I really need some reassurance. I want to hear from those that have had previous babies:
You CAN have a day with no symptoms AND still have the baby be healthy, right?
I think I'm freaking unduly because I lost my last one.
Even if you can just reply with "yep," please do. I need other women IN MY FACE telling me my baby's probably fine.
Thanks.

This is very much true. I can completely understand your concern and worry, but please take solice in the knowledge that absence of symptoms doesn't mean there's something wrong.

Thank you so much, girls! I've been on the verge of tears for hours - the tiniest things cause panic after losing my last one. Both of you be confident that your posts will be re-read a lot over the next few days.

Absolutely. You're right around 5 weeks, right? Or maybe not quite five weeks? It's totally normal to have a day when you feel fine.

I had a great first rpegnancy, and never had MS, sore boobs, etc...my baby was/is perfect! My only real complaint was 1st tri exhaustion-but that set in later than 5 weeks.
I think it's human nature to worry no matter what your condition-again, I don't have many symptoms (a little tired, a little off certain foods, but nothing really bad), and I sometimes get that niggling worry that I should have MS, etc etc. But then I look at my friend who has non-stop MS and horrible pregnancies, and she worries that it's a bad sign...

Mama, symptomless is no cause for concern! You have a BEAUTIFUL chart there. I have stopped temping because I don't want to worry needlessly, but your temps are perfect, and if a m/c was pending, your temps would start to drop to your coverline.

Bella! I didn't know that! I was debating this morning whether it might be time to ditch the temps, but now that I know that...
Thanks for the info tidbit. My temps are good'n'high; I feel much better.
I'll just have to remember to restrain from temping if I wake up cold.:p

Yes you can be beautiful and not have a drop of MS and have a happy healthy babe. I am hoping for both this pregnancy, I was sick as a dog last time and this time so far so good.

Yep! Perfectly normal to have days where you feel great. Some mama's never have morning sickness at all.

Yes! It is very normal to not have any signs this early. I never really had any major signs with both of my other pregnancies and I have 2 girls that turned out perfect!

I'm 5 weeks and have had no symptoms, though I'm keeping my fingers crossed because last time I had horrible ms.
My friend was pregnant at the same time during my last pregnancy, and while I had horrible ms, -she did not have ANY nausea. She didn't have the weird "smell" thing going on like me either, and as a matter of fact, she said she said she sometimes forgot she was pregnant because she had no symptoms. I was so jealous. Both of her pregnancies were like this and she had two normal pregnancies, and healthy babies. Her dds are now 2 and 4.

Definitely! I've found MS to be connected to some extent to what I've eaten. I think more protein helps me feel less queasy (although this isn't a perfected science for me yet). I go days without feeling anything!
