Q: Symptoms...

I will be entering my 5th week on thursday but I am concerned because my symptoms arent very strong. They havent deminished at all, they are getting stronger every day but just by a tiny bit but I remember them being stronger in the pregnancies that I have lost. My friend just told me that the stronger your symptoms, the less chance of miscarriage... I am scared I am up for another disappointment. My breasts are sore and get more so every day, I have the cramping and the back ache when sitting at my desk for long periods of time, frequent urination, VIVID dreams to where I swear I'm surprised I woke up in my bed lol, appetite decrease, fatigue and waves of nausea that last for seconds. I am just worried that my symptoms arent strong enough.

Any thoughts? I go see my OBGYN tomorrow (wednesday 12/21) but I am REALLY trying to not freak out till then... Plus last time, my OBGYN gave me false hope (im guessing bc he didnt want to hurt my feelings)...

Thanks for all the support lasies!! I feel much better hearing your words of encouragement. Since I have posted this, I regret wishing my symptoms were stronger bc I feel like someone sliced off my nipples with a razor balde...OUCH!! and I have been REALLY feeling the symptoms, back ache etc.... Nausea kicked in this morning but hasnt gotten really bad yet. I guess I was just freaking out. I go back to the doctor tomorrow for my second HCG test to make sure my levels are doubling. I will keep yall posted!! :)

My sympoms have settled down since last week. I had horrid nausea and was vomitting all last week, but now my nipples feel like they are on fire and just brushing them with my shirt hurts, my bbs are huge and I'm constantly tired. We lost one of our little beans, but the other has such a strong heartbeat that the doctor is happy and told us not to worry if I don't get too many 'bad' sympoms.

I didn't have many symptoms at 4/5 weeks but by 6 weeks and some days it started full force. I am 7+3 now and the nausea is insane. I'm ready for it to be over and it's only just begun. lol. big hugs. Don't stress.

I am almost six weeks myself and my symptoms aren't very strong either. With my previous pregnancies it does seem like things were more noticable sooner. Kinda dissapointing right? lol But don't worry. It is different each time and everything will be fine.

Try not to let yourself worry (believe me, I know, that's so much easier said than done)! My symptoms were pretty mild at first, and I was also worried about it due to a previous mc. And then they hit me like a ton of bricks at exactly 6 weeks. That's when the bad nausea started, and I started to really feel the soreness and sensitivity in my boobs.

Sending positive vibes your way, best of luck to you!!
