Early Pregnancy — How do you feel ?

Question

Had a chemical oregnancy five months ago and I'm pregnant again and just about 5 weeks along.

Because of what happened last time, I'm hiding about my pregnancy from everyone (except for my husband). So, I have no where else to ask.

I just want to know how does early pregnancy feels or should feels like ? I know that everyone is different but there must be some general symptoms right ?

So far, I don't feel any symptoms. Just like when I had chemical pregnancy.

The only difference is, my pregnancy test came out really dark within just a few seconds this time. Unlike before, the line was faint although I was almost 6 weeks at that time.

I'm just worried and scared.

I don't know how healthy pregnancy feels like. Because most of my friends would have morning sickness, loss of appetite etc.

I'm 5 weeks 1 day today.

Is it still early to have any symptoms ?

I know it's a long post. Sorry ☀️

Congratulations on your rainbow baby! I'm not sure what early pregnancy should feel like for everyone, but for me for the first couple weeks it has been very calm and I was worrying about the lack of symptoms since this is my fourth pregnancy and first baby after three angels. With my first baby, which we los at 13 weeks, I got the nausea and vomiting symptoms at 6 weeks, but with this one at 8 weeks. I know a girl who is a few days behind me, and she hasn't felt any nausea. Can you get to a doctor and check that your HCG is doubling? After that, there is very little to be done in early pregnancy except take your vitamins and try to rest as much as you can. I had a terrifying 12 days of spotting with this pregnancy, thankfully our first ultrasound revealed that it was a bit of an implantation bleed. Good thoughts and well-wishes for all of our precious babies and rainbow babies!

Congratulations on your rainbow. I am also currently pregnant with with my rainbow baby (38 weeks). This is my fifth pregnancy and third baby. My symptoms didn't really kick in until 7-8 weeks with all of them and I didn't really get many. I have never thrown up in any of my pregnancies. I have felt queasy in them until about 12 weeks. For me my main symptoms were extreme tiredness and my boobs were a little tender. I worried until I got past my points of the last losses which was 5 weeks with my last loss and 20 weeks with the one before that before I breathed a little easier. You still worry more because you know that loss, take it a day at a time and try not to worry so much. The fact your line was nice and dark this time is a good indication of good hormone levels. Wishing you a happy healthy 9 months.

My boobs were really hard and sore at 5 weeks, I felt really hot but no fevers, at times my back would have a dull ache, the doctors also thought I had fall stones turns out I was pregnant. At about 7 weeks the nausea kicked in but no morning sickness other than that I had no other symptoms and it stayed that way I had heaps of energy and still do and I am now 35weeks. All the best with your early pregnancy I hope this one goes well

Hello, I'm almost 8 weeks pregnant. We got our positive when I was about 3.5 weeks, my pregnancy has been going by so slow, but it's been a month already since we found out and I guess that's pretty good.
I've had a miserable pregnancy, this is my first pregnancy. We got pregnant through IVF. My symptoms of fatigue, regular nausea, sore boobs and nipples, food adversions started around the time I found that out. No joke, exactly at 6 weeks, I got punched in the face with the worst nausea and vomiting! I couldn't eat or drink at all. I have hyperemesis, and now on unisom and b6 for control. Hate it. 😩
