Does everyone "Feel pregnant" already?

[Verysoon]

Just wonder what everyone was feeling?  I am feeling jipped that I don't have all the symptoms I'm reading from everyone else. I've heard the heartbeat so I'm ok; I just want to have more. Next appt is on Tuesday and I'll feel much better then. I'm 8wks today.

This is my 3rd time being pregnant this year.  I had a lot of symptoms with them and this time around I've had cramping and heartburn.  I'm taking it as a good sign and that this pregnancy is different so hopefully I'm all good.  Very jealous that most of you have heard the heartbeat and all that good stuff. I have my aultra sound on the 18th of this month mostly just to date as my periods are not regular and cause I was a big mess at the doctors office and I think she just wanted to easy my mind a little.  Soon enough I guess:)

Congrats!  That's so wonderful when the baby measures exactly how far along you are!!  And a great heartbeat!  Enjoy!!

[Verysoon]

Thank you all for your thoughts. I actually go so far in my head that I moved my u/s from Tuesday to today....lol I know, I know. But I saw the heartbeat again today and that made me feel much better! The baby is measuring at 8w2d (which is what I am!) and the hb was 173. So I am relaxing and just considering myself blessed now!

As far as doing any thing "special" nope not really. I am taking Metformin so I'm on a low carb diet and will be for another 4 weeks. But besides that...there is nothing else.

Again, thanks guys I promise to calm down now. :-)

Up until 8 weeks, the only pregnancy symptom I had with my dd was tender nipples.  I was so worried because I'd heard morning sickness was a sign the pregnancy was likely to last.  Finally at 8 weeks I threw up while walking the dogs and was ecstatic.  Now that I've learned more about symptoms, I will not be worried this time if I don't get nauseous!  I'm 6 weeks 2 days and have no m/s and hope I don't get it!  I know it's hard but try to relax and enjoy not feeling those awful symptoms:)

You & anyone else who does not have any symptoms are blessed as jenkaye21 questioned any special diet u are following??

This this my first pregnancy and I've had couple of scares along the way already with spotting and sever cramping and ended up in hospital last wk and was adviced that I had a miscarrige .. I kept on been persistant with wanting an u/s done till they decided to carry one out a day later and dr said it was a viable pregnancy.. I was over the moon....

For the last 2 wks I have been different foods to try and figure out which will settle well and not make me sick... I have noticed that I gag too when brushing me teeth LOL I thought there was something wrong with me ... lol  I feel exhausted already  with feeling constantly tired, sleepy and nauseous LOL and Im only 7 1/2 wks.. LOL

I had an u/s done yesterday and saw the heart beat =) it was amazing.. bubbas little arms buds are starting to form and legs =))

[camdynrae]

I worried about the same thing!  I'll be 8 weeks tomorrow and so far, I've felt nothing, except gagging when I brush my teeth or take meds.  I shared my fears with my midwife and she just laughed and said my next pregnancy would make up for it.  She didn't seem concerned at all, so I'm considering myself blessed for the time being :)

I want to know your secret for not having symptoms!  Do you eat or drink something special?  :-)  I am sure you're just blessed, but if you have any tips, pass them along!  lol

I second what everyone has said!  My first pregnancy I had absolutely no symptoms except having a hard time brushing my teeth believe it or not... (made me gag), and I too felt gypped!  The next pregnancy I was so nauseated until I lost that baby - It was radically different.  The next two pregnancies (weren't long enough for me to have symptoms) and here I am again without any symptoms but as I say this, the last three mornings I have felt a bit queasy... so just like vacuumprincess said - "be careful what you wish for"  LOL!  

But don't worry - even if you don't have the traditional symptoms like morning sickness or sore boobs, other symptoms will surely creep up sooner then later!

This is my 8th pregnancy and I had no symptoms at all with the first 6 (and I had 4 succesful births).  My last pregnancy I had all the symptoms and same this time round but luckily not to the point that I'm throwing up. :)

[jenkaye21]

This is my 7th pregnancy and I NEVER have had symptoms.  I know, it makes it feel like you're "not really pregnant".  Can't wait to start showing = proof i'm actually pregnant!

[vacuumprincess]

ugh!  I WAS feeling that way about 1.5 weeks ago!  The last week I have been so nauseous & it's just getting worse!    I gag CONSTANTLY & actually throw up about half of those times.  I can't trust what its going to be, so I just run to the bathroom.

careful what you wish for.  I was feeling worried that I had no symptoms too.... until now.

glad you heard that heartbeat.  isn't it wonderful???

[angela418]

I posted to your comment in our other June forum, but it's OK that you don't have many symptoms yet.  Just compare my two pregnancy trackers and see how different they are already.  The last one was a cake walk compared to this one and I am only 8 1/2 weeks with this one!  LOL  Some women never have morning sickness and those are the women that the rest of us hate...JUST KIDDING!  But seriously, each pregnancy for each woman is different so don't stress too much over a lack of symptoms.  :-)  Best wishes to you and your baby bean!
