Opposite of Everyone else-still no 'real' symptoms!

I'm 9 weeks PG and still don't have any 'real' symptoms. I already had a sonogram and saw the baby and the hearbeat...all was normal.

BUT other than a few pimples I don't feel AT ALL different! No queasiness, not too tired (I always feel tired anyway), NADA!!! Some people told me I'm lucky, but instead it makes me a little nervous.

Did anyone else have LACK of symptoms and still have a healthy pregnancy? TIA!

Well, I'm relieved to read your post and to hear that all is well! I am slightly over 7 weeks now and my symptoms seem to be minor--breasts are somewhat tender, mild queasiness sometimes, (but I did notice a big increase in my appetite,) and like you, I'm always tired anyway. I won't see my doctor for the first time until Monday--the waiting is torture! Needless to say, I'm looking forward to the responses on this one.

Re: Opposite of Everyone else-still no 'real' symptoms!

I am almost 9 weeks pregnant too!
and I dont feel I have too many symptoms,
have not been sick at all!!

I am tired though,
and feel if I dont eat small meals thru out the day I dont feel that good,
but this is only some days,
and since I know I should be eating I usually am so doesnt effect me,

I know its kinda of nerve racking the lack of symptoms,
this weekend, I had alot more energy then usually, so of course it worried me.

but try not to worry,
my sister thru both her pregnancy with pretty symptom less is the beginning and has a beautiful healthy little boy,
and then next is due in April.

best of luck!!!

Re: Opposite of Everyone else-still no 'real' symptoms!

I didn't have any morning sickness. I never threw up or had any food aversions. I did get queasy a few times when I took the bus home from work. The doctor said it was probably the jerking and the different smells. Like everyone says enjoy the fact that you are not personal friends with the porcelain god.

When I was 11 weeks I rented a doppler from baby beats. It really made me feel better to hear his heartbeat when I needed reassuring. Now, I can feel him kicking so I don't use it that much.

Re: Opposite of Everyone else-still no 'real' symptoms!

I have no idea where I am delivering,
is that bad!!
I assume probably South Shore or Franklin,
the reason I know this is bc my friends have delivered at both with my Dr.

I was seeing a specialist at North Shore,
but after he did a sonogram I am done there.

Where are you delivering????

Re: Opposite of Everyone else-still no 'real' symptoms!

StepherG you are so lucky. I am so sick that my doctor is looking into putting me on something for morning sickness. I am always tired and i feel like all i do is sleep or get sick. I hope the next trimester will be easier then this one because i would love to feel like myself again. Glad to hear you are doing as well as you are. Keep it up.

Re: Opposite of Everyone else-still no 'real' symptoms!

I am just about 8 weeks and get nervous too b/c lack of symptoms. I had my first sonogram yesterday and we saw and HEARD the heartbeat. It made me feel so much better.

I'm not tired. I sometimes feel queasy but haven't actually gotten sick yet. Instead I am always SOOOOOOOOOOOOO hungry..... I mean STARVING! and my boobs still hurt a lot.

Besides that, not much.

Let's all try not to worry too much and be there for each other through this scary time

Re: Opposite of Everyone else-still no 'real' symptoms!

Thanks everyone for listening! I'm glad to know I'm not the only one...

I hope those of you that are sick feel better soon!

Re: Opposite of Everyone else-still no 'real' symptoms!

Not much here either.
Definitely no morning sickness. I am a little bit more tired but not exhausted and sometimes I have breast tenderness but nothing unbearable like I have heard.

I am only 5 weeks so everyone keeps telling me to wait until week 6 but I don't feel like anything is coming on.

I have to wait until 11 weeks to hear the heartbeat so i can't help but be nervous sometimes.

You are sooo lucky, but definitely knock on wood!!!!!!!!!!
I said the same thing in the beginning and then it hit me like a brick wall!!!!!
Some people dont EVER get MS!! Hopefully you are one of the lucky ones!

Re: Opposite of Everyone else-still no 'real' symptoms!

I never had any MS or any major symptoms. My pregnancy was extremely uneventful...which I was very thankful for. SO don't worry, all is fine...just enjoy being pregnant and not having to deal with some of the bad things that can accompany it.

Re: Opposite of Everyone else-still no 'real' symptoms!

Can I just say you guys are so lucky and I am so jealous. I am in week 7 or 8 (baby is measuring 8) and I am nauseous all day long. It is super bad at night and I throw up a lot. I have severe food aversions. Can only eat breakfast foods- cereal, eggs, yogurt. I can't think about ANY other foods or I get ill. Sometimes I eat seperately from DH because the foods he is eating is making me sick, so I eat in my room alone. I am quieter with my friends on the phone and in person because I spend all day trying to hold in food so I am talking a lot less. It is really quite difficult. I feel like I have it worse than other though. Maybe it is a bad sign....

I also have bad indigestion. Adds to the neausea.

Speak with your doc if it gets unbearable and lasts longer than usual, they have a medication that they can prescribe for you that is given to cehmo patients to help with nausea, it is a very low dose and it is safe for pregnancy, iI'll get the name for you if you'd like, or maybe someone else knows what i'm talking about?!

When my brother was undergoing chemo he took Compazine, but I have heard of pregnant ladies with bad MS being prescribed Zofran.

Re: Opposite of Everyone else-still no 'real' symptoms!

Thank you both so much. I am calling my dr on Monday. I think Zofran or Kytril might help-antiemetics right? I actually cried today because my husband cooked steak for himself and it took hours to get the smell out of the house. I was walking around with a towel pressed to my face.
