Pregnant but have NO Pregnancy Symptoms

[Buckeye1]

I was just wondering if anyone has went onto have a healthy pregnancy without experiencing pregnancy symptoms.  I'm a little over 5 weeks and I feel great.  I may get an occasional lower back ache or a sharpe abdominal pain but all in all, I feel normal.

Just for piece of mind, I'm having my hcg level checked again on Monday to make sure it's still going up. I'm scheduled for my first u/s on Nov. 18, but this two week wait it killing me.

I had NO symptoms up until week 7 except my breasts were a little sore.  Then at week 7 or 8 my face broke out, I got the veins in my boobs, and started getting some m/s at night.  Try not to worry.   With my DS I didn't have any symptoms at all, not even the sore boobs.  I had a huge appetite from day 1 not one episode of m/s.

I didn't have much in the way of symptoms other than normal af type stuff. Some women just tolerate the hormone changes better. I have noticed that normally symptoms start around 7 weeks.

I had no symptoms with either one of my boys. With this one it did not hit until around 7 or 8 weeks with morning(all day) sickness which went away at 12 weeks.

Thanks for the replies.  It makes me feel better that what I'm experiencing or not experiencing seems to be normal.  It's just that I've already experienced two m/c, one at 16 weeks and the other at 5 weeks so I'm a little nervous with this one.

Hello, I know how you are feeling. I went throught the same thing with this pregnancy (I'm sure some people remember my frantic postings). My pregnancy symptoms seemed to come and go, one day my breasts were sore, then a few days later they weren't. It was soooo freaky! I really didn't have any nausea until after 8 weeks. And!!! One day I seemed to stop peeing all the time, and that scared the daylights out of me. Well, after all that freaking, I'm now 14 weeks (almost 15!) What got me through was that I kept reminding myself that symptoms of miscarriage are hard to miss (bleeding and cramping). Don't let not having many symptoms scare you too much. There are sooooo many people who do not experience many symptoms in the early states. And, you are one of those lucky people! I know if feels unlucky when you want so badly to "feel" pregnant. I will glady send you my pregnancy symptoms **~~**Baby ** dust**~~** *coming* *your* *way*!!!!

I had no symptoms with my first. This one on the other hand has given me symptoms since day one.

i had no symptoms at all with ds until i was showing and got heartburn.....i could feel himm move once in a while that was pretty much my only sign that i was pg.......and with this one i didn't get any symptoms until about 6-7weeks....
i know you've been through a lot but try not to worry.

I'm gonna have to agree with the rest of the bunch!  I didn't have any symptoms until around 7weeks either...except for face breaking out...continued to not really have symptoms throughout...had really sore breasts for a few weeks...tired for a couple of months...been really easy.

I thank God for the ease of this pregnancy, count yourself lucky.  Though I have a feeling I'll be paying for it during delivery and upbringing (she's gonna be a handful!)

Good luck!!!

[jennyleightay]

I, too, was very worried because I had no symptoms.  At my 6 week ultrasound, the baby's heartbeat was weak, so I was convinced that I would miscarry or already had, and having no symptoms just added to my fears.  But...I had another ultrasound at 8 wks, and the heartbeat is much stronger and everything appears to be fine.  And I still have no symptoms other than my boobs are a little bit tender.  No nausea as of yet!!!  I'm keeping my fingers crossed...my mother never had any morning sickness either, so I'm hoping this is hereditary!  Good luck, and try not to worry!

Hello Ladies,I am kind of new but I found your postings very helpful.I think I am pregnant but no signs apart from tiredness and waking up really early about 3.33am. My bbt for last month had 2 dips and since the dip, my temperature has been higher than the dip. I wonder if anyone know anything about BBT. I am a little scared to take a pregnancy test as I have been believing God for over 6 years. I am 3days late and on the 8th of November , i notice a little blood stain when i cleaned up. I have this unusual headache and I had heartburn yesterday morning.  My bbt is 36.29 as of today. Please help if you have any information.
Thank you and sorry for my long message.

I too am pregnant with no symptoms.  It is very disconcerting considering not many sources seem to say symptoms can come and go...my second concern is that I checked my cervix (due to paranoia) and it feels soft but slightly open, does anyone know if it should feel more closed over, or am I on my way to miscarriage?

Thanks in advance.

Hi! I'm new : )I just found this website while looking for some answers.I am so happy to hear that I am not the only one with this concern.I am 5 weeks, and only feel occasionally tired with some mild cramping.  I too suffered a Missed Miscarriage six months ago.  Evidently the fetus died at six weeks although my body never let it go.  Strange and Sad.  So, round two I feel much more nervous.  But it is comforting to read that I am not alone.My Dr. does not want to see me until 8 weeks, which I think is a LONG time.  Do you suggest that I should insist on getting my hormone levels checked? Thanks!!!

[jerugirl]

hi,

i'm so releived to have read all your comments. this is my first pregnancy and im hardly having any symptoms. i'm around seven weeks, my levels all look okay and i've even had a sonogram already. everything looks fine but i just don't FEEL pregnant. other than constant urination i'm hardly having any symptoms. i guess i just keep my fingers crossed.

[cajun01]

Just to join in the no-symptoms-fest; I'm one too!  Last time I had my period was 31 Aug and my cycle is on average 35 days (It has always been a little irregular).  I have done a few pregnancy tests over the past few months, but it was not until earlier this week that some came back positive!  And the doctor's blood work and urine tests have confirmed that I am pregnant!  I still don't believe it though, becuase, like many of you, I don't 'FEEL' pregnant.  Nothing. Nada.  Feeling it would make it seem more real, but then, I should enjoy not being sick or sore.  I don't think I will TRULY beleive it until my ultrasound next week.

I'm SO glad I'm not alone in this!!!  Let's try not to worry too much!!

[hope4baby]

hello everyone, reading your comments have made me feel so much better to see ppl going through the same thing as you. I had a miscarriage a 5 months ago, at about 8 wks. Well i missed my period this month and took a preg. test and got 2 lines!! :) But along with this has brought along a new found worry! I know worrying doesnt help but still. I see my doctor this week, and being that i did have a previous miscarriage my doctor said he will see me more, checking hcg levels and all. So if you have been through this i would advise you to see a doctor that is willing to help put your mind at ease, i would not want to wait til 8-10 wks to see my doc. As of now, the only symptoms i have is tendet breast, and CONSTIPATION( excuse my french) HAHAHA!! Honestly, alot of ppl say be happy if you dont get many symptoms, but honestly i do want to feel pregnant. But GOOD LUCK to you all!!! :)

It has been very helpful to read all your posts on this topic.  I am pregnant (about 4 weeks) and I have no symptoms as of yet.  I keep looking for changes in my breasts or noticing if I feel sick, but nothing!  I do not feel pregnant, but the 2 tests I took say that I am.  I think I will feel better after the doctor's visit in about a month, but it helps to know that there are several others out there that are not experiencing any symptoms either.  Thanks!

Hi everyone. I’m new to this whole posting thing, but I was hoping maybe you all could help. I have been off of Ortho-cyclen (BC) for 2 cycles now. I had been on BC for about 3 years. My husband and I have been TTC since I stopped BC. My timing was a little off in the first cycle my and I O’d on CD 17 when I thought it would be 14 or 15. So no preg in the first cycle, but AF on day 30 as usual. I ALWAYS had clockwork regular 30 day cycles before BC. I was surprised but excited that my AF went back to normal so quickly after BC. This past cycle we TTC on CD 10 – 15 (every other day), I wished it was later but my husband was going out of town. To my understanding that could still result in preg if I O’d on day 17 again. Well…. Today is day 32 and still no AF. But I have no symptoms. I actually feel like AF is coming at any minute, lower abdominal cramping and twinges and a little acne. Should I test any way? Is it possible that my AF is still off because of the BC?

[gonza]

Just to let you know, I was on Ortho Tri Cyclen for 8 years and stopped taking it in July of this year.  I got AF within days of stopping and then the next cycle I had the symptoms you explain.  I had cramps like I was about to start and just never did.  I tested when I was 3 days late and got a positive.  I am currently 24 weeks pregnant.  SO, my point is, it is totally possible that you are preggo!!  Good luck!

[catwill]

I really wanted to let everyone know that I truly appreciate being able to read your comments about having no symptoms during pregnancy. Although I'm not 100% for sure (I haven't been to the doctor's yet) my home tests have been positive. I haven't really expeienced any symptoms though. AF is about a week late and I've had mild cramping off and on for the past two weeks now. I'm just now experiencing a little breast soreness but that's it. I've been driving my best friend crazy with questions and concerns. So I'm glad to know that I'm not the only woman going thru this.

[livelysue]

I had the worst heartburn and my hips hurt is how I realized I was pregnant and took a home test.  I had very little pregnancy symptoms and that includes the baby moving.  I was not kicked very often or that i felt and made many trips to the hospital and the monitor showed the baby was kicking and moving but I was not feeling it.  The only problem was heartburn throughout my pregnancy and it started right away.  My baby had a full head of hair when he was born.

Hi everyone, im a little concerned because this is my second pregnancy, the first ended in a miscarriage at 6 weeks. I am 8 weeks right now, i have been having symptoms on and off but they have only been minor like slight aches and pains here and there and a little nausea and breast soreness but then it just seemed as though i woke up one morning and havent seen and signs of pregnancy. I went to my doctors on thursday and he didnt state that there was anything to worry about he said everything is fine i am scheduled to see him in another 2 weeks but i still cant help being a little concerned is this normal?

[dpettus]

I am almost to my 6th week.  I have had a positive blood test.  The doctor didn't not test any hormone levels...she only did a simple blood test to confirm pregnancy.  I have my first appointment on February 3.  I'm quite nervous and I wish she could have taken me earlier!!  Anyway, I have had no symptoms at all since I found out, about a week ago.  Nothing....no breast soreness, no nausea, no fatigue...nothing!! (with the exception of a little cramping last week).  I am so confused....I certainly don't feel pregnant.... I really wish I would feel something so that I would at least "feel" as though this were true!!  I am still not believing it fully (believe me, I want to....but I'm just trying to be realistic).  Wish me luck during my first appointment!!

[cdouglas]

I am 6 weeks.  No nausea, no hurting boobs, no frequent urination, no fatigue, nothing except worry.  It's my 3rd pregnancy and extremely unexpected.  Wondering if this means I will miscarry.  I have nothing but a positive pregnancy test.  Any advice.

[jifnif]

i wouldnt worry until you have your first drs appt, did you schedule that yet??  they will reassure you everything is ok.  if you are concerned then maybe it is best to call your dr but most like to wait until you are at least 8wks.  try not to worry.  :)

[cdouglas]

I told my doctor I had no symptoms.  She scheduled an ultrasound in 6 days to check viability.  That's a fancy word to see if the baby is actually alive.  She didn't seem urgent.  I'm a single mom with 2 kids and i got pregnant from one time with protection.  I really don't want this baby, and I'm sorry to all of those trying to conceive, i know it's horrible to think.  I think abortion is wrong, and I'm kind of holding out hope that maybe God will take this one back.  Is that wrong.  I just don't think I can handle it.  I have a one and two year old.  I don't know what to do.

[jifnif]

well it doesnt sound that great to me because i just lost a pregnancy that i really wanted.  i had no symptoms either.  maybe god will take care of the angel for you but i hope that you take care of that angel in you if it turns out you are carrying a viable pregnancy.  perhaps adoption is an option for you.  my sister had a hysterectomy and is now lookign to adopt.  maybe there is someone out there that wants your child.  

[cdouglas]

I will take care of him or her and love them as I love the other two.  The thought of it is just so overwhelming.  I know that I will be able to, its just seems so impossible now but I know I will adjust. They ended doing the ultrasound yesterday and couldn't determine anything.  So, they took my blood to check the HCG and will do it agin on Friday morning.  I will know then for sure If I need to turn into SUPERmom or not.  Thanks for your support.

[jifnif]

glad to hear that you would take care the child.  :)  so they didnt see anything on your ultrasound???  My tech told me that I only had contained products of conception, which i could see that there was no sac.  I hope that all will be ok for you.  It is hard sometimes.  I was a single mom for 13 years!!!  Now when i look back i cant believe i made it.  i feel so blessed now that I have a husband and another child.  this life is so different.  I feel truly blessed.  now if i can just get a sticky pregnancy i would be elated.  be strong and know that you are everything to your children!!! :)

[cdouglas]

Well, I am still PREGO. 7 weeks now.  That must be the magic week for symptons to start.   I have nausea now.  YEA>  I am considering adoption so that a family that can have babies can have one.  I don't think I am enough mommy to go around for a newborn a 2 and 3 year old.  Financially I couldn't cut it either, let alone, my compact car definitely can't fit 3 car seats in the back seat.  It breaks my heart to give up a child, but i think that they would all suffer because their just isnt enough of me to go around.  Thanks for your support.

[bunayhunay]

I am 16 weeks pregnant for the first time and the only symptom i feel is very very sinsitive nipples. Does anybody think there is something wrong with this?

[girly_girl03]

I have never been pregnant and do not know how it feels to be pregnant but i think that i might be...i have back pain and keep having stomach aches throughout the day that come and go and i feel so nausiated..but i do not have sore boobs or any other of the major symptoms...can an one relate or having any advice to if i might be pregnant.

[proudmomandwife]

I have  had three successful pregnancies without symptoms. Not one day of nausea, sore breasts, cravings, or anything the whole 40 weeks. However, my husband did have cravings and nausea. He also started having severe back pain before I actually went into labor each time. My labors were extremely easy, virtually no pain. Maybe your symptom free beginnings will mean an easy rest of the pregnacy. Good luck!

[Hope2OneDay]

Count your blessings! Enjoy any symptomless time that you have while you can!

I didn't get any REAL symptoms until around 7 weeks. Up to that point all I had was periodic cramping, peeing a little more often, occasional dizziness, slight fatigue and gas (the gas was very early on ;-).
Those were the basics.

At 7 weeks, my boobs started hurting/tingling, constipation set in, I had to pee a LOT (especially during the night), and practically slept through my daily routine (I still wonder how I made it home alive some days! LOL)

Anyway, I'm sure there is nothing to worry about. Just enjoy it. I have a friend who (bless her heart) had morning sickness throughout her ENTIRE pregnancy. I think there was ONE month where she felt a little better, but then the MS returned.
