Symptoms fading and backache

[gemmaj3]

Hi all, I am 10wks 1day at the moment and I've noticed over the past couple of days that my symptoms seem to be fading?? I was mega tired and although I am still tired I'm not tired as much and my breasts aren't as sore as they were. I have only been sick twice since I found out I was pregnant but I have been having alot of nausea, especially when I've not ate for a while.

I just can't stop worrying and today I have had backache which is the first thing I had when I miscarried, besides spotting. Is anyone elses symptoms fading? I had a scan at 8wks 3days and all was fine and we have our next scan next week.

I'm a nervous wreck :-(

Hi! i feel the same. i am 9 wk tomorrow. i have back aches, some mild abd pains. (this has been going on since the beginning). i have had no nausea, and i have noticed that my ta-ta's are not hurting as much lately. everything i have read has stated that around 10 weeks, hormone levels average off and you start to feel better. i still worry the same as you. i just try to have faith that everything will be ok.

My symptoms are fading as well. I will be 9 weeks tomorrow. My nausea has been going away, my skin is clearing up and I am no longer cramping like I was in my 6th week. When I wake up my whole body is achey and my back aches sometimes, but I always have back pain. My left knee has also been killing me for weeks now. My doctor told me that pregnancy can make my joints hurt and that I can very easily throw my back out if I lift something the wrong way.  My doctor told me as long as I don't start bleeding not to worry.

I didn't really have many symptoms throughout.  Some days I will have nausea and then I will go without any for a few days.  I am now 10 weeks and have been getting symptoms consistently throughout the day which is new for me.  I just think everybody adjusts to their hormones differently and sometimes we look to hard for them and scare ourselves.  I know I do!!!!  Good luck.

My symtoms have been fading for last week even though I am only 8 weeks and 2 days.

I called my RE last week about my symptoms seeming to be gone and a backache. She told me not to worry. She said the same thing about the uterus taking over. Stay positive and enjoy pregnancy. I know hard to do! :)

I could have written this exact post.  I was 9 weeks 5 days when I woke with a terrible backache.  My freaking out wasn't helped by the fact that my last miscarriage was at 9 weeks 5 days.  I've noticed in the past week that my exhaustion is not as overwhelming as it was, breasts aren't as sore, and my nausea is getting better in the morning, although it still comes back strong in the afternoon and evening.  
In my case, I think the backache was caused by a cold front, combined with my normally bad back, plus increased hormones and maybe pressure from the uterus?  It went away after two days, but now my hip hurts.  I read that around 9-10 weeks the placenta starts taking over the hormone production/regulation, so if symptoms start to lessen that means the placenta is working well.  
I have another three weeks before my next appointment.  I'm trying not to worry and just have faith- trying at least.  I hope you are doing ok and have a great scan next week!

I read that symptoms peak around 9 - 10 weeks and then start to fade because I believe at that point your HCG levels start to go down a little.  I think it's normal.  I do the same thing though.  I am now 9w 4d and I worry because some days I feel nothing and other days I feel worse.  I am also having backache.  Mine I think is from sleeping on my side.  I am a belly sleeper so I think that is a big change for me.  Also I have a long drive to school and sitting on those hard chairs don't help.  I think you ok and it's normal.  Good luck.
