Don't feel pregnant

Hi all, I'm only 5 weeks so we aren't telling any friends or family yet. I have my GP appointment booked for Monday but it feels weird as I don't feel any different. Don't get me wrong I'm not looking forward to morning sickness but having no symptoms just feels a bit odd.

Hi there, congratulations on your pregnancy. It is early days for you. It is normal and you could be in the lucky few who gets it easy. Enjoy your self now as things do change pretty quickly in pregnancy terms. In the next few weeks as the hormones kick in you may feel very different from now.

I wouldn't worry. I didn't have any symptoms with my first pregnancy either and went on to have a healthy baby girl. Be grateful you aren't feeling unwell! Hope it all goes well.

Symptoms like morning sickness don't usually come on until about six weeks. I didn't feel anything at week five! Don't panic!

Hi there, don't panic! I didn't have any pregnancy symptoms with my son and I had an amazing pregnancy. This time round I had constant nausea from about week 6 to 10 - not pleasant!!!!!!! Try to relax xx

I felt completely normal until week 6 then everything changed! Don't worry, if you get the tiredness and nausea like I did you'll be dreaming about feeling normal again 😉! X

Hi congratulations!!

I'm 5 weeks pregnant as well and I know exactly what you mean.

My only symptom was a missed period yet so many people on these forums have a list as long as your arm!! Since I found out this week I have been tired, having cramps, constipated and having discharge. The sort of things anyone gets!

With my last pregnancy I had sore boobs the week before bfp.

It was about 6-8 weeks when other symptoms kicked in.

Try to relax x

For me it was around 7-8 weeks when the tiredness and nausea kicked in. Then after about 12 weeks all that disappeared. Every pregnancy is different, enjoy your time without symptoms!

Hello Katie! Congrats!! I`m 5 weeks 5days today and my only "proof" that Im pregnant is the stick I peed on on Monday :) no sign, no symptom whatsoever...and I didn`t even want to believe it can be true as I had PMS symptoms the week before so I was convinced that Im just late or maybe have some other gynecological problem... The only think that changed so far is a mild increase in body temperature which is now a steady 36.9 degrees. Doctors appointment is scheduled for next week, hope everything will be confirmed and the test was actually valid :D

Congratulations Katie !

I was 4 months pregnant (at aged 35) before I felt any different - no morning sickness at all - no breast indicators - and even had a slight show at what would have been time for each monthly period, and had always been irregular. I was on my last knockings for first time motherhood , classed charmingly as "elderly primigravida" and I had even wondered about menopausal symptoms.

Had been horseriding up to 4 and a half months until pregnancy confirmed and played gentle tennis up till the day before baby was born (3 weeks early).

Think you are wise to wait before announcing the good news , but enjoy every minute as the weeks fly by. xxx

I didn't find out until 10 weeks pregnant. Wouldn't have known had I of not tested. I think we all expect to feel completely different but for alot of us its not. X

Hi, congratulation on your pregnancy. I understand how you are feeling. I am 16 weeks pregnant and other than sickness and a bit sore I don't feel pregnant. After the scan you do start to feel a bit more pregnant but I still don't really believe it.

Finger crossed you don't get morning sickness. Just enjoy it and sleep as much as you can 😀
