advice on symptoms

I have just found out that i am 5 weeks pregnant after 8 months of TTC. As you can imagine it feels somewhat sureal and although i have had it confirmed by a blood test, I am concerned as the only symptom i have is a feeling of fullness and slight cramping like before a period. Can anyone relate to this, should i be worried? When did you begin to get tender breasts?

We are such worrier's arnt we. You are completely normal. I always worried with mine because I hardly ever got any symptoms. I was like you, just felt a little bloated but that was it...my boobs never really got sore and I never had any MS.

Just count yourself as one of the lucky ones, because I certainly do.

Howdy!
I was the same. I didn't start getting symptoms until about 6 weeks so maybe they are just around the corner lol, I hope they aren't though! Esp MS!

Around 5 weeks I was having cramps just like you! I didn't get sore boobies, not for a while actually. I remember I was reading forums and things about symptoms and so obsessed about it because I didn't have them like everyone else! Lol! So crazy eh!? The only symptom I had at first was my 'flaps' down there were a little swollen! Sorry if TMI! Lol!

I'm so excited you are preggers after 8 months of TTC, woo hoo!

Congratulations and how exciting that you don't have any symptons.

I didn't either with my first except that I was really really tired but didn't realise why until I took a hpt. I thought it was because I was over worked, I was away on my 10 days holiday and destress time on my own and all I wanted to do was sleep. I had just finished a stint of 21 days straight of 18 to 20 hr days so put my tiredness to that until I missed my af and realised the truth

I had the perfect pregnancy, no ms, no aches or anything until the last 2 months when I has getting very heavy and even fatter lol. It wasn't until I had an ultra sound that it all sunk in.

My 2nd pregnancy was different, I had really really sore boobs, lots of aches etc and thought it was because my body wasn't as fit as it was the first time.

I am pregnant again

and only feeling tired and a fullness of the boobs infact it seems almost like my 1st pregnacy.

So enjoy its great not having symptons and being able to carry on with life pretty much as normal.

I missed out on all the pregnancy symptoms. I had a about 2 weeks of back pain when I was about 3 weeks pregnant and thats it. No morning sickness, no swollen sore boobs, no cravings, no tiredness. Maybe you will just be lucky like me.

Thanks so much for your feedback girls....i feel so much more at ease. Its amazing what shared experience does for anxiety levels.
I will count myself as one of the lucky ones now!
