I'm 16 weeks pregnant and still have no symptoms except fatigue. I'm starting to wonder if the baby is ok

Question

Have any of you had few or no symptoms, and did you have a healthy baby? Was it a boy or girl?

Answer 1

If you've been to your OB/GYN and they say that the pregnancy is progressing normally, then you're one of the lucky gals who has an 'easy' pregnancy... However, since I'm not qualified to make that assessment over the Internet, you probably would benefit greatlly from seeing someone who could. Good luck!

Answer 2

When I was pregnant, I didn't feel pregnant at all for the first 6 months. I was thin and people couldn't believe I was even pregnant. I didn't show until around my 7th month. It was like I woke up one day and there was the belly! I had no symptoms, except when I waited on long lines I would get dizzy and even fainted once. I was 20 years old when I had my daughter. (born very healthy!) I always ate a healthy diet so maybe this was why I didn't have too many complications. I am sure this is normal for 16 weeks, but of course if you have any doubts at all, see your doctor.

Answer 3

Be very, very happy and grateful that you have no symptoms! I am 36 weeks pregnant and I am expecting a little girl. I had a hell of a rocky start, I had morning sickness (Which doesn't happen only in the morning you know!) I was constantly spewing up, feeling tired and nauseous all of the time...I felt really unwell!
It is normal not to show any symptoms of pregnancy by 16 weeks and your pregnancy is most probably going well, if you are really worried about it then see your doctor or midwife!

Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy and all the best for the future! xxxx

Answer 4

At 16-18 weeks you should begin to feel your baby moving around in there. A lot of women can go their entire pregnancy with none of the "typical" symptoms. I have 3 children, and only one pregnancy with symptoms. The other two pregnancies were great, I actually felt better than I did before becoming pregnant!
Just be sure to keep regular prenatal appointments - go to EVERY one! If you are still concerned, ask your OB/GYN . Hope this helps. Congrats!!

Answer 5

fatigue is very normal in the first 2-3 months. I had no morning sickness with either child (both boys). They both turned out to be perfectly healthy and are now 13 and 8. Be sure to get the prenatal care for both you and baby. An ultrasound will allow you to not only see your baby but also hear the heartbeat. Motherhood is a wonderful thing. Take care of yourself and baby!

Answer 6

With my second child, I had absolutely NO symptoms of being pregnant. As a matter of fact, after missing my period that first month took a pregnancy test and it was negative, so after not having a period for almost 4 months made an appointment with the doctor to get something to help start my period. Making a long story short . . . found that I wasn't having a period because I was in fact pregnant and almost 20 weeks along. SURPRISE!!!

Anyways, the rest of my pregnancy sat in the OB/GYN office week after week, and heard other women's stories about feeling little symptoms with being pregnant. One women didn't even know she was pregnant until she felt the baby moving.

Anyways, I am just trying to say that I am almost certain that you and your baby are fine, but if you are that concerned make an appointment with the doctor instead of making yourself crazy.

What pregnancy is this for you?

Answer 7

lol. You need to chill out. Not everyone has pregnancy symptoms. Youre a lucky duck. I felt great except for three weeks during my pregnancy so far. Right now iam going on 20 weeks and i feel absolutely normal, except i have a ten pound bubble on my stomach (or so it feels).

That baby is fine, you're fine. Jsut stay active and healthy and eat well. At some point the baby will begin to tax your body and you'll be heavier and sore and hungry, but you may never feel sick or painful. And thats just fine. :)

Answer 8

You don't have to be sick as a dog to have a healthy pregnancy! Fatigue is normal, as is having morning sickness or NOT having morning sickness. I didn't have a bit of it with my son, but I had nausea with my daughters until about 14 weeks. All of them were healthy, as was I (and we all still are). As long as you take good care of yourself during pregnancy, your baby should be fine also. You'll probably start to notice movement in the next couple of weeks, too. That can add some reassurance.

Answer 9

I never, ever had morning sickness. All I had with both pregnancies was fatigue, and my boys were just fine (and they're not even boys anymore: they're young men, aged 20 and 22!)
I assume you're going to an obstetrician, and I'm sure he/she would tell you if there were a problem. But, it's normal to worry about everything when you're pregnant. Enjoy that you feel so great--I know I did!

Answer 10

I have 1 of each, a boy and a girl and the symptoms go away most times they are both very healthy, they're 12 and 8 now!!

Answer 11

Fatigue is perfectly normal at your stage of pregnancy, I was the same as you, I wouldn't be worried in the slightest, you should feel lucky that you're not feeling nauseous all the time! If you've had your second scan, the midwife will be able to tell you if all is well with baby as baby will be measured in every angle possible to ensure its growing as it should. You can always ask your midwife anything at all when you have your appointments, make the most of those and inundate them with all your fears, you'll feel sooo much better
