1st trimester
Decreasing symptoms?
Eline88
Hi everyone,
I found out a week ago that I'm pregnant for the 2nd time (today 5 weeks and 2 days). So happy, of course!
My first pregnancy was 6 years ago, so it all feels new again. Now, the positive test was really a surprise because I didn't have any symptoms that I thought might mean I was pregnant. I did have that dull menstrual pain in my belly and the dull pain in my lower back, which I always get before my period. I still have this in waves, especially at the end of the day. What I'm a bit worried about now is that a few days after the test, my breasts were very sensitive (it wasn't pleasant if I touched them), tight, and much bigger. This suddenly decreased yesterday. They are still a bit sensitive, but not tight anymore and feel soft instead. 
Also, I was very tired before my period and for a few days after. This has also decreased a lot. Does this sound familiar to others? When I search online, it often says that these signs can last until the end of the pregnancy.
Also, I do have aversions and cravings for certain foods.
Greetings!

Oh yeah, my first appointment with the midwife isn't until July 5th. It feels like it's taking forever!! -

Eline, that doesn't mean anything if the symptoms decrease.. every pregnancy is different..
I haven't had any issues so far, no sore breasts, no fatigue.. no nausea.. if it wasn't for the positive test, I wouldn't have believed it..
But I've experienced this before without any symptoms..
I have my ultrasound a day before you do.. I'm curious too -

Hi Eline88,
It doesn't have to mean anything, indeed. I'm 12 weeks pregnant now and I've had symptoms in waves. My breasts are sometimes not sensitive for a few days and then suddenly they are again. At my due date ultrasound, I told the midwife this too, and she literally said: everyone is different and just be happy, so you can enjoy it more!
Coincidentally, I have the next ultrasound on 5-7. Good luck in advance!
