Do you FEEL Pregnant? (At 5/6 weeks?_

Do you FEEL Pregnant? (At 5/6 weeks?_

I'm only about 5 or 6 weeks along (with my first baby) and don't have my first appointment until Jan 9th but I cannot stop worrying about miscarriages!  :(  I've had a lot of family and friends recently who miscarried and I want this baby so very badly!   I've read a lot online about what I should be experiencing and what's going on with your body when your pregnant, etc but for some reason I just don't feel pregnant!  My chest is very sensitive and I feel VERY light cramps, which I hear is normal... not even really cramps as much as pressure or something.  But no morning sickness or anything that screams PREGNANT!  (Besides a few very possitive pregnancy tests!)  :)  I'm SO worried and I know that's not good for the baby but my hubby and I want this SO badly and have been trying for awhile so this is such a blessing and I just worry so much about losing it!  I was just wondering if anyone else was pregnant or is pregnant and doesn't totally feel pregnant.  I feel good but at the same time feel like I should be sick and throwing up and miserable... what's up with that?  Usually people feel miserable and wish they were feeling good and I'm feeling good and wishing I was feeling miserable!  :)  Any advice would be wonderful!  Thanks everyone!!!  :)

Most people don't get morning sickness until after 6 weeks since its a build up of the pregnancy hormone that causes you to feel sick. Also, its common for most people to not have any symptoms really at all. I had a miscarriage and had a million symptoms and then got pregnant again right after and had none. At 6/7 weeks I got morning sickness but it was gone by like 10 weeks. Never had cravings until after 20 weeks or sore boobs until the very end. I was a lot more emotional though.

I only had morning sickness two or three days from my whole pregnancy. I had light cramps as well and sore breasts.   If your breasts feel different, then you ARE feeling pregnant, right?  Don't worry about all the other symptoms; not all women get them.  Stop worrying so much because your mood itself can affect the baby's growth.  You're ok and what you're feeling and what you're not feeling is normal.  Congratulations!

I didn't get really bad morning sickness until I was around 7 weeks. The cramps are VERY normal, you don't need to worry about that, I am 9 1/2 weeks and I would say they went away about a week or so ago.
Stop worrying, just try and enjoy being pregnant, it is in God's hands now.

I had terrible morning sickness. Count your blessings at this point a lot of people don't experience sickness :)
