Anyone else not feeling anything?

[Belia]

Ummm.....

I'm currently 19 DPO.... I got my BFP on 10 DPO (and 11, and 12, and 13...:shy).... and I don't feel much of anything!

No symptoms other than I'm tired all the time, but I'm also not sleeping well b/c I'm fighting a cold and having a hard time sleeping through the night. (plus I'm on XMas break, so I'm catching up. :)) My boobs haven't changed... I feel a belly twinge once in a while, but nothing that feels significant.

Other than that- Nothing! Tell me the truth- is lack of symptoms a bad sign?

Thanks mamas.

[ThundersCry]

I wish I could say the same! I have been bedridden sick for three days!

With my DD, I was only a teensy bit sick, in the second month, and a lot sick in the last month. She was born perfect. Make you feel better? :D

[barefootpoetry]

I WISH! Enjoy the lack of symptoms, cuz I've got 'em all and it's kicking my butt! :lol

[jaclyn7]

Pregnant or not, I'm constantly nauseous so nothing new there.

I'm not really tired, I can't sleep though, but I've had some breakouts on my face, my boobs are slightly sore, and a tad bit gassy :o I definitely feel different, but everyone Mama and babe is so different. Just remembering from my Mom's pregnancies, they were so different.

ETA: I also have a really dry mouth, with one unfortunate drooling incident. I'm so attractive right now.

I'm really not feeling much of anything. The first time I was so so so nauseous - this time, nothing.

Perhaps I'm slightly tired, but I'm always up for an excuse to sleep.... ;)

I also seem to be peeing more - I think this could be my only symptom. However, I am also drinking more. I've been drinking a quart of red raspberry leaf, nettle, oatstraw, alfalfa tea every day - maybe that is helping?? I'd say I'm definately taking better care of myself this time around - and know my body better - I'm hoping that is why I am feeling better. Although who knows what is coming, but I like to pretend that I have some control. ;)

I'm definately eating more this time - I now know that if I respond to nauseousness with eating, it tends to go away. The first time around I would just wallow in misery. So that helps a little, I think.

[honeybee]

Nope, not too many symptoms here. My jeans are a little tighter. I get tired... but, heck, with a toddler still nursing at night, I'm always tired, even before getting pg. I do seem to have to pee urgently first thing in the morning, but at least I'm not having to get up in the middle of the night yet. Sometimes I can feel twinges that I think are ligaments stretching, but I know I never noticed that with my first. I do feel the faintest bit of nausea if I go too long between meals, but I just make sure I eat and it's not a problem.

In fact, I had a lot more pg symptoms back in October when I *thought* I was pg. It was thinking I was pg and being disappointed when I wasn't that made dh and I decide to ttc a little ahead of our planned time.

[JWhite31]

I'm not feeling much at all. If I hadn't gotten a BFP, I probably wouldn't even notice anything different. All I have noticed is that I'm a little more tired than usual and colder than usual.
But I never had that many early symptoms with my previous pregnancies either.

[muppet729]

I agree with the PP - there have been times when I haven't been pregnant that I felt more pregnant than I do now... I think that's why a part of me is still in a surreal kind of denial...

[AmamaAgain]

Hello Ladies! I'm about 16 DPO and got a BFP yesterday. I've had dull cramps, not really bothering me but definetely there. Is this common? My breast have only felt as weird as they do before a period. Besides that, I've been pretty good, just getting sudden feelings of fatigue. That kind of scares me though. When I was pregnant with my 6 year old, I was throwing up and sick and miserable. If this is what my pregnancy will be like...I'm gonna coast through just fine.

[RunningMama]

I am not feeling much here either. i hope and pray that everything is ok, and that this one stays this way. My last was horrible, i was SO sick the whole 9 months i vowed never to do that again!! BUT since i am really feeling so great now i will have another right after if i am guarenteed to have this again!! :thumb

I do have sore boobs, and i am peeing a lot more- i do have some sleepiness in the evenings, but that is it! (oh, and some cramping too...but i did have that with my first)
:D:D:D

[shockels]

i'm not really feeling anything either Belia. The only symptom is my lower back cramps that i always get before AF. Maybe we'll be lucky and symptom free all 8 months!

[Belia]

Thanks, everybody! It sounds like we're all over the place with our symptoms. I do feel better. Hopefully I'll feel even better after my first appt this week.

[xochimama]

Hi Belia, I'm not feeling much, either. Occasionally a "PMS" type twinge in the lower abdomen. In fact, I had to do a second HPT just to be SURE that I was pregnant :o .

Don't worry: it probably won't be long before you really feel pregnant!! :)

[11yrsNoKid]

I also have no symptoms. I am 6 weeks and nothing. Only tired all the time, which also isnt new, but maybe a little more than usual. I fall asleep all the time. Take naps during the day always. I to was worried that lac of symptoms was not good. Does anyone know for sure???

[crunchymomof2]

I'd say the best thing to do is relax and be open to whats happening and see what you can feel. I find that if I am open to it I feel alot. Last pregnancy I was aware of my son moving way before I could have physically felt it. I also felt lots of neat energy when this baby implanted.

Thanks for your concern! I've done quite a bit of research on the subject, though, and feel very comfortable with RRL throughout pregnancy. I'm working on my degree in holistic health, and have spent the past year studying herbology - also I've asked the opinion of my dr (who is a chiropractor, and uses herbs quite regularly) I let him know I was thinking about taking up to an ounce of RRL/day, and he said he didn't see a problem with that for me. He says he regularly uses RRL in the first trimester to deal with nausea. FWIW, I haven't noticed any spotting at all, or I'd probably cut back. It is my opinion that RRL is a tonic herb - that it doesn't seem to cause adverse effects in most people.

I've noticed that today is the first day that I've expereinced any nausea - and I haven't had my infusion in a few days... Could be a coincidence, but if there is anything I can do to avoid the intense nausea I had last time, I'll do it!

[sarah2881]

Nothing here, I just feel like my normal PMSing self. The only symptom I had with DD at this point was really sore boobs/chest, but not at all this time, maybe because I am nursing?

[erin_brycesmom]

Are you peeing more than usual? I think that can be easy symptom to overlook...it was for me, lol. I'm actually surprised how early I am showing symptoms this time around but with my last 2 pregnancies I did not show any symptoms until much later so I think it is still normal to not be feeling much at this point.

[MissWorld]

I have had pretty sore/achey boobs the last 3 days. But otherwise, not feeling a thing. I feel VERY pms-y and my cervix feels like it might be opening. :( I am so afraid this going to be a chemical.

Ah i see:) i just though because its used to tone and strengthen the uterus that it might not be safe or actually may be it because the one i had said not to use it before a certain stage if you had a previous c section so i just assumed you couldn't take it during the first trimester.
Hope the morning sickness keeps away im the other end i wish i had more so i could relax a little even if i feel crap i know im mad :)

Here's to vomitty feelings for you: :goodvibes: :sick


:lol

[Britishmama]

I have been throwing up, but today some light cramps which is scary. I read the more you feel it the better but don't know if is true

[GentleBirth]

I'm starting to have waves of nausea every now and then, but other than that I feel just about completely not pregnant. I'm also one that likes a few symptoms just to know that everything is okay. ;)

I can testify to the effect that you can have cramps and not be having problems but I know what you mean about being scared too. I've noticed with my pregnancies that I have had some cramping aroudn the time that I wouldh have had my period which I've been told is normal. As can a little bit of spotting at this point also.

I've been having quite a bit of discharge that always freaks me out because I"m afraid it's going to be blood and it turns out to be nothing. Every day that goes by that I'm still pregnant makes me breathe a little easier :D

Thanks! I hope it will pass, having a toddler stepping on me doesn't help I'm sure :o
