Normal symptoms for 8w pregnancy?

[tln]

I was just wondering if everyone who has experienced a healthy pregnancy can share their experiences as far as normal symptoms at an 8w pregnancy. Since I have had 3 miscarriages and am now nearly 8w pregnant, I am constantly wondering (and worrying) whether my symptoms are normal or a sign of a problem. For the last few days, I have been feeling less nauseous than usual and my breasts although still sore, are considerably less sore than they were last week. I've also noticed that I'm only nauseous after I eat, but am otherwise fine. Is this normal? And isn't it too early to be feeling this way, I always thought that I should be experiencing more nausea/breast soreness as the pregnancy progresses, not less. It seems as if my symptoms have already plateaued and may be declining already. Any experiences would be really appreciated. Thanks.

Each pregnancy is different, always keep that in mind.  You may just be blessed with fewer symptoms than most of us.  Don't worry, just talk to your doctor about it all soon.  God bless you.

I am currently ten days late for my period, and the only symptom I have noticed is soreness in one breast, I am forty two, so it is either menstruation beginning soon, menopause, or pregnancy, but I don't think it could be pregnancy, with not very much symptons.

I have an ultrasound scheduled for tomorrow but am not feeling very hopeful at this point. It just seems as if it's much too early to be losing symptoms. Please let me know how your appointments go. Take care.

Hi all..

I'm at 11 weeks today.. And my nausea has subsided quite a bit.
I've read that the first trimester is the most difficult as far as nausea and exhaustion go... Hormones are working overtime as well.. Afterall, this is when everything is forming, the placenta has to take over hormone production, etc.

I don't think there should be any worries about a gradual decline of these symptoms. I'm not a doctor, but this is what I've read.

Some women, however, notice a steep drop off in all symptoms and get a "gut feeling" / intuition that something's not quite right.. . If this is the case, maybe a doctor's visit would be good.

Take care,
-Heather

Like yours, my appt. is tomorrow. I guess we'll both know more then. I was wondering whether you've had any previous ultrasounds yet and whether everything looked okay then. Since you're further along than I am, your loss of symptoms makes more sense than mine. My symptoms are lessening a bit too early, I'm afraid. Let me know how you're doing. Take care.
