5 weeks pregnant & feel pregnant/symptoms more some days than others

I’m 5 weeks pregnant & 1 day I seem to have symptoms most of the day.

Back ache, sore & bigger boobs, bloated, tired, hungry & stretching pains & cramping in my stomach. Then the next day a few twinges & aches here & there but not as much.

I know it’s still early so plenty of time for all the other symptoms but can’t help but feel paranoid & constantly looking out for symptoms for reassurance.

We’ve got our viability scan on 7th June which feels like ages away.

Just wanted to hear others experiences please?

This is our first baby & is very much wanted so any helpful comments would welcome. Thank you!

I am in exactly the same situation - 5w1d today and similar symptoms too, tiredness, boobs bigger and sore, some mild cramping and back ache. All of which vary in intensity each day. I can't really offer any reassurance, but just wanted to say that I completely understand the worry. From what I've seen, it can be completely normal, so trying to hang onto that.

My scan is on 8 June, which seems such a long way away. Hang tight and stay positive! xxx

Thank you so much. It’s nice to hear it isn’t just me who has the feelings on & off. I thought I’d feel calm once I see a bfp 🙈

We are close in dates with our pregnancies too 🙂

Congratulations! Hope all goes well at your scan xxx

Don’t worry at all!! Everyone is different. My 2WW I had sore boobs, cramps, headaches and slight fluttering.

Then it disappeared to the occasional cramp and sore boobs nothing else,

I’m now 13 weeks + 3

Good luck for your scans ladies 🤞

Hi Congratulations! I am 6 weeks and 3 days. I had pretty much no symptoms after my bfp except for sore boobs and the occasional twinge. The at 5 weeks 4 days I started feeling nauseous. It is sometimes all day long and sometimes comes and goes. I have also been very tired. I have my scan on June 3rd. It seems like everyone is so different in regards to symptoms so stay positive. Good luck with your scan.
