6 weeks along, is this normal? any info is helpful. Thanks?

Question

I was just wondering, im 6 weeks well a little over 6 weeks,( have had + at home test and blood test from dr.) and i do not feel pregnant, I dont have morning, noon or night sickness, once in a while when i get up at 5am to see my hubby off to work i feel a little sick but i think its because i dont have any food in my stomache. anyways i dont seem to have frequent urination, no cravings, no breat tenderness ( had for about 2 weeks then went away) The only thing i do have is mood swings and i seem to be more tired in the evenings. Is this normal does everyone get those symptoms? or lack there of or will they come later. Not that im complaining about not being sick by any means! I just expected to. any information from women going through pregnacy or that have already went though this is apreciated. Thank you.

Also we are very excited about the pregnancy!!

Answer 1

Its normal. I didn't have any symptoms until 10 weeks with both of my pregnancies. Every woman is different.

Congrats on the baby!!

Answer 2

Sounds normal to me!

Cravings probably come much later. That was more like late second trimester for me.

With my first, I had no morning sickness at any time of day. I was one of the lucky ones! I hope you are, too!

I did have some breast tenderness when I'd wake up some mornings, but it went away early on.

For the frequent urination it may have been 7 or 8 weeks for me.

I was definitely wiped out in the evenings from early on, 5-6 weeks.

Hey sweetheart, I will tell you I have had three and no pregnancey is a like... I swore I would never give a pregnant women advice but LISTEN to this and nothing else... I would not ask questions in this type of forum because you are emotional and you will get a million different opinions, and some from people who don't know a thing about being pregnant. I would suggest that if you have any concern regarding your pregnancy you speak with only your OBGYN and then if you want to research go by the book "What to Expect when you are Expecting.." or look up ivillage where it is geared to women.... I wish you the best and try to enjoy being pregnant and not worry about everything in the world

Not all women develop morning sickness. The only time my wife did was when she took the prenatal vitamin in the morning. Taking it at bedtime fixed that problem.

Morning sickness, for some women, doesn't start until around weeks 9-11. Some get it right away. Movies and books sensationalize morning sickness as a very early sign, when it usually takes a bit to get to.

As for frequency of urination, that really tends to set in during the late 2nd trimester and the 3rd trimester, as the baby is actually sitting on the bladder.

My wife and I got a ton of milage out of the book "What To Expect When You Are Expecting". It gives you a lot of details about what women go through, at what stages, and what to worry and not worry about. Read it. You will feel tons better afterwards.

Answer 5

I didn't find out I was pregnant until I was about 6 weeks along. The only symptoms I had was slight nausea if I woke up too early, I went into work around 3 some mornings. I didn't get any other symptoms until I was about 15 weeks along and I started getting heartburn on a regular basis. I absolutely LOVED being pregnant and I think that the lack of symptoms helped that. Good luck and have fun.

Answer 6

Congrats on the pregnancy! You may not feel very pregnant right away but believe me when you start feeling it you will wish it stayed away, well I did anyways. Some women do not have any morning sickness at all and some have severe morning sickness and start losing weight from it. Mine was severe and I was so glad when it eased up although I still get sick everyone once in a while. Dont worry you will feel very pregnant before you know it.

Answer 7

Not having morning sickness is not uncommon. Frequent urination will happen at the end of your pregnancy when the baby is bigger and sitting on your bladder. Cravings will come in the second trimeseter. But, you may not have weird cravings. I craved rootbeer and chocolate with my last baby, and I didn't like either prior to that pregnancy. Mood swings are normal, your hormone levels are changing, so your body needs time to adjust. Being tired is normal. Get a nap in while you can, because when the baby comes, lack of sleep will happen.

Answer 8

Yep, totally normal.
I had no morning sickness at all with my first, but did have it with my second. As far as cravings go, you shouldn't be having them. Although they are considered normal in pregnancy, cravings are a sign that you are lacking some sort of nutrient that the baby needs (iron deficiency is the most common). You are probably in very good health. Keep taking your vitamins, especially folic acid at this early stage. Also take red raspberry leaf tea (or capsules) as it is beneficial for your uterus.
Frequent urination doesn't come along until the baby start pressing on your bladder. Wait until it gets bigger. Then you'll feel it.

Answer 9

Ive been through it before. My son is 5 now. Its perfectly ok that you arent having any sickness or anything. I know in a weird way you look forward to it kind of to validate that you are pregnant since you arent showing and have no other proof other then the tests, but dont worry you are fine. Soon enough your belly will be very round. Hopefully you wont have to go through any sickness but Im sure the mood swings will start begin eventually.

Answer 10

All women do not experience morning sickness. When I was 6 weeks pregnant with my first child, I didn't experience any symptoms at all, except for feeling tired in the evening. It's wonderful to feel well while you are pregnant. It will make for positive memories of this exceptional time in your life and you can truly enjoy the miracle that is happening inside your body! Happy pregnancy and congratulations!

Answer 11

I'm 10 weeks pregnant with twins. I had severe nausea from weeks 5-10. I have now just had 3 good days in a row so I am hoping it has passed. My gf is having her 4th child and has never had nausea or vomiting with any of them. So, you may be one of the lucky ones or it may be coming. One of the best ways to keep it manageable is to try not to let yourself get to hungry. When you get up at 5am to see your hubby off to work, eat something then go back to bed. Eat when you are hungry and/or nauseous. Good luck!
