I always turn to this forum for support , i am 5 weeks 2 days now and i dont have symptoms other than a few cramps and a little more tired but no nausea or all symptoms other women have . I am starting to worry but i am also taking prednisone which a friend of mine told me it masks pregnancy symptoms since its a steroid .
What do u ladies think and do u have any experiences ? Have u had any symptoms at 5 weeks or im just worried for nothing

Hey- everyone is different but I did not get symptons until week 7. Then I had nausea and felt awful for 4 weeks solid before it started to ease off a bit. Some people get lots of symptons but other people get none. My sister never had any nausea in either of her pregnancies and had two perfectly healthy babies. It really is so individual but I totally get the worry. I was worried until week 7 and then I was happy I finally felt gross. Good luck! xx
Hi lovely, I've heard lots of people on prednisone say that they haven't had many symptoms - you're absolutely right that they can mask them - don't worry! x
Hello! Congratulations on your pregnancy, wonderful news. 5 weeks is so early, usually women feel few symptoms at that point, if any. It’s so difficult not to worry, you get this far and think the hardest part is over but really it’s all part of the battle. Take it day by day.
With my first I was sick twice and both times were after 10 weeks, I didn’t get tired until the last trimester either. All women are different and some have terrible morning sickness, others nothing.
I'm 6+3 and I had the occasional cramp at week 5, not anything since. I feel tired all the time, and that's probably the main symptom I have at the moment.
Yesterday was the first day I felt quesy but I wasn't physically sick and feel fine today.
Everyone is different so try not to worry! How long before your scan? Mines next Tuesday and I'm counting down the days!!
Hey there congratulations hope you have a peaceful pregnancy and delivery❤️ I have cramps on and off and sometimes feel tired not all the time but again i am counting my lack of symptoms to prednisone . My first scan is on 27 may and trust me it feels like a year until then😅
Hi hun! I totally understand you! I am 10 weeks now, and honestly throughout my pregnancy other than nausea, a bit of back pain and some cramps here and there Iv had no symptoms at all. I know it super worrying but as long as your scans come out fine it’s all good, and honestly just try your best to enjoy this time and be happy that your seeing this time. I think the feeling of thankfulness is what gets me through days I worry if the baby is fine. Remember everyone’s pregnancies are different, my eldest sister was sick all the time my second sister had mild sickness and Iv had none. Good luck with the pregnancy!! ❤️
Exactly i always remind myself even after 4 years and 3 tries and a LOT of tears i am still lucky to reach this far and pray pray pray .. praying is so powerful it’s what got me through hard times before
I am five weeks and six days today, I’m tired and have sore boobs and I’m a little bit bloated. I hate worrying that I don’t feel sick. It’s very strange because we spend all this time waiting to get pregnant and then all the time worrying that we haven’t got all of the classic symptoms that we think we should have. my scan is not for another nine days and it feels like an eternity. I hope all goes well with you!
Congrats 💕💕you are 2 days ahead of me ! I know right ? It’s so emotional when we finally get there we get so afraid that something might happen .. nine days are very soon mine is in 15 days and it feels like a year .. good luck and hope your scan goes great
