Had symptoms,now suddenly lacking?? Update post 12.

[mwright]

So instead of them getting stronger, they are going away. Granted I am only almost 6 weeks but it has me worried.:

Right now, I don't feel pregnant at all!!! With my dd, symptoms didn't start until I was 6.5 weeks. so maybe they will start up again this week.. I had a miscarriage 2 yrs ago and my symptoms never got stronger at 6.5 weeks, then I miscarried at 8.5 weeks. So I am soo stinking worried.

Am I insane or is anyone else thinking or going through the same thing??

Well, one strong symptom I do have is my moodiness. I get so angry and snap really easy! Geeesh!!

[Lily's_Mom]

I feel a bit too normal right now.

[mwright]

Thank you! Oh my gosh I feel a little better knowing I'm not the only one feeling so normal.. I just want to puke already gosh darn it!! lol

[Andee]

I don't really have any symptoms to speak of either except for headaches. I'm not excited for m/s, but I wouldn't mind feeling something. I am 4 wk 2dy right now. It all just feels too surreal.

[htcamommy]

sometimes I convince myself that I have a "symtom" that I never really had then when it "goes away" I worry. Like um I found out I was pregnant on the same day I was vomiting like crazy. Well that MUST be morning sickness so where'd it go? Well my ds was also throwing up that day and the rest of my house had been throwing up 2 days before SO MAYBE it was just a virus. Tell you what I'd give just about anything to be constipated free right now.

For what it's worth, last Wed. night I went to bed not 'feeling' pregnant at all, even my sore and swollen bb's seemed softer and a lot less tender. I just kept reminding myself that this is really up to God or fate or whatever, not me. Woke up not feeling pregnant. Went to work not feeling pregnant. Later that afternoon m/s hit me with a vengeance and has knocked me on my a** at least once a day at random times every day since. So maybe this is just the calm before the storm ya'll! :Puke

I love that smiley!
I feel pretty normal too. But I figure the little bean has had only about a week since implanting to overwhelm me with hormones so I think (fear? ) that Sleepyheaded_Mama is right.

[thelocaldialect]

Personally, I think too much is made out of symptoms. I had no M/S at all with my son, I know my breasts hurt more, but that was about it for the 1st trimester. People always talk about wanting MS so at least they know the baby is growing healthily, but you know, people miscarry and still have symptoms right up until the day it happens, and some people never have any symptoms and have healthy babies. Try to relax and enjoy feeling normal, consider it a blessing!

[mwright]

I agree! This must be the calm before the storm!!! And you know, I totally remember feeling soo normal right at 6weeks with dd and then bam, it hit hard at 6.5 weeks.. and I remember thinking, that I spoke to soon.lol

For me I associate a healthy pregnancy with ms because that's what I had with dd. And with my miscarriage, I didn't have any ms at all. What would feel normal to me, might not be normal for someone else. Even my sister didn't understand my worries but when I explained that to her, she understood. She had no ms and had a wonderful healthy baby.

Hopefully the ms will be more chill this time and I will have a healthy babe and then next time I wont expect it so much!!

[thelocaldialect]

They say every pregnancy is different, so you never know, maybe the ms won't hit you as hard this time. I'm hoping for no ms this time either, but I think its too early rule it out, unfortunately.

I understand associating things with a mc or a healthy pregnancy though, so please don't think I'm making light of your feelings, just trying to reassure you -- or anyone else who might be reading along and worried about the same thing -- that you can be fine with or without symptoms. I had two mcs actually and I remember having a bit of ms with one of them, but not the other, so for me I don't really have a good benchmark for healthy pregnancies when it comes to having symptoms or not. So far for me its been pretty random I guess. But if I'd had ms with a healthy pregnancy and no ms with my only mc I'd probably feel exactly the same way you do. Associations are pretty powerful things!

Add me to the not enugh symptoms list. I do go back and forth between feeling perfectly normal to feeling kinda sickly if you know what I mean. I'm trying to not be too concerened since I am only 5w 1d. I'm sure they will kick up again here soon.

UPDATE: Ok, I'm an emotional wreck and my worst nightmare is happening. There was a streak of red blood mixed in with my CM this morning on the tp. And nothing since. But I have that bloating, gurgling feel in my uterus like AF is going to start. What gives!!?? No cramping, my temp is still up, cervix is firm and I still have + test.

I ran to the store and got some natural Progesterone Cream but this is so crazy..I want to cry

[ursusarctos]

Don't worry! Spotting is perfectly natural in the first trimester! And you didn't see any more blood after the morning, right? So you're probably fine. The weird feeling in your uterus is probably just all the extra blood and energy buzzing around there at the moment, building your baby. I have a similar feeling in my uterus, and am taking it as a good sign.
Though I understand your freaking out - I got a tiny bit of pink in my cervical mucus just a few minutes ago and that made my heart jump a little bit. But then I told myself what I just told you and I felt better
It seems that the uterus sensations come on in the evening though. I didn't feel anything when I woke up this morning. Others?

[SunShineSally]

Ohh Mama I had A LOT of blood with Ds so much so I went to the ER and it was all fine my cousin had a lot also and she is now carrying a little girl and due in a few months stay as calm as you can stress will make you tummy hirt even more and cause you to stress even more (a visous cycle!) please keep us updated!

Implantation, intercourse?? You know I spotted always 2 days (not 1) after I dtd just like that. Gurgling is probably nerves or m/s about to kick in.

[WaitingForKiddos]

Deep breaths.

I had bleeding too. I'm okay now, and so are lots more women who bled. I think of it like this, my body has bled month for nearly 20 years. Do I really think it'll suddenly stop? Some bleeding is perfectly normal. Don't over think this.

I have that "AF is going to start soon" feeling too. It usually feels stronger at night (like ursusarctos said). Every time I woke up last night I checked for blood, sure that it was starting.

Hang in there!!

Stats say you're likely okay - 50% of women with bleeding - like have to wear a pad bleeding - are fine. You're spotting, which is really normal. The amount of capillaries in the cervix is just amazing! It doesn't take much to jostle one. Beyond that, I'm just hopelessly optimistic for everyone. I haven't found a downside to unrestrained enthusiasm.

[homestyle]

I had spoken with my nurse about spotting I had the day before and after I got a positive test ... she was totally unconcerned, and volunteered that it is normal to feel like you are about to get your period. My friend, 33 weeks preg with twins, said she remembers feeling like she was about to get the biggest period of her life when she was newly pregnant. Sending good thoughts your way ...

[Sleepyheaded_Mama]

I just want to add I have had one of those 'feeling too normal for comfort days' all day today. BB's barely sore, no cramps, no nausea, although I thought I felt faintly nauseous so I drank a Reed's Extra Ginger Ginger Brew right away and that might have staved it off entirely. I lived on that stuff through my first trimester with Cohen, lol. In fact, now that I am writing this, it occurs to me I feel disturbingly 'normal' indeed. Let's all pray this is all going to be okay... ::
