Yes, do not worry! Some people do not have any symptoms for months. Consider yourself LUCKY! I am 5 mos 1 day and I'm experiencing mild on and off cramps, very slight nausea, frequent bathroom runs with not much urine, slightly more tired, and having trouble sleeping throught the night! I've been through 2 M/C but the doctor has me on Heparin shots and baby asprin, and lots of vitamins. So far so good. You do not need to worry!!!

X - Counting from the 1st day of your last period. That's how most doctors count and from what I have read, most resource books, as well. I'm 5 weeks/5 days, 1 m/c 2 years ago and we've been trying since. Very excited but very scared about another m/c too. I have some discomfort in my lower right abdomen. Anyone else?

I just found out yesterday that I'm five weeks. My stomach has cramped some, which kinda scares me and my boobs are sore. The morning sickness started about 3 days ago but most of the time it wakes me up in the middle of the night instead of in the morning. I've also had to pee alot more than usual. Congradulations to all of you.

hi, I'm 5 weeks today, according to the doctor. We found out last week and are very excited, this is our first and we had been trying for almost a year. Have been feeling nausea, thrown up a couple of times last week, but it has subsided a little, probably due to my eating a bit more snack type meals to stop that, peeing lots, sore and very big breasts and tired, also smelling everything!! Seeing preparation and cooking of food is really gross for me right now. Also bloated, anyone else have these symptoms? Congrats to all :)

I will be 6 weeks pregnant tomorrow. I have never been so excited in my entire life. We had been trying for nearly 4 years. I am not really sure about my symptoms. My breasts are definately more tender. I think my aereaolas might be darker. I do go to the loo more (but I have also started drinking more water). I definately am hungry more often and I could relate to another lady who said that she is colder than usual. That is me. I must say, becasue I am so happy to be pregnant at leats - I dont think I would really mind if I had other symptoms. I am happy to read that not every one has to have all the symptoms though. Best time of my life.
PS Have any of you told family, friends and colleagues yet?

Hi I'm 5 weeks today, my third pregnancy this year and this is the longest yet. My Beta levels went from 197 to 3133 in four days!! So I'm hopeful and praying. I don't have very much in the way of sympthoms yet, just sore and tender breasts, and sometimes they're worse then other days. I'm constantly poking to make sure they still hurt!! I did tell some friends and family, I can't help but be excited!!! I have to take a hepren shot daily, is there anyone else out there that has to take a blood thinner?

Did anyone else get a yeast infection?

To Japes, congratulations...I can't imagine your excitement after 4 years of trying..
I'm five wks pregnant with my fourth and have told a few people. I hate that people are negative bc it's out fourth and ask "was it planned?".
So far my boobs have been a bit tender, lots of wind and tummy pain and very emotional at times. Starting yesterday I began smelling things 200% more than everyone else, partic pork which truly made me want to vomit as I'm vegetarian! I'm also having problems sleeping...ugh.

Most people dont even get symptoms until months later! I'm 20 weeks pregnant and have had no sickness, minimal cramping and not much else! the only thing that made me realise i was pregnant was no preiod! Every person is different but i wouldn't worry too much and enjoy not having sickness and cramping yet coz you'll hate when you do!!! x x x

Took home pregnancy test that came out positive on "Arpil Fools Day" My boyfriend thought it was a joke. LOL
2 weeks prior to missing my period I knew something was wrong with me... I was eating like a pig and felt very depressed, tired and I was moody and cried alot. It was a relief to find out I was pregnant and not going crazy. I was happy to read most women who answered have the same symtoms at 5 weeks as I do. Sore breasts, hungry, peeing alot, burping, and very bloated.. I feel like I already look pregnant. The newest thing is that I have been tossing and turning all night and I am usually a very heavy sleeper. The biggest thing is the cramping which we are all woried about- it is apparently normal. I too had a mc about 7 years ago but I was very young so I am hoping for the best now at 26 years of age, all though having had the past experiance, it's giving me major anxiety.. unless that is another symtom. Good luck to all. :)

I am 5 weeks pregnant as well, and my symptoms consist of fatigue, being hungry ALL THE TIME, frequent urination...even for just a few drops, and my breasts are sore. I have some slight discomfort in my lower tummy, but they say that's normal! I haven't had any "morning sickness" either, just slight nausea. 

Name: Lou | Date: Apr 7th, 2005 11:07 AM
Enjoy this time it will go by faster then you know it and if your not having much symptoms enjoy that to b/c I didn’t get to enjoy much through out my pregnancy b/c I had to many of those symptoms and was always to sick to do anything.

There must be a trend with women searching for answers around the 5 weeks mark. It would be really interesting to hear from some of the women who first posted there comments at 5 weeks and have now given birth. I'm 5 weeks today. Really nervous and finding it really difficult to get excited because I had to have a medical termination at 16 weeks last year. The baby had something called PUV which is a problem affecting the flow of urine from the urethra. It only happens in boys and there is a 1 in 8000 chance of it happening. Of course I wasnted to know why me, but when you stop asking the question, that's when you can find peace and move one. So I'm pregnant again and just really looking forward to getting past 20 weeks. The first I know I was pregnant was when I could smell familiar smells I smelt in my last pregnancy which triggered a feeling of nausea and dread. I took the test then and it confirmed my suspisions. I so want to enjoy this pregnancy but am finding really hard to. I love my symptoms of sore boobs, tiredness, constant need to eat and urinate and last but not least flatulence. It means my little one is still there. Best wishes to all x

I am just past the 5 weeks mark (I think - LMP was 5th March - is 5 weeks right?) and this is my 3rd pregnancy in the last 6 months, with two miscarriages to my name. I have tender boobs, little twinges in my lower abdomen and more discharge than normal (which keeps making me think I am bleeding - so paranoid am I) and I think, at least I am hoping and praying, that I am starting to experience some feelings of nausea. Oh please oh please let me feel sick soon! I am trying to think positive for this one. Anyone else in this situation? This is a wonderful forum; it is so nice to see how you all support eachother.

I have just found out that me & my husband are expecting our first baby, i am 5 weeks. I have had a few symptoms like: extremely sore & swolen breasts with big ugly veins through them, and the bumps on the nipples. I have had a few headaches, i am feeling very tired & am sooo hungry. I am concerned as i have been having cramps in lower abdomen, although after reading this i think that it is pretty normal, although still concerned. I have also had diarhoea (although i did eat a very spicy dinner!) anybody else experincing these symptoms!! 

Name: rochelle | Date: Apr 14th, 2005 12:06 PM
