Hi,

Congratulations on your pregnancy! You are not the first person on this forum to be concerned about lack of symptoms - I was symptom free during my first pregnancy and found it quite worrying too. I went on to have a very healthy son so can prove that you don't need to be running to the bathroom every 2 minutes to have a perfectly fine baby. I'm now 13 weeks in to my second and haven't been so lucky with lack of symptoms!!

If you have had 3 positives you are definitely pregnant. I know it's so hard to do after such a horrible experience but try your best to take a deep breath and relax - remember that for every day your are pregnant your chances of miscarriage decrease a little. Take care and keep focusing on seeing your little bean in a few weeks x

Hi,

Thank you so much. The only feeling i have are sore breasts. Other than that i am fine.

I am doing lots of things to take my mind off worrying swimming, mild exercise, walking and baking. Also enjoying a warm bubble bath with some lovely smelling candles. Relax while i can. Thank you for the comment. x

morning sickness can start from around 6 weeks if u get away with it then ur sooooo lucky!!! it's actually quite depressing feeling so crap all the time !

Hya hun I know exactly how u r feeling the best thing u can do is try and chill and try not to stress urself out over it. I misscarried in october and am now pregnant again I had my midwife appointment yesterday and she booked me in for a emegency scan as I wasnt sure how far I was with me having no regular periods with my pcos! anyway I have worried myself sick over misscarrying since the day I found out I was pregnant so as I went for my scan today it was sure the longest wait of my life waiting for them to say yes there is a heart beat.. and there was :) im 5 wk 5 days and now wished I hadnt sat and worried and stressed myself out over it so much. A misscarrage happens when something is not meant to be most women misscarry on there 1st pregnancy so keep those positive though it will be fine good luck and congrats :)))

Yep, hang in there! I am now nearly 29 weeks pregnant, and I too have had a relatively symptom-free pregnancy. I had sore breasts and felt quite bloated and uncomfortable for much of my first trimester, but had no sickness as such. Remember that you can always pay to have an additional scan done privately earlier than 12 weeks (any time between 6-10 weeks) if the wait is killing you. Although I didn't end up having one, this place was recommended to me, and it's not as expensive as you might expect:
