be slightly bloated but i am not sure if that is because of bfp.

the day i got my positive preg test and the following day, i did feel cramps but i have had nothing for the last 6 days. is this really normal ?

any advice anyone ?

i didnt notice anything till after my first scan at 12weeks with Sophie, but then i didnt know i pregnant till i was 8 weeks so i wasnt really looking for symptoms, only thing i had different till then was larger boobs, i assumed it was because i had put a bit of weight on.

If your worried do another test maybe? i know i would.

I normally start getting symptoms at exactly 6wks. Some people get really lucky and don't have any symptoms through the whole pregnancy other than a growing tummy! You should try watching that show "I didn't know I was pregnant." Not sure what station it's aired on but it shows lots of women who had no clue they were pregnant until they went into labor. Hard to believe but when you hear their stories you understand it a lot more.

Every woman is different i never had any symtoms either and the only reason i took a test was because i was late for my period.
Even now i dont have many symptoms, just i am up 10 times in the night needing to pee!
I read a lot on pregnancy and i know that the symptoms kick in from week 6 and last till week 12 usually.
I wouldnt worry too much believe me your time for symptoms will come. Keep us informed huni xx

Hun, I was worried like this but symptoms didnt really kick in till 6 weeks for me. It doesnt mean your not pregnant though. If your gut instinct is really concerned Id speak to your midwife, its the only thing you can do at this stage hun and wait. xx

5 weeks - I was a little bit bloated and I was hungrier. That was it.

No matter what anyone told me I worried anyway. I have virtually no symptoms, only in retrospect I can identify a few but at 5 weeks I didn't even have sore boobs yet. I am generally hyper-aware of what's going on in my body so if there was something to be noticed I would have for sure.

I didn't have any nausea either the whole time. There was once at maybe 6-7wks where i felt funny for an hour and then yesterday and the day before for a few hours. Honestly if I didn't know I was pg these waves could have easliy been ignored as they were quiet mild in comparison with what I hear many ladies go through.

Try not to worry the best you can....I don't know if I am making this up but around 10wks my hormones shifted or something and much of the anxiety i felt juts kind of went away even though nothing changed...have faith and try to enjoy.

i hardly any symptoms at 5 weeks. sore nipples and that was it. They all kicked in at 7 weeks! xx

Hey, generally the symptoms dont start kicking in until 6 weeks IF you get them some women just dont and sail through pregnancy!! dont worry about the no cramping thing while for some women its very normal its equally as normal not to cramp. bearing in mind at 5 weeks things are still extremly tiny. It annoys me when people say "id be worried if i didnt cramp" because every pregnancy is different even though yes things re adjusting inside it is perfectly normal not to physically feel these changes I never had and still havnt had any cramps from my bfp until now the only thing i felt were twinges around the 11 week mark and i put this down to my uterus starting to move up. I hope what all the ladies have said makes you feel more at ease and dont worry if the symptoms dont appear you will still see bubs on your scan like all the ladies with symptoms! If your really worried you could do another test but i think what your saying is perfectly normal for a pregnancy at 5 weeks.

congrats

Glad to see I am not alone. I am in the same situation. 5 1/2 weeks and no symptoms yet. I was starting to get worried until I read all of the comments. Thanks!
