Q: Pregnancy symptoms , or lack of.

Hi everyone. I'm currently around 5-6 weeks pregnant with my 6th baby (8th pregnancy) at the moment I have no real symptoms apart from my tummy is bloated, I have one sore nipple lol, and the odd period type niggle. With my 5 other children I suffered terribly with 24 hour sickness but I've not got any of that this time yet.. I suffered a miscarriage in 2009 and one in this past November so I'm extremely paranoid. My 1st 5 children were with my ex husband, but this baby is with my new partner, could that have something to do with me feeling different in this pregnancy?
Thanks
Karina

I had almost ZERO symptoms until about 9 weeks and I was panicking that I was going to lose this baby, because I had a miscarriage in July. But right around 9 weeks all the symptoms came flooding in, morning sickness being the worst of them! So don't worry, they will come. And if not, you're lucky! My morning sickness has been completely crippling.

it could, but also remember your body has dealt with the onslaught of pregnancy hormones and changes several times before. so this time around, your body may be pulling a sort of "been there, done that, no big deal" attitude lol. thats the best way i can explain it. your body has done it before, so it doesnt react so badly to the changes.

I can offer this-when I went to the ER for my high blood pressure, while I was waiting for the results for my urine test for protein, the doctor asked me if I had ever had pre-eclampsia with my previous pregnancies. He then asked me if the father of this child was the father of my other children, because if not, it can effect whether or not I would get pre-eclampsia this time if I hadn't had it in the past. I hope that's not as confusing as I think it might have come out! So I was told that different baby daddys can effect whether pre-eclampsia shows up in certain pregnancies, and I would assume based off of that information that it can have at least a small effect on other aspects of pregnancy too.

I've had 6 pregnancy 1 child and the second on the way 28w. My first I had nothing no symptoms no sickness zip. This time so naeaous from 6-14 weeks. Often nothing sets in until after that 6 week mark. But maybe you are going to be lucky and have nothing. As you know every pregnancy is so different. Try not to worry. Congrats and best of luck :-)
