Do I need to notice anything?

Hi!

I'm just over 6 weeks pregnant now, and apart from two positive tests, I don't feel pregnant at all. I'm not nauseous, and my breasts aren't sore or anything. Miscarriages run in my family, especially early ones, so I'm really scared this might happen to me too. I really don't want to have a miscarriage, but of course, you can't control that. On the other hand, I don't have any pain or bleeding either.

Is it normal to feel nothing at 6 weeks?

Thanks in advance, Joyce

    Yeah, I only got my first symptoms at 7 weeks too, and I wasn’t nauseous at all during my first one. Enjoy it, and not feeling anything doesn’t mean you’re not pregnant!

    Here’s another person who is 6 weeks and 3 days pregnant now and still doesn’t have any symptoms. Only got 2 positive tests either, and I’m a bit worried about that too, but hopefully, we’ll know more on Tuesday... that’s when we have our first appointment with the midwife. Have you made an appointment already? Or have you been to the GP?
    Greetings, Fem

    I only started feeling nauseous from strong smells around week 7, but nothing more than that. And at first, I also found it weird to realize I was pregnant because, indeed, I felt nothing.
    Stay positive.

    Hi! With my first pregnancy, I didn’t have any symptoms at all, not even once during the whole pregnancy ) I even worked until 8 months until my boss told me I had to stay home. But now, things are different—I’ve had all the symptoms you can think of ( Thinking positively at 6 weeks is definitely normal, and every pregnancy is different, you know ;o)

    Be happy, the longer you're pregnant, the more complaints you might get. Don't worry, it'll all work out fine. Enjoy yourself, girl!

    I also don't really have any issues. I'm now 7 weeks pregnant with our first baby.. I am extremely tired and have a bit of a pressing, period-like feeling in my lower belly, but that varies from one time to the next. I took 2 tests and both were positive.
    On November 8th I have my first ultrasound with the midwife, but waiting feels really long right now.
    Wishing everyone lots of success and don't forget to enjoy!!!

    That’s also because pregnant women are all treated the same way!
    I used to get irritated by the automatic assumption that you:
    feel nauseous, throw up, are grumpy, have no interest in sex, eat pickles... Blah blah blah..
    And when I said: "Well, I really don’t have any issues at all.."
    Then it would go: "Oh wait, you’ll get those soon enough!"

    You definitely don’t need to feel less pregnant. I was actually happy to prove the opposite of what others often assume!
    Enjoy it!!!
