No symptoms

[Sarahlou]

Hello to all, I know you have all probably heard this so many times or maybe have felt the same during your own pregnancy at the early stages but I just am not feeling anything I am 8 weeks, I thought I was getting tired last week but now it has gone.
Is anyone else feeling the same or maybe had no symptoms at this stage of your pregnancy?

Have you had your pregnancy confirmed by a doctor yet?

i WISH I was feeling that good at 8 weeks. I was praying to the porcelian gods on an hourly basis....at least. I know of several women who are pregnant and don't get any of the symptoms. Have you seen a doctor yet?

 

[Sarahlou]

yes I have been to the doctor but she didnt confirm anything as I have done three hpt and all positive. I see the midwife in 2 weeks.
They dont confirm it if you have done 2 tests.

I didn't know that. I assumed that if you went to the doctor they always did a blood test.

The midwife does the blood test which will be in a couple of weeks

Yeah the only reason my doctor did a blood test was because I asked her to. That was my family doctor, my OB never did one.

I can relate. I really didn't have any typical pregnancy symptoms when I was 8 weeks pregnant. If you've had several positive pregnancy tests I wouldn't worry, I'm sure you're fine. You're just one of the lucky ones . Through out my whole pregnancy I've hardly had any typical symptoms other than aches and pains here and there. Up until the third trimester it's been quite easy for me.

If you are at eight weeks and don't feel like you have the flu all day......REJOICE!!! For you are truly blessed among women

Well I thought I would update you on how I am feeling as I only was just saying the other day I had no symptoms.
I woke up yesterday morning and was sick for the first time and now I feel run down with a blocked nose, sore throat and dry mouth.

Well, your immune system can be overstressed during early pregnancy and make you vulnerable to sore throats and colds. Not a sign of pregnancy per se, but it could mean something's going on.

My doctor told me that your mucouse membranes go NUTS when you are pregnant and you are constantly stopped up and blocked up and nasal....and yucky. I have been that way my ENTIRE pregnancy. She told me to take mucinex to break some of that blockage up and gave me a nasal spray. Just about every book I have read though, says that stuffiness and such are a perk of pregnancy.
