Why don't I feel pregnant?

Question

I'm 5 weeks, and I barely feel pregnant. I only have sore nipples. No other type of symptom. Is this okay?

Answer 1

You barely feel pregnant because you barely are pregnant. Most women don't even know they are pregnant at 5 weeks! Although morning sickness is common, a lot of women do not have it. Count your blessings if you are one of these lucky women! If you have not done so, see an OB/GYN. They will be able to answer any questions and tell you what to expect.

A great book to check out is "What to Expect When You're Expecting"
Also check out these websites:

These are just a few! There are hundreds of websites with lots of great info! Just do a search.

Answer 2

It's perfectly fine. Some women only have mild symptoms of pregnancy. Just count yourself lucky! You could be sick all day long or having awful headaches or stuff like that.

You might feel more pregnant as the weeks go by and baby is moving and your belly is growing.

Congratulations!

Answer 3

Your only five weeks! I didn't even have any symptoms until I was about 8 weeks...then it became a living hell. lol. You may be one of the lucky ones that don't get sick. But don't stress if you don't feel pregnant yet. Give yourself some time. Your breasts will grow, your belly will grow, and headaches,backaches, etc... will make you feel pregnant...I promise=) Good luck and Congrats!!!

I'm 6 months pregnant with my first baby girl. :D I never had morning sickness, but my mood swings were AWFUL!! I'd get mad at my poor, dear husband for the littlest things, like if he didn't want to go out to one of my favorite restaurants, I'd give him a choice: either take me out to eat, or I won't eat at all!! You'll soon find that out, if you haven't already. I only begun to feel pregnant. Sometimes the only way I'd know I was pregnant would be to either feel the baby moving or when I'd go to the OB/GYN and hear her heartbeat. It was only until my tummy started growing that my back started hurting and I started waking up every couple hours to pee. But I just keep telling myself that I only have 3 mos. left to go and all the pain and stress will all be worth it!! You just have to keep telling yourself that too!! Have a good pregnancy!

Answer 5

Actually I onlt have about 5 1/2 weeks left in my pregnancy and if it wouldn't be for the baby moving and my "belly" I still wouldn't feel pregnant. Just enjoy it. Congrats !!

Answer 6

relax in knowing that you are pregnant, and I'm gonna stress the word relax. You've got a lot ahead of you.

I remember wondering the same thing, and I didn't have morning sickness, nothing. Then........ well, you all of sudden will totally feel it!

good luck and congrats!!!

Answer 7

You're still too early, it'll be a couple more weeks before the small things set in and then it's a rough ride from there on out!!!!!!

Good luck

Answer 8

Yes it is fine. 5 weeks is early.
If someone is truly healthy, pregnancy won't get them down- they won't get morning sickness, etc. I knew someone who ran every day, and was running when her water broke. Amazing. I hope to be like that when I'm pregnant.
Don't worry, in another couple weeks you'll be feeling dumb for posting this when you get extra gasy, bloated and pukey in the morning. =)

Answer 9

just wait.......when it does hit you wont want the symptoms.
